Garden Tool Swap 2025 Recap

May 23, 2025 By Josh Martin

Each May KFNA hosts a garden tool swap in MLK Park with the help of the City of Minneapolis.
The event was on May 10 this year (2025) and took in over 1,000 items. Nearly all were taken by another member of the community and kept out of the garbage. Way to reuse and be eco-conscious Kingfield!
We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!

Kingfield Garden Tool Swap

April 29, 2024 By Josh Martin

Attention, Kingfield Gardeners!
From Seasoned Growers to novice Seed-Sowers, all were welcome at the 5th annual Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap!
Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling and community partners once again offered this free event on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at seven parks citywide. The Kingfield swap takes place at MLK Park each year.
As you start Spring cleaning, hang on to those unused/unneeded garden tools, planters, garden décor, books, seeds, and more, and share them with neighbors at the swap. You do not need to bring items to participate. All items donated at the swap are free for any participant to take home. For more event details, visit the City’s Garden Tool Swap webpage: MPLS Garden Tool Swap
In 2023, over 1,600 items were dropped off and more than 70% of items were taken by the end of the three hour event. Let’s make each year bigger and better. Let us know you’re coming and invite your friends and loved ones to join. Please come to mingle with your fellow neighbors while you purge your unneeded garden tools and find just the right thing you need to finish up that new garden bed project!

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.
