Thank you to everyone who attend and helped clean up Kingfield. We counted over 120 volunteers who came to MLK Park to help out on April 19. That’s A LOT of trash and recycling we were able to collect. Thank you to the City of Minneapolis for doing extra pickups, and our friends at Spirit Garage for hosting a BBQ for our generous volunteers.
We hope to make neighborhood cleanups happen more frequently. Please reach out to if you are interested in organizing or participating.

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.
