One network. Many impacts. Generations of wealth.
Black Dollarz links growers, food hubs, processors, our local food marketplace and the families, restaurants, schools and community programs that eat every day. Profits cycle back into the farms and neighborhoods that built it.
From communities with limited access to fresh food to neighborhoods with thriving farmers markets and farm-share programs, Black Dollarz is building connections between growers, families and local food businesses.
A food hub collects and moves food from several nearby farms. A CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture program, lets a family buy a share of a farm's season and receive food as it is harvested — often called a farm share. Black Dollarz connects those pieces into one local food network so a sustainable local food system can take hold market by market. Meet the farmers, find fresh local food or see how it works and what it costs.

Early network development
Black Dollarz Farm to Table is currently building its founding network and identifying communities where farmer supply, consumer demand and local distribution capacity can come together. We are not presenting ourselves as a mature national marketplace. We are building the network required to become one.
Built on transparency
Real people
We are building with farmers, families and businesses — not fictional personas.
Real data
Network numbers shown on Black Dollarz come from actual registrations and activity in this network.
Producer transparency
Farm and food-production information will identify whether information is producer-provided or independently verified.
Privacy
Private contact information is not displayed publicly.
Before you join
How much does it cost to join?
Network registration is free. Farmers pay 8% on completed farmer marketplace sales, with no monthly subscription by default.
What does farmer verification involve?
The verification process is still being finalized. Until it is complete, farm practices and other claims are labeled as producer-provided information rather than independently verified.
How will pickup and delivery work?
Pickup and delivery will be organized market by market with local hubs and delivery partners. Service areas, schedules and charges are not being promised before they are confirmed.
Does Black Dollarz accept SNAP or EBT?
SNAP and EBT support is still being evaluated and is not available as a promised payment option today.
Can businesses and institutions place recurring or high-volume orders?
Businesses and institutions can register their interest now. Recurring orders, volume, fulfillment and pricing will be arranged for each active local market.
Which cities will launch first?
No first cities or launch dates have been announced. Black Dollarz is using real farmer, shopper and distribution interest to identify markets ready for the next stage.
