Getting to the Farm

The farm is located at 4934 Friends School Rd, directly across from Carolina Friends School in the Duke Forest. The farm's location also populates if you search "Duke Campus Farm" in Google or Apple maps.

Coming from Duke University, take 751 to the roundabout and turn down Old Erwin Rd towards Chapel Hill. Turn right at Mt. Sinai and take another right onto Friends School Road. Just across from the Carolina Friends School, take another right onto the gravel driveway marked Duke Campus Farm visitor parking. Please park in the fenced gravel parking lot.

Our parking lot is located across the street from the Carolina Friends School. Please DO NOT drive down Narrow Ln for any reason; this is our neighbors' private street and we want to respect their privacy! If you need to turn around, please do so at the Friends School or our parking lot.
