Our Story
Fresh City is an award-winning urban farm and omni-channel retailer. Founder-led, we’re on a mission to provide a better life through food.

In 2022, subscription-based organic produce and grocery delivery company Mama Earth Organics was added to the Fresh City family, bringing farmers, makers and eaters together to deliver a food experience that respects our bodies, our planet, and our share tomorrow.
