Durham Public Schools Hub Farm

The Durham Public Schools Hub Farm is a 30 acre farm, forest and aquatic habitat located adjacent to Eno Valley Elementary School in Durham, North Carolina. Spearheaded by DPS Career-Technical Education and guided by a small staff and advisory board, the project engages students and teachers, and the greater Durham community in all aspects of sustainable farming systems, environmental stewardship, health and nutrition, and career development.

The Hub Farm’s mission is to improve the academic achievement and health of students in Durham Public Schools through project-based learning in outdoor environments. Supporting this mission, the Hub Farm site includes food production gardens, rain gardens, pollinator gardens, beehives, a floating lab, ecological study areas of forest, ponds, wetland and streams, and robust and diverse community and institutional partnership networks that leverage this physical resource for the health and nutritional development of Durham’s youth.
