Outcome: Initial Outcome
"Where does your food come from" is an age old topic that is always in need of being taught to the youth of today. When this topic can be tackled and taught while supporting local farmers, that is a winning opportunity. The Clark County Extension Office joined efforts with the Winchester Clark County Farmers Market to host Kid's Day. Extension offered $10 vouchers to the first 100 kids that were redeemable from each vendor at the Farmers Market. More than 200 youth were in attendance, ,with 100% of the vouchers being handed out, and 95% of the vouchers being redeemed. Youth and their families not only learned about and experienced the local food system, but they also learned about supporting local farmers, community memebers, and even a neighbor. By providing the vouchers and education information at their booth, Extension was able to provide education to youth and their families, while showing support to the local farmers.
