Red Stick Sprouts is a youth program for children ages 2-12 that provides valuable food education. The program connects program participants to local farmers and agriculture and educates them about where their food comes from through fun food-related activities at the market.

Kids receive a market tote bag and $2 in market tokens to spend with local farmers. Each time they visit the Market, they receive a kid-friendly recipe and an additional $2 in market tokens. To date, over 2,900 kids have joined the Sprouts program and have been empowered to make their own healthy food choices.

Program is sponsored by the Baton Rouge Epicurean Society in honor of Abby Hamilton.
