Duke's Mobile Market

If Duke employees are too busy to grocery shop for fresh strawberries or corn at Dukes weekly Farmers Market, why not have the shopping done for them?

Duke faculty and staff can save time and effort by signing up for the Mobile Market, which is managed by LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke's employee health promotion program.

Employees pre-pay for one or more shares, which is a part of a weeks harvest. Items vary by week and farmer; prices are also different for each farm. Farmers bring their products, already boxed, to the Sarah P. Duke Gardens or to Durham Regional Hospital from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays for pick up.

Last year, more than 300 Duke faculty and staff participated in the market, putting more than $40,000 back into the local economy, said Jason Horay, a health education manager with LIVE FOR LIFE.
