The POP Club offers a chance for children to explore the Moscow Farmers Market and learn about the different varieties of fruits and vegetables, while also learning about how food is grown, by connecting them with local farmers.
A parent or guardian must attend POP Club events with their child.
POP Club is brought to you by the City of Moscow, the Moscow Farmers Market, Backyard Harvest, Eat Smart Idaho, and the Moscow Food Co-op. The POP Club program is offered through the Farmers Market Coalition, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening farmers markets across the United States so that they can serve as community assets while providing real income opportunities for farmers.

Summer of Science. The University of Idaho College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) brings the Summer of Science to the Market this season and offers unique agricultural science activities for children ages 5 to 11. CALS faculty experts and students introduce participants to topics like entomology, animal science, plant science, nutrition, and food science. Children can collect different items at each event to build their own science kit. Participants receive a passport on their first visit, and those who attend at least five events are entered into a drawing for prizes.
The Moscow Farmers Market loves all furry companions. For health and safety reasons, we ask that non-ADA service animals limit their visit to the Market and if need be may utilize the pup-friendly paths on the sidewalks adjacent to Main Street and Fifth Street.
The Moscow Farmers Market is a nicotine free event. Please plan your visit accordingly.
