The Story Behind Farmacy

Real Food, No Weird Stuff

Our journey began twelve years ago when I met my wife in Georgetown, who introduced me to the art of French cooking. Before that, my shopping cart was filled with chicken, steak, and the occasional wheel of Gruyère. I thought I had it all figured out.

But her approach to food opened my eyes to a world beyond just what tasted good, what started as an appreciation for quality ingredients evolved into a much deeper curiosity about where our food comes from and how it impacts our health.

This curiosity about where our ingredients come from and how they impact our health led me down a path of discovery, including reading Dr. Michael Greger's landmark book "How Not to Die," which fundamentally changed my perspective on nutrition.

The Problem We Saw

Fast forward: We're parents now and it was very difficult to find snacks and meals that just made organic, whole foods. Even the so-called “healthy” stuff is still packed with salt, oil, sugar, or weird things like “natural flavor,” or "agave syrup" which—let’s be honest—usually means "we gave up and added junk."

Our Solution

So we made District Farmacy, and now make simple ingredient freeze dried snacks made of fruits and veggies that will put chips, skittles and starbursts to shame for both nutrition and taste wise! 

We only use 100% organic, whole food, plant-based ingredients, and when available because honestly it's tough, sourced from local farmers when available who still believe in dirt, seasons, and not spraying everything with science fiction.

Our snacks are free of Salt, Oil, Sugar, built on actual evidence—from folks like Dr. Goldhamer (TrueNorth Health Center) Dr. Mills (Plant Based Nation) Dr. Greger (NutritionFacts.org) Dr. Popper (Food over Medicine) Dr. McDougall (Starch Solution), Dr. Campbell (The China Study) Dr. Esselstyn (Prevent and Reverse Hearty Disease) Dr. Ornish (Undo it) and Dr. Barnard (PCRM)

We are certified Made in DC, and are committed to full ingredient transparency, sustainable practices, and making whole food plant-based eating accessible and delicious.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
