Education

Our youngest market goers know that the place to be on Wednesdays is the Market Sprouts tent!

​

For six weeks during the summer, Jess takes the market kids on a farm and food adventure that includes a hands on project, lots of conversation and a very valuable token.

​

Between 10:00 and noon, any young market customer can drop into the tent, learn about farms or worms or seeds or dirt....you get the idea.  After they do their project (decorating a cucumber, figuring out which seed goes with which plant, taste testing something new) they grab a token worth $2 that they can spend at any vendor offering fresh fruits or veggies.

​

Some of our regulars have their favorites and make a beeline with mom or dad trailing behind to grab some peas or strawberries or whatever is in season.

​

We offer this program free of charge and cover our expenses with donations, grants, local business sponsors.
