Our Programs

Picture
Our market hosts Nourish Kids programming every 4th Sunday of the month in partnership with Nourish Knoxville.

Nourish Kids provides a fun opportunity for children to engage in the local food system through conversations with farmers, educational games and demonstrations, and exposure to new fruits and vegetables. Kids crate positive associations with vegetables, build relationships with farmers, develop budgeting skills, and begin to influence their local economy. 

In normal times, children attend the market on a Kids Club day, sample a vegetable, do an activity provided by a nonprofit partner, and receive $5 in Produce Bucks to spend at the market. 
​
In the COVID-19 era, a parent can attend the market to pick up produce bucks for their children and a take-home activity kit and produce sample.

Double Up Food Bucks

Double Up Food Bucks is a SNAP-doubling program offered at farmers' markets and grocers across the country, provided in partnership with the Fair Food Network and Nourish Knoxville.

The market will give the customer up to $20 per day in FREE tokens to be used on any fresh fruit or vegetable at the market. Get $10 in SNAP tokens, and you'll get an additional $10. Swipe for $20, get $20 extra! DUFB tokens can be spent at any of the participating markets or farm stores and should be used by the end of the calendar year. More information is available here.
