Tacoma Farmers Market envisions: A Pierce County where farmland is actively preserved and where local farms grow and thrive That all residents, regardless of income, will have reliable access to fresh, healthy food, and celebrate its place in our community An affordable and accessible path to business ownership that reflects Pierce County’s rich diversity TFM operates four traditional farmers market and a county-wide mobile farmers market: Broadway Farmers Market Eastside Farmers Market MultiCare Farmers Market Point Ruston Farmers Market Fresh Express Mobile Farmers Market As leaders and participants in Tacoma’s food system and business community, we commit to investing in social and racial equity. We recognize that sustainable agriculture and small business ownership are historically connected to communities of color, migrants, and indigenous groups. Meaningful partnership with these communities is essential in the creation of equitable marketplaces. Our markets help achieve equity by confronting bias and discrimination, and prioritizing opportunities that promote justice and fairness for communities of color. The Tacoma Farmers Market recognizes that intolerance and discrimination are present in our social, political, and economic systems. This historic and ongoing bias leads to unequal access in areas such as food, housing, health, and education. Though we strive to challenge all oppressions, we believe that racial prejudice worsens injustice in our society and a focus on racism is an urgent need. We understand that injustice in our food system will continue to be reflected in our markets unless we and our partners confront historic inequality. We strive to create vibrant marketplaces that are inclusive of communities across Pierce County.
