This & That Jam

Beyond selling delicious preserves, we also aim to help integrate canning and preserving into our everyday culture through workshops and after school programs. We believe that farming and gardening are the best methods of teaching children about science, teamwork and their local environment through hands-on activities. We hope to teach people in our local community not just about gardening but what to do with the fruits, vegetables and herbs that they harvest. Peppers may not be available in January, but that doesn’t mean sourcing them from South America- we want to show children that they can make delicious preserves that will be accessible in the pantry until the next time they can enjoy a fresh, locally-grown watermelon.

Duke Campus Farm

The Duke Campus Farm is a multi-year project to construct a fully functional and educational farm. The Farm aspires to engage students with food issues, increase sustainability at Duke, and influence campus culture to reconnect students with their food. We sell our fruits and vegetables to Bon Appétit and our produce is served in Duke dining halls, including The Great Hall, the Refectory, and Plate & Pitchfork. We also hope to integrate the farm into course curriculums. Our goal is to become the center of the local and sustainable food movement at Duke.
