MURFREESBORO
— The MTSU Student
Farmers Market will be open from noon to 3 p.m. Friday, June 21, at the
Horticulture Center on Lightning Way across from the Tennessee Livestock
Center. The event is open to the public.
Because of road
construction at the intersection of Champion and Lightning ways, people
shopping at the farmers market should arrive via Blue Raider Drive on the north
side of campus or MTSU Boulevard on the east side of campus. A printable campus
map can be found at http://tinyurl.com/MTParkingMap12-13.
Available to
customers will be tomatoes, yellow squash, potatoes, onions, kale, collards,
beets and carrots. Honey from the MTSU farm also will be available.
The produce is
grown and harvested by students, faculty and staff at the university’s farm and
dairy in Lascassas, Tenn. Most of what is being sold will be harvested Friday
morning.
Accepted forms
of payment are cash and checks. No debit or credit cards are accepted.
The Student
Farmers Market will continue every Friday until early fall.
For more
