Kingfield Farmers Market

Kingfield Farmers Market pairs a long-running nonprofit mission with a broad Sunday market mix of fruits and vegetables, prepared foods, coffee, handmade crafts, and more. Neighborhood Roots has operated as an independent nonprofit since 2008, and Kingfield is one of the Minneapolis markets it brings together under a mission to help neighbors buy, eat, and learn about local food while supporting local farmers and small businesses. In practice, that means a market where produce stands, ready-to-eat foods, and maker booths all share the same footprint rather than splitting into separate scenes.

Why it matters locally

Neighborhood Roots was created to bring neighbors together around local food, and Kingfield is part of that larger Minneapolis effort alongside the Fulton and Nokomis farmers markets. Its mission goes beyond weekly shopping: the organization says it supports local farmers and small businesses, promotes vibrant community, and works toward changes in food and agriculture policy. Kingfield also has roots in neighborhood organizing, having launched in cooperation with the Kingfield Neighborhood Association.

That local role shows up in the market’s continuity as well. Neighborhood Roots has kept Kingfield active as part of its nonprofit work since 2008, and the market has also been recognized with City Pages’ Best Farmers Market awards in 2011 and 2013.

What you'll find there

Kingfield’s vendor mix runs wide: farm produce, meats and fish, bakery stalls, ready-to-eat meals, pantry goods, and craft makers all appear in the roster. The strongest through-line is variety within a compact Sunday market, with many booths offering distinctive specialties rather than generic category fill.

The market also runs family programming through the Power of Produce Club on the first and third Sundays, where kids engage with local food and receive a $2 market token. Kids’ Planting and Art with the Power of Produce Club adds a booth where children decorate small pots and plant seeds to take home.

A clear thread at Kingfield is how the market turns food shopping into hands-on participation for kids. The Power of Produce Club meets on the first and third Sundays and gives children a way to engage with local food while receiving a $2 market token. That same family-facing approach shows up in the Kids’ Planting and Art activity, where children decorate small pots and plant seeds to take home at the North Star Art Club booth. Even the season opener extends that tone: the Planting Party was framed around local vendors, family-friendly activities, and support for the market’s growth through a new member program. Together, those details make Kingfield feel especially oriented toward learning by doing, not just browsing tables.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the rule most likely to change your plan before heading out. Kingfield runs Sundays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the outdoor season from May 18 through October, with about 40 vendors listed for the market. The market is at 4310 Nicollet Ave. S., and Neighborhood Roots also identifies Kingfield in the south parking lot of Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. If you need on-site facilities, note that restrooms are not available. Erica is the market manager.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Kingfield Farmers Market, an important option at a market built around local food access and small-business support. The market also notes clear payment methods for visitors, which helps when you’re shopping across produce, prepared food, and maker booths.
