MTSU Student Farmers Market set for Friday in Horticulture Center

MURFREESBORO — The MTSU Student Farmers Market will be open Friday, Oct. 7, from noon until 2 p.m. in the Horticulture Center, officials in the School of Agribusiness and Agriscience said.

Because of classes in the Horticulture Center classroom (where the sale is held during summer), the farmers market will be in the Horticulture Center head house. Attendees should just go past the classroom into the greenhouse portion of the building.

Available for sale will be organically produced squash, zucchini, strawberries, turnip greens, mustard greens, collards, lettuce, peppers, eggplant, and more. Also available will be MTSU-produced honey.

Organizers said they expect to have a fall farmers market the next three Fridays in October. All will be from noon to 2 p.m. For more information, call 615-898-2523.
