Collards: Past, Present and Future- Papermaking and Recipe Swap

For three years, the Duke Campus Farm cultivated the Jernigan Yellow Cabbage Collard as part of the Heirloom Collards Project, a national seed saving initiative with the goal of cultivating and preserving a wide range of collard varieties. On June 25th, the DCF will tell the story of the Jernigan Yellow Cabbage Collard at various stages of its growth, from seed to leaf to flower to hulls, and cherish their abundance through acts of art and consumption- papermaking, recipe swaps, and conversation.

Mindful Movement

Every Thursday at 10 a.m., add some movement to your mindfulness practice with Mindful Movement. The 15-minute Zoom sessions will combine movement, breathwork, visualization and intention to create a moving meditation practice that enhances relaxation and improves well-being. Drop in for an enhanced mindfulness experience through a focus on mobilization.

Community Work Day

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Mindful Moment

Every Tuesday at 2 p.m., take a moment to relax, recharge, and re-center yourself with Mindful Moment, a group mindfulness program offered by LIVE FOR LIFE. During these quick, 15-minute sessions, you'll learn and practice simple breathing and mindfulness techniques that can reduce stress, increase self-awareness, improve concentration, and promote overall well-being. Drop in and reframe your day with calm and clarity.
