Kids Club

Fresh Squad

The Fresh Squad is a farmers market kids club for children ages 5-12. Started in 2017, the Fresh Squad program focuses on teaching kids how to shop and save money in a controlled environment, while learning about our local produce and market products. This encourages families to shop, cook and work together at the Downtown Farmers Market.

Sign Up for the 2024 FRESH SQUAD KIDS CLUB

How does it work?

• Parents/Guardians complete a registration and pay $20 per child to become members of the club. Club participation is for June, July & August (total of 13 weeks).
• Children check-in each market day they attend. First market day of the month, each child will receive a booklet with $5 of fresh squad money in it to spend. $3 must be spent on food items and $2 may be spent on anything at the market. The child can spend the money in one day or save it for a larger purchase.
• Bonus bucks will be earned for every 4th check-in at the market.
• Activities will be available the second and fourth weekend of June and July and the second weekend of August. Past activities have included a market scavenger hunt, art projects, cooking classes and how to grow your own herb garden.
