The IRC in Seattle is proud to join Food Innovation Network in launching Namaste Farm Stand for the season!
From June 19 - October 17 purchase high-quality, low-cost produce locally grown by refugee and immigrant gardeners. Namaste Farm Stand accepts SNAP benefits, which are matched with Fresh Bucks. That means your food benefits go twice as far when shopping at the farm stand.
Find Namaste Farm Stand:
Wednesdays 4-7pm @ Tukwila Village Farmers Market
Thursdays 4-7pm @ Matt Griffin YMCA
Non-YMCA members are welcome
Namaste Farm Stand is supported by the IRC in Seattle's New Roots program, which promotes food access and community wellness in King County’s refugee and immigrant communities. New Roots helps individuals and families adjust to their new home through gardening, nutrition education, orientation to U.S. food systems, and youth leadership activities. Our programs also foster emotional well-being and social connections for people experiencing isolation or other challenges associated with moving to a new country.
