Market Quest is a service delivered through on an online platform where kids own their very own stall at a virtual farmers' market. Through the app, they can manage their stalls within a virtual community. Market Quest also partners with local markets to exchange data for mutual benefit.
Farmers' markets offer an exceptional way to buy fresh produce directly from local farmers, growers, and producers. They are a perfect venue to teach children about the food they eat, how to make healthy eating choices, and how to shop locally and for themselves. However, markets mainly cater to adults and kids are often disinterested. Market Quest addresses this with an engaging platform that can bring children to the market so that, they too, can reap the benefits.
