Itinerary:

This event is for infants/toddlers/preschoolers/children and their caregivers only (grandparents are welcome). The pace will be a preschooler pace. It will be the responsibility of the caregiver to ensure we stick together as a group.

Please note: for adults only please sign up for other adult only events.

Sprouts Program: Designed to empower children to choose healthy foods and lifestyles, the Sprouts Program is our flagship family program at SWEFM. All kids aged 4-12 are invited to join this free club to learn about healthy eating, cooking, and supporting local farmers.

Every week, children aged 4-12 visit the Sprouts Tent and receive a wooden token worth $2 to spend at our fruit and vegetable vendors. Sprouts also receive a kid-friendly recipe made with seasonal ingredients to learn valuable cooking skills and bring that produce into the kitchen! The program is completely free and open to children from all communities.

We will walk together starting at 510pm as a group from Robert Carter Park to the market (approx 20 mins) and visit the sprouts tent, then we will have about 15-30 minutes to browse and find some fruit or veggies before meeting back at the sprouts tent at 545/6pm.
