Community Sap-Boiling / Maple Syrup Cook-off Party

Kingfield’s first communal sap-tap culminates with a community sap boiling party to make our own maple syrup!  You can be part of the slow-burning fun (yes, we expect it to take much of the day!)

7 neighbors partnered together to collect sap from their individual trees–resulting in almost 40 gallons, which we will boil down outside the park for all to see and taste!  Come on down and watch the sap boil! Or volunteer to take on a cooking shift: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0849a8a62ea1fe3-community

KFNA Board Meeting

Join the KFNA Board of Directors as they discuss matters of community interest.  April will bring the 5thPrecinct’s quarterly crime update at the beginning of the meeting.  After that will follow a Community Forum, which is a chance for anyone to bring their questions or concerns to the community volunteers who serve on the KFNA Board.

For time on the agenda or questions contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at .

Soup & Snow Emergency a.k.a. Empty Bowls 2.0 a.k.a. Why Fight It?

So…remember Kingfield Empty Bowls this year? Lots of snow, right? So much snow that some people couldn’t attend, right? So much snow that we had a bit of soup leftover, right? So let’s do the whole event AGAIN this weekend … and just to totally give into this whole winter-thing let’s do it OUTSIDE!

Facebook Event Page

Join us in Butter Bakery Cafe‘s Back 40 (aka the vacant lot behind Butter on 37th Street) where we’ll be heating up leftover soup and serving it for your sipping pleasure. Bring a pocketful of donations for Nicollet Square, of course, and some spare change in case you want to dip into Butter and warm up with a treat or some cocoa.

The entire Back Lot will be out playground for the afternoon to create a snow village in so wear your snowgear and dress the kids for some wet wintery fun! Thanks to Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative for providing us with the land to frolic on (as well as bringing Nicollet Square to our community.)

Communal Sap Tapping

Pick up your Sap Tapping Kit on: Saturday March 9, 9 AM-4 PM or Sunday March 10, noon-5 PM at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet!

Register here

Combine your efforts (and your sap!) with your neighbors and let’s make maple syrup! Registered participants will pick up a Tree Tapping Kit from the front desk of MLK Park on Saturday March 9 between 9 AM-4 PM or Sunday March 10, noon-5 PM and will agree to tap a tree on their personal property by 3/11/19 Monday evening (note, trees must be larger than 10 inches in diameter). The weather forecast looks perfect for the sap to start running within days.

When the run is done, sap can be dropped off at the park where it will be collected, cooled, and stored until Saturday April 13 when we will have an outdoor communal syrup making party; participants will be able to sign up for a shift of syrup making, and will get to take a jar of the local golden nectar home with them too! A program of the Kingfield Neighborhood Association and MLK Park.  As Helen Keller said “Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” 

Cost $20/ Comes with a kit. Kits includes spline(s), tubing, 5 gallon food grade collection bucket, and how-to instructions. Email with your tree’s diameter and species.

Cost $10/ Participant must provide your own kit.
