Farms & Vendors

All farmers at the Duke Farmers Market are locally owned and operated, with many having ties to Duke. The following farmers and vendors will appear at the Duke Farmers Market this season. Make sure to check out the Farmers Market Food Truck Schedule as well.

Axis Produce

Website: axisproduce.com
Location: Silk Hope, NC

Bio: They began over a decade ago as East Branch Ginger, founded by two horticultural experts. This family business was a pioneer in microgreens production in North Carolina. Stephanie took over and, on the family's advice, renamed it Axis Produce. "Axis" highlights the role of the sunlight in producing our long-lasting and nutrient dense greens. It is also a dance term that refers to holding one's balance. Similarly, our operation is a balance between nature—sunlight, natural soil ingredients—and technology.

Microgreens are a fantastic addition to any diet. They are easy to digest and significantly denser in nutrients than their 'adult' counterparts. Many, like those in the brassica family, are very high in antioxidants. Our microgreens CSA is a low-cost, high-impact way to boost your diet, especially when you do not have a lot of time to cook. Outside of Duke Hospital Market, our microgreens can be found at the Durham Co-op Market, the Saxapahaw General Store, the Chatham Marketplace and Phoenix Bakery, as well as on many restaurant plates throughout the Triangle.

Oh, and speaking of dance, when they aren't on the farm, Stephanie and her daughter are usually somewhere dancing, either Argentine tango or Appalachian clogging.

Campbell's Café & Jamaican Cuisine Food Truck

Website: campbellscafeja.com/
Location: Rougemont, NC
Owner: Romaen Campbell and Shannon Thomas-Campbell

Bio: Campbell's Café was born of two peoples' love for one another and for hosting friends with great food. Wife, Shannon's love for food trucks combined with her husband Romaen's amazing ability to make any meal seem gourmet lead them to hope of one day having a business of their own to share this. After years of planning, dreaming and using all their friends and family as taste testers they took a giant leap and purchased a food trailer to make it all a reality. We aspire for everyone who has our food to feel the love and care that went into our creations and to leave feeling like they have shared a delicious meal with friends.
