Here in Cincinnati, 33% of families experience food insecurity -- and in neighborhoods not served by a grocery store, that number is even higher. There can be many barriers to healthy food, but a ZIP code should not be one of them. Food Forest was founded on the belief that fresh food is for everyone, regardless of address or income. We are working to close the gap on food insecurity through the power of technology. 

Community is at the heart of what we do. As you shop on our app for pantry staples and favorite name brands, you’ll also find products from more than 30 local businesses. By giving small businesses new opportunities to reach new customers, we’re strengthening local food systems with every order. We believe there is a better way to do online grocery shopping: one that works for everyone.

40% of food goes to waste while 1 in 5 people in the U.S. struggle with hunger. Food Forest is pioneering in the slow food movement. Not only does our next day service allow us to be more inclusive of small businesses, it is the framework for a more energy-efficient supply chain. A food supply chain with less waste and more value for the people that are willing to plan ahead.
