Power with Produce

What parents can expect

Parents can bring their children to the Kids Booth during the market. Children will receive their $2 in POP tokens and may participate in the weekly kids activity.

Each week may include a different hands-on activity, such as planting seeds, learning about bees and pollination, doing a scavenger hunt, coloring contests, or making healthy food crafts.

After receiving their tokens, kids can visit produce vendors and choose which fresh fruit or vegetable they would like to buy.

When to Arrive

The Boonville Farmers Market is open every Thursday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Upper Erwin Park.

For the best POP experience, families are encouraged to arrive between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, especially if children want to participate in the weekly Kids Booth activity before supplies or activity times end.

Limit: $2 in POP tokens per child, per market visit. Tokens may only be used for fresh fruits and vegetables.

P.O.P Summer program for Kids

The POP Program — Power of Produce is a free kids program designed to help children make healthier food choices while having fun at the farmers market.

Each child receives two $1 tokens per market visit to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables from participating produce vendors. Kids get to choose their own produce, which helps them feel excited and confident about trying healthy foods.

Tokens do not need to be spent the same day. Children may save their tokens and use them later in the season for their favorite fruits and vegetables.

why P.O.P Matters:

Try new fruits and vegetables
Learn where their food comes from
Meet local farmers and vendors
Build healthy eating habits
Practice making their own food choices
Understand the value of fresh, local food

The national POP model was created to give children hands-on farmers market experiences through produce tokens, educational activities, and exposure to fresh fruits and vegetables. Many POP programs also include games, demonstrations, taste tests, gardening lessons, and market-based learning activities.
