Farmer's Market Kid's Day

Author: Madalyn Hale

Planning Unit: Clark County CES

Major Program: Natural Resources

Plan of Work: Promote Health and Wellness

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Clark County Extension Office continued their support of local growers and producers through their support of the Winchester/Clark County Farmers Market with a Kid's Day Event. Extension and other sponsors offered $10 vouchers to the first 100 kids that were redeemable from each vendor at the Farmers Market. More than 130 youth were in attendance that day and more than 85% of the vouchers were redeemed as well. This helped youth learn about and experience fresh, local foods that they may not otherwise have known about. In some cases, youth and their guardians were able to purchase fruits and vegetables that they may not have been able to afford. Extension not only supported this event thru sponsorship of vouchers, but was also there engaging with youth and adults while handing out recipes, nutritional information, and sharing how extension can help them.
