Street parking is available in the neighborhood, with a crosswalk at 64th and Portland.
Alternative transportation: Bike racks are available at the market, and 64th & Portland Ave is serviced by Metro Transit bus route #5.
VEAP PRODUCE PICKUP - (Summer Only)
We partner with VEAP to collect produce and other food goods from the market to stock VEAP's food pantry with fresh foods. To donate, look for the green tubs located near the entrances or at our information booth. Help make local produce & fresh food more accessible to everyone in our community.

OUR MISSION
Since 1990, Richfield Recreation has operated the Richfield Farmers Market to provide access to local, healthy, and affordable foods, and to offer a community gathering space to help connect residents, as well as local producers. The Richfield Farmers Market also emphasizes educational and recreational activities through our involvement with the Richfield Arts Commission, the U of M Master Gardener Program, and other programs and events.
POWER OF PRODUCE (POP) CLUB FOR KIDS!
Kids ages 4-12 receive $2 credit to pick out a fruit or veggie to try each week.
This year parents will help kids shop on our online farmers market, then parents will pick up the ordered produce at the market. Store credit is loaded each month, $2 for each child for every week that month. Right now we are asking families to send just 1 person per household to the market. Parents: stay tuned for fun & educational materials sent to your sign up email for your POP Club kids.
MUSICIANS
Note: Live music at the market has been suspended for 2020.
Would you like to perform at the Richfield Farmers Market? To sign up for a early or late morning slot at the market, visit our Farmers Market Musician Sign-Up website page. Musicians volunteer their time, but are allowed to put out a tip jar, and sell band merchandise while playing at the market.
COMMUNITY BOOTHS

Richfield-based community and non-profit groups, as well as city/state/county agencies, may apply to host a table at the Richfield Farmers Market for informational or educational purposes (no political campaign materials are allowed). We give preference to groups who relate to our mission of health and local food access.
Event Mission: Our event mission is to promote health, wellness, and support local farmers and food producers. Community groups and non-profits tabling at the farmers market and their materials should fit with the focus of our event mission.
