Farmy’s competitive edge is changing online grocery shopping using technology to connect to our food
Triodos Organic Growth Fund has recently taken an equity stake in Swiss company Farmy, an online market for transparent and sustainable shopping directly from the producer. Founded in 2014, Farmy has grown into a very impressive company with the strong sustainability impact. The company offers over 12,500 hand-picked products from more than 1,000 authentic producers, ranging from a wide variety of fruits and vegetables - mainly organic – meat, dairy, and bread and confectionery.
Farmy is an excellent match with Triodos Organic Growth Fund’s vision on food and agriculture. The company strongly contributes to the fund’s three core impact areas:
- Balanced ecosystems by offering local and mostly organic products coming directly from the farm. Supply is tailored to demand, which results in no food waste.
- Inclusive prosperity by working directly with farmers, offering them an additional revenue stream and higher margins.
- A healthy society by offering fresh food by same day delivery as ‘harvesting’.
Read our interview with the two founders of Farmy and learn more about their business model and their growth ambitions.
