Our Mission: To build a healthy, equitable food system that creates better health outcomes and economic opportunities for marginalized communities in the DC metropolitan region.
Who We Are
Dreaming Out Loud is rebuilding urban, community-based food systems, helping to increase access to healthy food and improve community health. We are also developing low-income entrepreneurs and cooperatives, and training at-risk adult residents for sustainable, family-supporting wages since 2008. Unique in our integrated, community-driven approach, DOL moves beyond the ‘food access’ paradigm and focuses on community self-determination and food sovereignty.
What We Do
DOL Grocery is an online marketplace where customers across the DMV area can access fresh, locally sourced produce and various grocery items. Inside of our online marketplace we host our Black Farm CSA. Black Farm CSA stands for Black Farm Community Supported Agriculture. It is a subscription program where you can get deliveries of fresh, locally sourced produce and various pantry items from our network of value-aligned producers in the DMV area.
Why We Are Here
We launched our CSA to fight food insecurity in the DC metro region while also economically supporting the black and brown farmers in our area. We do this work to make sure families East of the River are able to order healthy groceries every week. Our goal is to make sure that everyone in our community is able to feed their family and nourish their body.

Storage Tips!
Does your food spoil easily?
Not sure how to keep your fresh produce longer?
Here are a few simple storage tips to help 👇🏾
🥬 Leafy greens: Store unwashed with a damp paper towel in the fridge
🌿 Herbs: Place stems in water, cover loosely, refrigerate
🥕 Root veggies: Keep in a cool, dark place or fridge crisper
🍅 Tomatoes: Store at room temp until ripe
🫐 Berries: Don’t wash until ready to eat
🧅 Onions & garlic: Store dry with good airflow
🍎 Apples: Refrigerate and keep separate from other produce
Pro tip: Wash produce only when you’re ready to use it to prevent spoilage.
“Ending food apartheid is a racial justice issue. It is a man-made phenomenon that is a function of overlapping systems of oppression — white supremacy, profit-over-people capitalism, racialized violence and discrimination, and the resultant racial wealth gap. An end means healed individuals, communities, as a part of holistic reparations. We are working to end food apartheid and close the racial wealth gap in our lifetime.”
