How it works.
A Fresher Place is a web-based app facilitating decentralized ownership of food.
One pickup, many hands
Families connect to the village through A Fresher Place. Tap a partner to see how it works, or how to become one.
Who is in your neighborhood's food system
A Fresher Place sits at the center. Families reach farms, chefs, hosts, stewards, nonprofits and institutions through it. Tap any one to see what it does.
Each of these is also a way to join. If you grow, cook, host, organize, or fund, there is a seat for you.
Become a partnerWe are the software front door, not the food.
A Fresher Place holds no inventory, runs no trucks, and takes no cut of the food dollar. We are the software layer that lets a local farm reach your block in one run, and lets a place you already trust hand the food over. The farm is paid directly, through its own payment account.
- Hold inventory or run trucks
- Take a cut of the food dollar
- Charge families to join
- Help a family find the crops they actually cook with
- Let one farm run reach a whole block
- Give a site the record a funder will ask for
A Fresher Place charges no commission and takes no cut of the food dollar. Standard payment-processing fees set by the processor, for example Stripe or Square, still apply.
