The MTSU Student Farmers Market will be open from noon to 2 p.m. today, Friday, May 9, at the Horticulture Center on Lightning Way across from the Tennessee Livestock Center.
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 spring onions, kale, strawberries, mustard greens, lettuce, peas, and maybe 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.
