The popular Power of Produce Club will be joining our market for the 2nd year, beginning this Saturday. Operated by the Inland Northwest Food Network, the program seeks to encourage children to make healthy food choices by empowering them to shop for, grow and prepare fresh fruits and vegetables.
Children between the ages of 5-12 are eligible to participate in the program free of charge. Upon registering, they will given a reusable shopping bag and a PoP Club button. In addition, each week club 
members will receive a token worth $2 to purchase a fresh fruit, vegetable or plant at participating farmer booths at the market, or they can choose to save their tokens to buy a larger item such as a fruit tree.
The program will run weekly from June 2 – Sept 1, 2018 at the Hayden Farmers’ Market.
