Goodview Farmers Market的“产品力量”计划为孩子们的代币购买蔬菜

该计划称为“流行音乐”，每次访问市场时都会给3岁以上的孩子们。象征最多值得2美元的新鲜蔬菜。

The Goodview Farmers Market is in full swing, and this year it’s seen an influx of young shoppers thanks to the "Power of Produce" program, which began in May.

Goodview农贸市场正在如火如荼地进行，今年，由于“农产品的力量”计划始于5月，它已经看到了年轻购物者的涌入。

The program, called “POP,” gives kids who are 3 years and older a token each time they visit the market. That token is good for up to $2 in fresh vegetables from any vendor at the market.

该计划称为“流行音乐”，每次访问市场时都会给3岁以上的孩子。该代币可用于市场上任何供应商的新鲜蔬菜最多可提供2美元。

Since the program started this year, nearly 300 kids signed up and received free tokens and reusable bags.

自从今年开始该计划以来，将近300个孩子签约并获得了免费的令牌和可重复使用的袋子。

"The goal is to encourage healthy eating," organizer Shannon Randall said. "It’s all positive things."

组织者香农·兰德尔（Shannon Randall）说：“目标是鼓励健康饮食。” “这都是积极的事情。”

The program is funded by donations from community members and local businesses.

该计划由社区成员和当地企业的捐款资助。

"We’re really grateful for the support," Laturno said. "It's been amazing to see how many people care about the kids in our community and want to see them succeed."

拉努尔诺说：“我们真的很感谢支持。” “看到有多少人关心我们社区中的孩子并希望看到他们成功真是太神奇了。”

At first, kids were shy to use their tokens and preferred to follow their parents around, but now they're quickly picking out their favorite vegetables and heading straight to the vendors.

起初，孩子们害羞地使用代币，更喜欢跟随父母，但是现在他们很快就挑选了自己喜欢的蔬菜，然后直接去供应商。

"They're making healthy choices and learning about different foods in a fun way," said Pam Zimmerman, whose son Graysen and daughter Aviana Zimmerman both enjoy the program.

帕姆·齐默尔曼（Pam Zimmerman）说：“他们正在做出健康的选择，并以一种有趣的方式学习不同的食物。”他的儿子格雷森（Graysen）和女儿阿维亚娜·齐默尔曼（Aviana Zimmerman）都喜欢该计划。

With a bag full of sugar snap peas in hand, 2-year-old Graysen ran past vegetable vendors at the Goodview Farmers Market on Thursday afternoon. He left a trail of peas behind him — his plastic bag had a hole in it.

2岁的格雷森（Graysen）拿着一个装满糖豆豌豆的袋子，在周四下午在古景农贸市场上经过蔬菜供应商。他在身后留下了一条豌豆 - 他的塑料袋里有一个洞。

"Oh shoot, peas are falling out," his mom exclaimed, running behind him.

“哦，射击，豌豆正在掉下来。”他的妈妈大叫，在他身后跑来跑去。

He turned, realized he’d lost peas and stopped to let his mom push them back into his bag — but not before snatching a couple and shoving them in his mouth.

他转过身，意识到自己失去了豌豆，停下来让妈妈把它们推回书包中 - 但不要在抢走一对夫妇并将它们推入嘴里之前。

Graysen and his sister, Aviana Zimmerman, are just two of the kids who have been benefitting from the Goodview Farmers Market's "Power of Produce" program. The program, called "POP," gives kids who are 3 years and older a token each time they visit the market. That token is good for up to $2 in fresh vegetables.

格雷森（Graysen）和他的姐姐阿维亚娜·齐默尔曼（Aviana Zimmerman）只是从Goodview Farmers Market的“产品力量”计划中受益的两个孩子。该计划称为“流行音乐”，每次访问市场时都会给3岁以上的孩子们。该令牌最多可容纳2美元的新鲜蔬菜。

Since the program started this year, nearly 300 kids signed up and received free tokens and reusable bags. Thankfully for Graysen, his sister likes to share, and because of that he's found his new favorite treat: sugar snap peas.

自从今年开始该计划以来，将近300个孩子签约并获得了免费的令牌和可重复使用的袋子。值得庆幸的是，格雷森（Graysen）喜欢分享，因此，他找到了他最喜欢的零食：糖豆豌豆。

When asked if he’d share a pea with a hungry reporter, he clutched his bag of peas tighter and shook his head no.

当被问及他是否会与饥饿的记者共享豌豆时，他紧紧抓住豌豆袋，摇了摇头。

"They love coming down (to the farmers market)," Pam said.

帕姆说：“他们喜欢下来（到农贸市场）。”

Although they eat plenty of vegetables at home, Pam said the program has really allowed them the freedom to try new things.

尽管他们在家吃了很多蔬菜，但帕姆说，该计划确实使他们可以自由尝试新事物。

"It's a great way to get them involved with choosing their own produce. They're more likely to eat it if they choose it."

“这是让他们参与选择自己的农产品的好方法。如果他们选择它，他们更有可能食用它。”

And that’s exactly what Emily Conner's daughter does. Conner — another POP organizer — said her daughter is excited every time they come to the market because she loves green beans and can buy them herself.

这正是艾米丽·康纳（Emily Conner）的女儿所做的。另一位流行组织者康纳（Conner）说，她的女儿每次进入市场时都会感到兴奋，因为她喜欢绿豆，可以自己买。

"She buys about a pound of green beans and they're gone by the time she gets home," Conners laughed.

康纳斯笑着说：“她买了大约一磅的绿豆，到家回家时就消失了。”

Around the farmers market on Thursday, about half the attendees were children and nearly all of them had a green reusable bag in their hand — some overflowed with kale, while others hid their secret vegetable treasure inside.

周四，在农贸市场周围，大约一半的与会者是孩子，几乎所有的人手里拿着一个可重复使用的袋子 - 有些人溢出了羽衣甘蓝，而另一些则藏着他们的秘密蔬菜宝藏。
