Global to Local’s Food Innovation Network and IRC’s New Roots program joined forces to bring fresh, cultural produce to a low-food access neighborhood where the produce is grown by and for immigrant communities. The Tukwila Village Farmers Market’s origin dates back to 2018 when it was operating as a single farm stand – the Namaste Farm Stand, named after IRC’s Namaste Community Garden based in Tukwila. As New Roots gained access to farmland in Kent in 2021, existing and new growers gained opportunity to increase their production, in turn growing the number of beginning farmers participating at the market. In 2025, IRC New Roots took on sole management of the market after Global 2 Local closed its doors. The Tukwila Village Farmers Market prioritizes food access for SNAP users and encourages its vendors to offer SNAP-eligible products.
