This is a new children's program beginning this outdoor season. It is a way for children to get connected with the food that is on their dinner plates and their local food system! All Little Peas Club members receive:

​

• Free monthly activity that is carefully crafted to engage kids of all ages and educate them about our local food and/or food system

• One free fruit or vegetable per month from one of the LSqFM market vendors

• Punch Card - this loyalty card is available to all kids at the market and they can get it punched just for showing up to the market. Once their card is full, they can pick a prize out of the prize box!

  • Chef demo with food tasting

  • Food preservation classes - how to pickle your veggies or preserve your fruit

• Monthly recipe card for farmers market meals under $5/serving you can make at home

  • Win a mushroom grow kit to start growing your own mushrooms at home

  • Win a 3 month CSA membership with Geneva Lakes or Star Farms

While COVID put a pause on it for a bit, this upcoming season we are committed to composting onsite with WasteNot! Benefits include:

 

• A sustainable market - composting will reduce the market's carbon footprint by averting all food waste into rich useful soil

• Educational Tools - aside from learning to compost waste onsite, information on how composting works and how to start at home will be available to all patrons as well

• Resources - WasteNot compost will be onsite every Sunday to help jumpstart at home compost or offer up information on their program
