Kingfield Empty Bowls

emptybowls2

Annual February Event

Kingfield Empty Bowls is an event that brings the community together to share a meal of homemade soup and bread donated by local restaurants out of handmade bowls donated by local artists. At this event we accept a donation from all diners and all the proceeds from the event are given away to help an organization in our neighborhood. This event was created to support Nicollet Square, a housing option for formerly homeless youth that provides both efficiency apartments and optional onsite mental health care and emotional support. For a suggested donation, community members enjoy soup and bread from local restaurants and take the bowl home as a reminder of our many neighbors that are in need of food and shelter.

This fall, the Kingfield Farmers Market debuts the 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.
