Sweet Summertime at the Farmer's Market

Author: Rachel Hance

Planning Unit: Logan County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Plan of Work: Improve Nutrition, Health and Safety

Outcome: Initial Outcome

For the past few years, our extension staff has partnered to provide a community event to educate and invite our clients to the farmers’ market. This year’s event was Sweet Summertime at the Farmer’s Market drive-through no-contact event.

We targeted preschool through middle school youth. Each client received a bag with sidewalk chalk with physical fitness educational activities, sunglasses with sun safety information, bubbles with bubble art activity information, keychains, and Farmers’ Market bucks to spend at the Farmers’ Market. Preschool youth were also given an additional bag with Kindergarten Readiness education material. We partnered with FRYSCs and they provided board games, household items, and popsicles to the participants. 144 youth participated in the event and $749 Farmers’ Market bucks were spent at the Farmers’ Market.
