Token Contest

September 12, 2020 by Melissa Leave a Comment

We need new tokens. We’ll be retiring our current EBT and debit tokens after this season. It’s time to put the current ones to bed. We want your help in designing the new ones!

You can get an entry form at the market or you can print off your own here. You can choose anything for inspiration for your design, but if you’re at a loss for ideas, consider your favorite vegetable, farm images, DeSoto icons, or a person you admire. Please limit your design to three colors, but the medium you use it up to you: markers, crayons, pencils; even a digital design is okay.

Be sure to check out the requirements for each side of the token because entries that do not include all the parameters will be excluded from the judging.

Entries must be submitted by October 3, 2020 at noon.

Entries can be submitted by turning in your form at the market or by emailing your design to [email protected]. The winning design for each token, EBT and debit, will be awarded $20 in current tokens and $20 in new tokens for next year. We’ll also honor you at the unveiling ceremony when the market opens in 2021!

New Market Season | New P.O.P. Club

May 1, 2019 by Melissa Leave a Comment

P.O.P. Club is just for kids! Available to kids ages 4-12, the program is designed to encourage healthy eating. On the first and third Saturdays of each month during the market season, kids who enroll in the program will receive $2 of market tokens to purchase produce! That’s right: $2 worth of tokens. They don’t have to do anything but show up at the P.O.P. Club table and have a parent or guardian sign them up.

Now kids being the way they are, some will immediately go spend their tokens on lettuce, broccoli, or as the season progresses, tomatoes, peppers, etc. Some know what October brings though, and are diligent enough to save their tokens across the entire season for…pumpkins! Regardless of the kind of kid in your household, P.O.P. Club might be just the thing to encourage a little more vegetable and a little less candy. The kids can get a free sticker too if they check in at the market on other Saturdays as well.

And yes, for you discerning parents and guardians out there, 2019 P.O.P. Club is offered on the first and third Saturdays. The addition of the third Saturday was due to the generosity of this year’s wonderful sponsor: the Jefferson County Health Department!
