Farm2Shelf

Farm2Shelf is a mobile + web app that gives shoppers a realistic freshness score for produce at specific stores, based on delivery/receiving patterns and crowdsourced observations. Users scan a simple shelf QR (or select store + item) to see: typical delivery day, average shelf life remaining, and recent reports like “berries moldy in 2 days” or “avocados rock-hard all week.” It also suggests smarter swaps (e.g., choose smaller strawberries this week, or buy frozen) and the best day/time to shop for each item at that location. This is not a magical “AI can see inside the fruit” app; it’s a practical data product that turns store-level patterns into better buying decisions. Revenue comes from a low-cost subscription for power shoppers and optional retailer dashboards for shrink reduction.
