We are enabling a
massive paradigm shift

About-Us-Michael-Candid.png

We all know we need to eat more fresh food. The problem is, the existing food system is built mainly for ultra-processed foods, lacking the systems, services and infrastructure to support fresh food at scale. This is where FreshRealm comes in. We fill that gap.
