The Duke Farmers Market has moved to its new location at the green space beyond Mudd Library near
the Bryan Research Building. |
Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Duke Farmers Market is open for its 9th Season Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the green space beyond Mudd Library near the Bryan Research Building.
All Duke employees are invited to visit the market regularly so that they can purchase and eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
Research studies show that when people increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables they live healthier lives.
The theme for the market this year is to "Be a Locavore!" Locavores are people who try to eat local food whenever possible.
At the Duke Farmers Market, you can shake hands with the farmer, ask questions about how your food is grown, taste something new and get recipe ideas.
The Duke Farmers Market is part of a growing interest in the farm-to-fork style of eating. Farmers from nearby farms sell
seasonal fresh, tasty fruits and vegetables. Vendors sell lavender and gift items, flowers and plants, coffee beans, honey and
jams, and crafts. Lunch vendors offer a variety of healthy meals. On selected weeks, chefs grill and cook tasty fresh foods, talk
about creating healthy recipes, and offer taste-tests. Other demonstrations are scheduled throughout the season.
