Welcome to the Sprouts Kids Club!

Sprouts Kids Club is a program modeled after a national program called “The Power of Produce.” The mission is to educate and encourage children to take part in the local food system, to understand the benefits of eating nutritious foods, and to expose them to new fruits and vegetables.

Providing activities to allow children to engage with local farmers will encourage a deeper understanding of farmers and where food comes from. By empowering children to form relationships with our local food growers and make healthy food choices, we hope to improve future health outcomes of childhood obesity and type-2 diabetes while encouraging a new generation of informed, healthy market shoppers.

The Sprouts Kids Club is free to all children ages 5 - 12, with a specific emphasis on children with less access to fresh, local healthy food options.

Sprouts Kids Club – how it works

Free to all KIDS - Ages 5 – 12. Upon registering for the program, children receive:

A reusable Sprouts shopping bag (for the first 100 children to sign up)
$2 in special Sprouts tokens each week when visiting the Market. The Sprouts tokens can be used on fresh fruits and veggies, or food producing plants
Weekly educational activities such as tastings, games, and more.

Passport To Health

Parents will fill out a short form to sign their child up at the Sprouts booth. Each week when children attend they will be checked in by one of our staff. Special incentives may be given throughout the season when a child attends the market a set number of times in a month (ie: the child becomes the market bell ringer for a day). Additionally, parents may receive emails with other incentives for their children to participate in the Sprouts Kids Club.
