With a growing presence across the country and new expansion into the Lehigh Valley, Farmer’s Fridge brings fresh grab-and-go meals to everyday locations, including workplaces, hospitals and public transit.
(June 24, 2026) – As consumers navigate rising food costs, busy schedules and limited meal options during workdays and commutes, one of the fastest-growing food companies in the U.S. is expanding access to fresh, convenient meals across Eastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley. Providing healthier meals on the go, Farmer’s Fridge has more than 2,200 smart Fridges and more than 1,500 additional retail doors across the country.
Through its network of vending-machine-style smart Fridges, Farmer’s Fridge provides fresh salads, protein wraps, breakfast puddings and wholesome snacks in high-traffic locations like hospitals, airports and public transportation stations. In Eastern Pennsylvania, Farmer’s Fridge has locations across Philadelphia and is now entering the Lehigh Valley market.
“Access to fresh food should fit into the way people actually live, work, and move through their days,” said Luke Saunders, founder and CEO of Farmer’s Fridge. “Whether someone is working a long shift, commuting through the city, or looking for a quick meal between meetings, Farmer’s Fridge is designed to make fresh, healthy food as accessible as a candy bar.”
Providing healthy meals for more than a decade, Farmer’s Fridge has been recognized for its innovation and impact, including a recent inclusion in Time Magazine’s 10 Most Influential Food and Drink Companies and People Magazine Food Award honor. Since its launch, Farmer’s Fridge has sold more than 31 million meals and continues to transform the grab-and-go industry. In 2025, the company added 800 new Fridges across community spaces such as airports, hospitals and college campuses. In 2026, Farmer’s Fridge plans to expand its footprint by adding more than 1,000 additional Fridges. As the company grows throughout Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley has become a key market, reflecting strong demand for fresh meals in workplaces, health care settings, campuses and other high-traffic locations.
Consumer demand for accessible, healthy food has never been more important. An April report from the USDA Economic Research Service found that national food prices have increased by 3.2% since the previous year, prompting consumers to pay closer attention to where they can find meals that are fresh, convenient and accessible. Despite rising food and operating costs, Farmer’s Fridge keeps most of its menu items under $12 and remains committed to its mission of providing accessible, healthful food.
“As we continue expanding throughout Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley is a promising new market for Farmer’s Fridge,” said Saunders. “We welcome every opportunity to share our food with communities seeking fresh, nutritious and affordable options.”
