Time: FarmboxRx Named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies

Sometimes the most powerful ideas are the simplest. Fourteen years ago, Ashley Tyrner was pregnant and living off food stamps in a food desert in Arizona, a half hour drive from the nearest grocery store—and she didn’t have a car. That experience inspired her to start a fresh food delivery service, on a subscription model, targeting food deserts. But the boxes remained unaffordable for some, so in 2019, Tyrner launched FarmboxRx after working with Medicaid and Medicare (and commercial plans in 2025) to get the groceries covered.
