2009 Start! Triangle Heart Walk
Location: RBC Center in Raleigh
The last market of the 2009 season highlights the best, flavorful fruits and vegetables grown during early fall in North Carolina. Locally grown food is picked at the
height of freshness and brought directly to our Duke Farmers Market, often making it to the market within 24 hours of being picked. Celebrate the Fall Harvest Festival
at the Market on Friday, September 11 from 11 am to 2 pm. This year's Locavore theme highlights our theme of purchasing and eating locally grown foods from North Carolina.
Highlights

Farm views at each local farmer's tent & restaurant locators at each lunch vendor stand!
Old Time Music Under the WHITE TENT
Professor Rytas Vilgalys from the Biology Department will again gather some friends to bring us authentic "old-time" music. Watch
and listen as the "Boiled Cabbages" play Old Time Strings Music. They perform music from the last century, or even the one before that is played in the "old-time swing
style". The feeling of the music is always authentic.
