The American food industry is under siege, and has been for decades. Farms and restaurants are going out business at an alarming rate, with little relief in sight. Among all of the various problems and alarming stats you'll find when diving deeper into our "food problem," here's the one that bothered us the most: ONE THIRD of all food that's grown is THROWN OUT (approximately 70,000,000,000 pounds per year). America's massive food waste problem is impossibly complex, and we knew that one startup in Brooklyn couldn't solve the entire issue... So, we decided to hone-in on one very specific area that we absolutely can address, and that's farm-side food waste stemming from inadequate inventory management and communication systems. We've built Bon Harvest to be an intentionally simple, real-time inventory management platform that enables farmers to better track, price, and directly communicate produce availability to chefs...from the tractor, barn, or field, directly to chefs in the kitchen. By increasing transparency and streamlining communications with regards to produce inventory, our software saves farmers and chefs time and money...no more time in the office spent updating Excel spreadsheets, writing inventory update emails, and no more games of "phone tag" between farmers and chefs. With Bon Harvest, farmers and chefs can spend more time doing what they love, and less time doing what they hate. Farmers Farm. Chefs Cook. Bon Harvest Informs.
