Farmer's Fridge runs a network of smart fridges that offer fresh, healthy meals and snacks for busy, health-conscious people in high-traffic places like offices, hospitals, and airports. It prepares and packages food in a central kitchen and ships it to its fridges, where customers pay with a credit card to purchase items directly from the unit. The business model is direct-to-consumer through automated retail, with revenue coming from the markup on food sold in the fridges. What makes it different is the combination of on-site automated retail with freshly prepared, centrally produced meals and a focus on corporate wellness and convenient grab-and-go options rather than traditional vending or full-service delivery. The company's goal is to provide convenient access to fresh, healthy meals in convenient locations, supporting healthier choices for busy individuals.
