The New York Times - Duke Campus Farm

"Grassy quadrangles are staples on most college campuses. But maybe all that soil can be put to a different use: a handful of colleges and universities have planted small student-run farms on formerly grassy areas in recent years...students at Duke University started the Duke Campus Farm in 2010, and much of what the farmers produce is served in Duke’s own dining halls."

Voices of America - The Duke Campus Farm

"Duke University’s new campus farm in Durham, North Carolina celebrated its first-ever harvest festival recently... In just its first year, the farm has provided the campus dining halls with more than two tonnes of fresh produce... The Duke Campus Farm is celebrating its first season in business. Many of its growing pains lie ahead. The same can be said for the movement it represents. These are exciting but difficult times for young farmers getting their first taste of farming life."
