Growing Something Bigger Together in Webster City

Growing Something Bigger Together in Webster City 🌽

The Youth Produce Project is back for 2026—and it’s growing in a big way!

Thanks to the incredible support of Farm Credit Services of America and the Iowa Farm Bureau, we are excited to announce that this year we are able to DOUBLE our impact. That means more youth participants, more connection to local agriculture, and more fresh, healthy food reaching families right here in Webster City.

This program continues to be one of the most meaningful parts of Market Nights—bringing together education, hands-on learning, and local food access in a way that truly strengthens our community.

🌱 What is the Youth Produce Project?

The Youth Produce Project is designed to help young people experience agriculture in a fun, interactive way while supporting local growers and producers.

Each week, participating youth will:

• 🍅 Receive $5 in Produce Bucks

• 🥕 Take part in a hands-on agricultural activity

• 🛍️ Shop for fresh, locally grown produce at Market Nights

📍 Youth participants can find us near the Chamber office during Market Nights.

🗓️ Program Details

• When: Thursdays | June 4 – August 27

• Time: 5:30–7:30 PM

• Where: Downtown Webster City (near the Chamber office)

• 🚫 No Market Night July 23 (Hamilton County Fair Week)

💚 More Than a Program

The Youth Produce Project is about more than just produce. It’s about:

• Helping kids understand where their food comes from

• Supporting local farmers and growers

• Encouraging healthy eating habits

• Building stronger connections between youth and agriculture

• Investing in the future of Webster City

Every week, kids leave with fresh food in hand and a better understanding of the people and hard work behind it.
