The DREAM Black Food Fund Virtual Awards Ceremony

The DREAM Black Food Fund Virtual Awards Ceremony is tomorrow! There is still time to register using the link in our bio.Tomorrow's program is all about recognizing and celebrating our partners and the tireless work they do. Our farmers who help grow futures. Our social justice organizations who serve hope to the community.

Among those grant awardees is the DC Fridge Collective (@dcfridgecollective ) who started their work at the beginning of the pandemic with the courageous idea that unfettered access to fresh healthy food is a human right. Their work shows us a future where this is not a privilege, but a possibility.

Their mission goes toe-to-toe against the inequality highlighted by the COVID19 pandemic and a policy landscape weaponized against DC's most vulnerable communities. Through those, the DC Fridge Collective continues to push forward. The organization has used their grant award to fund transition to an indoor fridge model, in order to protect the food and equipment from the weather and saboteurs.

Join us tomorrow, Thursday, February 17th, @11:30AM to say thank you to them, and our other grantees.Register at the link in the bio.

The DREAM Black Food Fund grants have had a real a

The DREAM Black Food Fund grants have had a real and lasting impact on our awardees.

Kelton Moore, of Washington, North Carolina was able to use the funds from the DBFF grant to build a cold storage unit. The spacious unit is also equipped with an industrial capacity ice maker. With this new facility and ice maker, Mr. Moore can keep his produce fresh for longer, which means he is more able to deliver high quality produce to more customers.

Mr. Moore came to us because he had crops in the ground but had lost a lot of his buyers due to the #COVID19 pandemic shutdowns. Mr. Moore also started a Black farmer cooperative called Down East Fresh Cooperative where he aggregates the produce from several farmers in his county to provide our community with culturally-appropriate, year-round, high quality produce. He was doing so without adequate cold storage or labor to help pick his crops.

The Dream Black Food Fund stepped into help and got Mr. Moore This winter, we [Operations Director Zachari and Alex, DOL Tech Support] had the chance to visit Mr. Moore and see the cooler he built with grant funds from Dreaming Out Loud and supporters at RAFI (@rafiusa ).

The Dream Black Food Fund exists because there are major disparities in our food system keeping farmers from feeding their communities. We understand that we shouldn't have to do it--we have had more than enough time to fix the historic inequalities that haunt our economic and food systems. Join us THRUSDAY at the Dream Black Food Fund Awards and hear us talk about the way forward.

Meet our guest speaker for the DREAM Black Food Fu

Meet our guest speaker for the DREAM Black Food Fund Award Ceremony: Herbert Brown Jr.

Herbert Brown Jr. runs Browntown farms with his father, Herbert Brown Sr. Browntown Farms has been in the Brown family since 1908, when it was purchased by Herbert's great-great-grandfather. The farm grew tobacco until the early ‘90s, when the family stopped farming due to the decline of tobacco. When Herbert's dad "retired," he decided to dedicate himself to bringing the farm back to life—no leisurely retirement, for sure, but one driven by the desire to see the family farm thrive. Herbert shared his father's vision and went off to college to study agricultural business in 2006, the same year that his dad started rehabbing the farm. Today, Herb Brown Jr. and Sr. have now revamped the farm and plan to be more innovative than ever before.

Join us Thursday, February 17th, 11:30AM - 12:30PM for a program to celebrate @browntownfarms, and all the farmers of the DREAM Black Food Fund.

Our Executive Director, Chris Bradshaw (@abronsgrandson
)will be a Keynote Speaker this Friday, February 11th at the University of the District of Columbia 3rd Annual Faculty Senate Research Conference.

This year's theme is: The Impact of Technology on Equity and Inclusion in a Covid World:
Challenges in Education and Employment

Chris will talk about the disequal nature of access to tech in the food system. Among our farmers, some lack broadband internet so it's hard to get in touch with them. Other farmers lack basic utilities like irrigation, compromising their economic viability.

As a food hub, we have had to build tech solutions from scratch including our wholesale ordering and inventory systems which required us to have support from allies with more access.

Chris will also discuss what policies are needed to ensure access to technology is fair while providing protection from tech encroaching on privacy and liberty.

Reposted from @soulfirefarm Happy Black History mo

Reposted from @soulfirefarm Happy Black History month everyone. Of course, we celebrate black history all day every day, but this month gives us an opportunity to focus on our Black Ancestor's contributions to US history more intentionally.

In celebration we want to share the successes of one of our dear ancestors, George Washington Carver.

George Washington Carver (b. ~1864) was a pioneer in regenerative agriculture, one of the first agricultural scientists in the United States to advocate for the use of leguminous cover crops, nutrient-rich mulching, and diversified horticulture. Carver was dedicated to the regeneration of depleted southern soils and turned to legumes, such as cowpeas and peanuts, as a means to fix nitrogen and replenish the soil. He believed that the cowpea, a crop indigenous to Africa, was indispensable in a crop rotation, noting that a soil’s “deficiency in nitrogen can be made up almost wholly by keeping the legumes, or pod bearing plants, growing on the soil as much as possible.”

In addition to promoting cover cropping, Carver experimented with and advocated for compost manuring to address the deficiencies of the Cotton Belt soils. In 1902 he spoke at the annual convention of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations about his use of swamp muck, forest leaves, and pine straw to fortify soils. He believed that the forest was a “natural fertilizer factory” containing trees, grasses, and debris that produced “countless tons of the finest kind of manure, rich in potash, phosphates, nitrogen, and humus.” Carver sought to persuade farmers to dedicate their autumn and winter to the collection of organic matter. He advised farmers to dedicate every spare moment to raking leaves, gathering rich earth from the woods, piling up muck from swamps, and hauling it to the land to be plowed under.

Thank you Mr. Carver for sharing your agricultural brilliance with us. We will continue to live out your legacy, utilizing these practices to build an agricultural system that's regenerative and sustainable.

This is the DREAM Black Food Fund in ACTION!
With grant funds, Gale (@farmergale) at Deep Roots Farm (@deeprootsfarm) was able to install a well that will supply the farm with the water she needs to irrigate her crops.

If you took the time to visit any of our Black Farm CSA and Markets this past season, you've more than likely had the privilege of enjoying some of their holistic organic produce. Gale's zucchini were without a doubt the top crowd pleaser of the summer!

This is just one example of the real impact the #DBFF has made this year alone. Register for our awards ceremony and help us celebrate this, and our many other wins with our farmers.
