power of produce (POP) Club
Kids Learn, Create & Explore at the Market!
There’s always something for kids to discover at the market!
The Power of Produce (POP) Club is our free weekly kids program designed to help children connect with local food, farming and the market through hands-on activities, experiments, games and crafts.
One week kids might plant a seed, the next they could experiment with which vegetables sink or float, learn how bees pollinate our food, create art with fruits and vegetables—or even race a zucchini!
How It Works
POP Club is free and open to kids ages 3–12. Just stop by the POP Club tent during the market and join the fun.
WHAT HAPPENS AT POP CLUB?
Each week brings something different. Activities are designed to be fun first, while giving kids opportunities to learn more about food, farms, nature and the world around them.
Throughout the season, kids can:
Conduct simple science experiments with fruits and vegetables
Plant seeds and learn how food grows
Explore pollinators and their importance to our food system
Learn how food travels from farm to table
Create art inspired by seasonal produce
Play games featuring fruits and vegetables
Participate in special seasonal activities
Meet special guests
And, yes, race zucchinis! Join us for races on August 27 this year!
On select market days, families may also find a face painter at POP Club for even more fun.
Why POP Club Matters
Farmers markets are wonderful places for kids to learn. POP Club gives children a chance to experience the market as more than a place to shop. Through play, art and hands-on learning, they can begin to understand where food comes from, how plants grow, why pollinators matter and the role local farmers play in feeding our community.
Most importantly, we want kids to feel that the farmers market is their place, too—somewhere they can explore, ask questions and have fun.
