Sourcing and food philosophy Farmer's Fridge aims to: - Use high-quality, real, whole ingredients. - Work with partners that share strong commitments to taste, food safety and ethical treatment of employees and the environment. - Incorporate fruits and vegetables at the centre of the plate to reduce environmental impact and support better health outcomes. - Maintain a menu with at least 50% vegetarian options.

Kitchen operations - All items are made in Farmer's Fridge's kitchen facility before being delivered to Fridges and retail partners. - The kitchen also handles common allergens (such as peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk, eggs, soy, fish, shellfish and sesame), so cross-contact is possible. Customers with specific dietary or allergen concerns should review the ingredient and allergen information for each item in the app or on the Fridge screen and use their own judgment when deciding what is suitable for them.
