Produce market to open June 10 in Institute

West Virginia State University (WVSU) Extension Service will open its Stinger Produce Market in Institute on Wednesday, June 10.

Now entering its third year, the Stinger Produce Market continues its mission of providing affordable produce to community members and WVSU students, faculty and staff.

The market will continue to offer $15 produce subscription boxes containing seasonally available produce, totaling three servings per day of the week. Subscribers may pay weekly or set up a monthly payment option. Individual produce items will also be available for purchase.

The market is located along W.Va. Route 25, across the street from the university’s main entrance. It will be open to the public through September on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

More information about the Stinger Produce Market is available on Facebook or by emailing WVSU Extension Educator Haley King at haley.king@wvstateu.edu.
