Impact of Power of Produce (Kids & Senior) on Muskegon County

Rules for the program are as follows:
- Muskegon County Residents only, age 60+,
- must provide complete information when registering – name, address, city/township, zip, age, county of residence,
- registrants will receive tokens to spend on fruits and vegetables at the Muskegon Farmers Market,
- end date of the program for the season will depend on the volume of people registering and checking-in.
Kids’ Power of Produce Club
Kids Power of Produce at the Farmers Market is now closed for the 2023 season.
When Kids Power of Produce is running, kids will receive $4 worth of tokens each Saturday and there will be activities for them from 10:00 a.m. until noon! Kids must be present when registering each Saturday to receive tokens. Have your kids spend their tokens promptly so the program gets these tokens back. We depend on returned tokens so we have enough to give out again.
Power of Produce is a membership club for kids, ages 3 – 13 yrs. They learn about healthy eating and can purchase their own fresh produce. We have registered nearly 750 kids for the 2022 season. Read More
