Kid’s Day at the Farmer’s Market
Author: Heather Coleman
Planning Unit: Floyd County CES
Major Program: Agriculture
Plan of Work: Agricultural Education and Production
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Floyd County 4-H Partnered with the Floyd County Farmer’s Market to host two Kid’s Day at the Farmers Market. During the Event Floyd County 4-H gave out totes to the youth who attended. In each tote was a Farmer’s Market Tool kit, 4-H water bottle and pencil, plate it up recipe cards, 4-H Activity booklet and 4-H Clover bucks worth $5.00. Youth were able to spend the clover bucks at the market to buy fresh produce and the Floyd County 4-H Council reimbursed the vendors. We also gave out popcorn and we did face painting. Over the two Saturday’s 115 youth attend the Market. At the first market $136.00 clover bucks were used out of $908.00 sold that day. At the second market $155.00 clover bucks were used out of $1189.50 sold that day. Floyd County 4-H and the Farmer’s Market are in the process of planning more events this upcoming season.
