Duke Sustainability

The Mobile Farmers Market is one of the many programs that supports Duke's sustainability efforts.

 

Too busy to grocery shop? Save time and effort by pre-purchasing fruits and vegetables from local farmers through the Mobile Farmers Market. The mobile market is the first market of its kind at any university. It's a form of community supported agriculture (CSA), a concept that encourages small farmers to sell directly to local customers.
