An online magazine from Whole Foods Market, Dark Rye brings together pioneers of unconventional ideas to explore the edges of the creative life. Here on the Dark Rye Tumblr, we’ll compile a mixtape of their secrets—a daily how-to and counter-convention dose of sass and entrepreneurialism for your own neighborhood.
We’ll offer perspective on our monthly themes as well as the pioneer’s blueprint: fresh insight and an idea-starter that makes every day feel like a sleeves-rolled-up Saturday morning in spring. Hang out here to stay revived between Dark Rye feasts.

See more of the new American gothic (the green kind) at Dark Rye’s Harpoon House feature. Clever and smiley, rooftops that grow, happy cats, and pleasant just-enoughness. Smart design and plenty of books. It’s the future.

No duties. I don’t have to be profound.
I don’t have to be artistically perfect.
Or sublime. Or edifying.
I just wander. I say: ‘You were running,
That’s fine. It was the thing to do.’
And now the music of the worlds transforms me.
We talk a little of district fairs,
Of travels in a covered wagon with a cloud of dust behind,
Of how rivers once were, what the scent of calamus is.
That’s better than examining one’s private dreams.
And meanwhile it has arrived. It’s here, invisible.
Who can guess how it got here, everywhere.
Let others take care of it. Time for me to play hooky.
Buena notte. Ciao. Farewell.
With a nod to the illustrator, DARK RYE’s own Sydney Smith. Just a little draw-play from a few years back while he was waiting for a bus or making a grocery list or something.
Join us as we meet the people, outlooks, ideas, and trends shaping tomorrow. From architecture and urban farming to the how and the how-to-improve of energy and transportation, we bring you the good-guy rebels. Come on over. Take a peek into Dark Rye’s THE FUTURE.

“Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
Illustrated Thoughts VIII; The Space for Silence
Sometimes it seems there’s just a little too much ‘stuff’ in the world – too much blather and bustle and boisterous opinion – that collectively make themselves a lot less valuable by their abundance.
Worthwhile things usually come from quiet places.

Ever look at a vegetable and think it’s prettier than the prettiest flower? ‘Cause tasty makes it so.

Favourite beloved partnerships of DARK RYE. Match ‘em up.
