Farmer’s Fridge makes fruits and vegetables accessible and approachable for everyone. We offer a variety of fresh, healthy, ready-to-eat meals and snacks through our fresh food vending machines, wholesale partners, and our office pantry solution — providing chef-curated meals to customers within seconds. Today, we operate a network of Fridges and partner with clients nationwide in high-foot-traffic areas, such as airports, hospitals, universities, and large office buildings — where there is limited accessibility to fresh, healthy, grab-n-go options.

We care deeply about what we’re creating and aspire to make sure our customers feel that through every touchpoint. This shows up in many ways across the business. We are committed to prioritizing food safety, we are passionate about product quality, we value our employees, we champion the best idea no matter where it comes from, and we’re committed to making an overall positive impact as we scale.

  • Documentation and Process Improvement:
    • Document processes (new and existing) at the inception of a project, as well as learnings & future improvements in project post-mortems
    • Identify opportunities for general sales-related process improvements (not pertaining to specific projects) and contribute to the implementation of enhancements (i.e., monthly sales/commissions reporting)
  • External Communication and Coordination:
    • Act as a point of contact for external parties (i.e., clients) when needed, communicate asks/impacts from and to them resulting from certain internal projects 
    • Gather and document any client feedback that highlights weaknesses in current processes and informs future process improvements
