Founded with the mission of connecting consumers directly to the farmers who grow their food, FreshFix is transforming the way we shop, eat, and support local agriculture. Imagine a world where the food on your plate has a story to tell. A story of a local farmer, their passion for sustainable agriculture, and the journey their produce took to reach your doorstep. FreshFix is making that world a reality.
FreshFix operates on a simple yet effective model. With over 80 different local farmer and producer partners, FreshFix curates a weekly selection of fresh, seasonal produce, and artisan items for their customers. Customers are able to customize their orders using the FreshFix webstore. These items are then delivered directly to customers’ homes, eliminating the need for unnecessary food miles and preserving the freshness and quality of the products.
At the heart of FreshFix is a commitment to sustainability. The company carefully selects farmers who prioritize organic practices, soil health, and ethical farming methods. By supporting these farmers, FreshFix contributes to a more resilient and sustainable food system.
One of the most inspiring aspects of FreshFix is the opportunity to connect with the farmers who grow your food. “The food you buy in grocery stores travels an average of 1500 miles before it reaches your kitchen” says Joshua Bowen, Co-Founder of FreshFix.
We source most of our food no further than 150 miles from Buffalo. What’s pretty cool is that it hasn’t limited us in what we can offer our community. We have partnerships with some pretty amazing farmers doing innovative farming techniques to extend the growing season. Wintertime is now a season where our customers can continue to receive a wide variety of local food.
