Duke Mobile Farmers Market opens in April 2012.  Sign up with farmers begins in January.

If Duke employees are too busy to grocery shop for fresh strawberries or corn at Duke's weekly Farmers Market, why not have the shopping done for them?

Duke Mobile Farmers Market is a convenient way to get fresh, local produce, meats, and flowers.  Pre-purchase your orders from various vendors, and pick them up weekly on your way home.

Why did LIVE FOR LIFE start the Duke Mobile Farmers Market?

Many Duke employees are too busy or work too far away to shop on campus at the Duke Farmers Market on Fridays.  At the same time, local farmers are asking for more locations to sell large quantities of their freshly grown produce. The Duke Mobile Farmers Market is designed for farmers who drive to locations where employees travel at the end of a work day. Everyone is mobile: farmers and employees! The mobile market is a form of community supported agriculture (CSA), a concept that encourages small farmers to sell directly to local customers. In return, customers provide up-front funds to help farmers buy seeds and supplies for the season. For more information, click here. Farmers also sell extra produce at tables while distributing the CSA boxes.

Participants with the Duke Mobile Farmers Market can also find tips and recipes on how to store and prepare produce from the market.

Please see Farms & Vendors for more information.

Farmers will accept customers until they reach full serving capacity.
