The land for Farm Campus is part of a 129-acre property located at the corner of 15-501/North Roxboro Road and Orange Factory Road (a State-designated scenic byway) in North Durham.
The land includes 43 acres of cleared agricultural land, 48 acres of forested land, and 4 ponds totaling 8.9 acres. It is approximately 9 miles north of Downtown Durham, in a location that is ideal for serving both central and northern Durham residents within the recently adopted Urban Growth Boundary. It is adjacent to property owned by the Triangle Land Conservancy. This Orange Factory Road land is beautiful and healthy with a variety of trees and wildlife and offers additional opportunities for the community to experience the natural environment.
In the fall of 2023, a landowner contacted Durham County Open Space and Real Estate staff to offer this land for sale to Durham County with a hope of seeing a portion of the land used for agricultural purposes. The purchase was approved by the Board of County Commissioners and finalized in 2024.
