Power of Pop Kicked Off at the Kingfield Farmers Market

September 18, 2023 By Josh Martin

Over 70 kids, ages 4-12. took advantage of the new Power of Produce (PoP) Club, funded by the Kingfield Neighborhood Association this past Sunday. This dynamic pilot program aims to engage and inspire children, 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 24th at the Kingfield Farmers Market for another PoP market! Together, we’ll cultivate a healthier future for our children, our community, and our local farmers.

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

Kingfield PorchFest: A Single Night of Music, Performed on Various Stages throughout the Neighborhood

March 21, 2023 By Josh Martin

For anyone new to the neighborhood or has been asleep the past nine years and is wondering, “What the heck is PorchFest?” PorchFest is an evening of community all wrapped up in the sounds of summer. On this single summer evening, Kingfield musicians will perform acoustic music outdoors at their respective homes, or at neighbor’s porch or yard, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds. This event regularly features over 50 musical performances dozens of Kingfield stages.

As usual, PorchFest relies on the good will and donated time of musicians, amateur and professional, and host-porches. If you are willing to perform music, provide a porch, or both, register at https://bit.ly/Porchfest2023. Registering is vital to being part of Kingfield PorchFest as it helps us pair musicians with porches, make sure the music from each group does not overlap, and promote the event. Preferred registration is May 1st. Registering is NOT a confirmation of participating.

Based upon feedback from hosts, musicians, and participants last year, we are 1) looking for a variety of musical genres; 2) limiting the number of sites; and 3) looking for volunteers to help with planning and to volunteer during the event itself. We will have two or three planning meetings in May and the June 15th event. Please contact KFNA at if you want to be part of the PorchFest Planning Team.
