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.
