At Fresh Direct, we are reinventing the grocery experience. Since day one, our mission has been simple: bring the best, freshest food directly from the farm to people’s homes – faster, fresher, and smarter than anyone else.

We are not just a food company – we are a technology‑powered, customer‑obsessed team building the most innovative end‑to‑end food supply chain in the industry. From proprietary routing systems to our state‑of‑the‑art fulfillment center, every part of our business is designed to deliver unmatched quality, convenience, and care.

We partner directly with farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source the highest‑quality ingredients, then use smart data, automation, and logistics to get them to our customers’ doors at peak freshness. It’s grocery shopping reimagined – and we’re just getting started.
