We do this in these four ways:
Delivering fresh, organically grown fruits and snacks directly to break rooms – a simple workplace wellness program every business should consider. Since employees spend most of their waking hours at work, making fresh food easily accessible ensures employees are healthier overall. Replacing fatty and sweet treats with fresh fruit and vegetables helps to reduce obesity and the occurrence other long-term health issues.
Large seasonal fruit box – summer 2016
Through access to an online farmers market – www.DailyHarvestExpress.com – where employees can conveniently shop for fresh, local produce and artisan foods from their desktop and have it delivered to their home or workplace.
Regular veggie box – fall 2016
A mobile farm truck for companies with 150 plus employees – a health event that brings a farmers market straight to the workplace.
We started a pilot program of the “farm stand at work” in 2014 for County of San Diego employees. The mobile farm stand quickly expanded from one location to several. Now we serve numerous County employee locations and also many local companies who recognize that the farm stand contributes directly to the health and moral of their employees.

Showing people simple ways to prepare fresh ingredients – Because education is an important part of any program to help people live healthier lifestyles, we provide education and incentive programs to the businesses we serve through healthy cooking classes by local chefs and nutritionists. Companies pay for these programs with Wellness Dollars from their health insurance companies because it directly benefits employees’ health.
