Mobile Market brings farm-fresh to campus
posted February 24th, 2009
No time to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables?
Make it easier. Get your produce “to go” through the LIVE FOR LIFE Mobile Market.
With the Mobile Market, faculty and staff pre-pay for produce and pick up their share of the harvest once a week. This Spring, seven local farmers/vendors will provide fruit, vegetables and flowers, with deliveries starting early to mid April at Duke Gardens (with one farmer delivering to Durham Regional Hospital).
The produce, price, size of share and number of delivery weeks differ for each farmer.
New this year, be sure to review the “Vendor Side-by-Side Comparison” that outlines what farmers offer early pick up and payment plan options.
The Mobile Market also offers healthy meals to go…
Rosie’s Plate offers innovative, healthy meal options for you and your family.
Rosie’s Plate offers a variety of fresh, delicious foods for take-out including entrees, side dishes, salads, soups and snacks. All items are created in a kitchen completely free of gluten, shellfish and peanuts, and are all natural. Each week, employees can order food from Rosie’s Plate up to one day in advance and pick up on Tuesdays at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. View the menu and order on-line at www.RosiesPlate.com or call (919) 833-0505.
