The 4th Saturday Children's Activity is new to the market, but has already seen great results.

The market aims to plan activities to engage with and educate the kids visiting the market in creative ways.
In last month's activity, children learned how to properly transplant tomatoes into a paper cup that they could then transplant into the ground.
