MURFREESBORO
— The MTSU Student
Farmers Market will be open from noon to 3 p.m. Friday, May 14, 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
attending 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 early vegetables (lettuces, radishes, kale, spinach, onions,
beets, strawberries, carrots, crookneck squash and more).
“We even have
our first red tomatoes,” said Dr. Nate Phillips, assistant professor in the
School of Agribusiness and Agriscience, who oversees the project at the MTSU Experiential
Learning and Research Center off Guy James Road in Lascassas.
Also available
will be MTSU honey and nursery plants, mainly perennials and shrubs.
The produce is
grown and harvested by students, faculty and staff at the university’s farm and
dairy.
Accepted forms
of payment are cash and checks. No debit or credit cards are accepted.
The Student
Farmers Market is expected to continue every Friday until late summer and into
early fall.
For more
