Duke recently celebrated the year's Harvest Festival, the final Farmers Market for 2008, on Friday, September 26.
Planning for the 2009 Duke Farmers Market Season — the 9th year at Duke
During October, the LIVE FOR LIFE team is gathering comments and suggestions from Duke employees about the 2009 Season of the Duke Farmers
Market. Farmers and vendors are meeting this month to tell about expected growing seasons for fruits and vegetables and to schedule their booths
for next year.
The Duke Farmers Market is one of the many programs that supports Duke's sustainability efforts.

About the Duke Farmers Market
The LIVE FOR LIFE Farmers Market offers the freshest, best tasting fruits and vegetables available! The
Farmers Market offers a wide variety of produce and recipes to help you get the
number of servings of fruits and vegetables you need to be healthy.
Each week's produce is collected from participating farmers for free drawings. Each
market also offers healthy lunch vendors.
The Duke Farmers Market began in 2001, and is sponsored by LIVE FOR LIFE. The market servers as a sustainable method
to provide Duke faculty and staff with fresh, locally-grown produce.
