Empty Bowls 2024 Planning Kicks Off

September 12, 2023 By Josh Martin

The 13th Annual Kingfield Empty Bowls event will take place on “Soup-er Bowl” Sunday, February 11, 2024. Once again, we welcome our community to come together to fight hunger and homelessness in our area while sharing a delicious meal and lively conversation.

  • We look forward to working again with our restaurant community who have been very generous in their support donating soup, bread, dessert and coffee. 
  • On the bowls side of the equation:  We NEED bowls. We are seeking potters, connections to potters, and educators at a school with pottery students, or even poetry collectors.

The first planning meeting for the 2024 event is Wednesday, October 4, at 6:30 PM at Judson Memorial Baptist church  (41st and Harriet Ave. S.). If you want to donate or participate, simply reach out to me at . 

–Lori Olson, Kingfield Empty Bowls Chair

Unveiling the Power of Produce (PoP) Program at the Kingfield Farmers Market

August 31, 2023 By Josh Martin

This fall, the Kingfield Farmers Market debuts their newest venture, the Power of Produce (PoP) Club, funded by the Kingfield Neighborhood Association. This dynamic pilot program aims to engage and inspire children aged 4–12, opening up a world of food exploration and promoting healthier eating habits.

PoP Club participants receive a weekly $2 token to use on an array of fresh fruits, vegetables, and even food-producing plants. By placing the purchasing power in their hands, the program encourages wise food choices while fostering a deeper connection between our community and the local food system. Alongside the token-based system, the Market is crafting an engaging lineup of activities that include food tastings, kids’ activities and a farmers market scavenger hunt!

Join us September 17 at the Kingfield Farmers Market, as we celebrate the launch of the PoP Club with a special POP-off event sponsored by the Lyndale Neighborhood Association intended to highlight local businesses in our area. Together, we’ll cultivate a healthier future for our children, our community, and our local farmers.
