Kid's Club

Last week, Central Farm Markets re-started the Kid's Club program that has become a great success at all of our markets. The Kid’s Club will rotate at all three markets, featuring fun craft activities related to holidays, food and more. Last week,  the Kid’s Club kicked off at Pike Central on Saturday and Bethesda Central on Sunday. We decorated flower pots for Mother’s Day using glitter paint, stickers, markers, and ribbons. Kids got creative and made some fabulous gifts for their mothers! Then, the kids got to pick out an herb plant (the beautiful plants were provided by Westmoreland Produce) which the kids planted it in the pot! You should have seen the look on some of these kid’s faces when they held a personalized pot for Mom, complete with a real herb plant in their hands! The Kid’s Club is made possible with the generous help of CFM's business sponsors, who allow us to bring activities like Kid's Club, CompostKIDS and our music program to our patrons free of charge. without charging. We encourage you to patronize them!We do ask parents to consider donating to Manna Food Center when participating in the Kid’s Club - we have a container for donations available. The Kid’s Club will circulate through the markets throughout the season, with different activities each month.
