We proudly feature and support over 500 brands from across the country – with a focus on women-owned, minority-owned and socially-responsible businesses.

We aim to be the easiest way for you to discover and learn about new products and brands, engage with vendors that align with your needs and values, and make shopping with your conscience a social affair. HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL FIND On Feed, you can shop for everything in one place – seasonal organic produce, meat & seafood, dairy, quick meals, desserts, beverages, kitchen and home goods, gifts, pet items, fresh flowers, and pantry staples.

Hi Product Hunt I'm Jeremy! I'm so excited to share Feed with you. If someone made an app just for me, this would be it. I’m a bleeding edge early tech adopter and self-anointed gastronome. If I can download a beta version, I’ll do it. If I can get in on a presale of a hot new snack, I’ll be at the front of the line. ‘ ‘ Even though I am nominally the lawyer on the team, my passion for this area has allowed me to take on a much larger role and I have been able to help shape this app and community into a positive place for everyone. Social media has long been a place where people connect over food, find recipes and inspiration, and post about great meals they cooked or experienced. According to a recent survey conducted by OnePoll of 2,000 Americans who use social media: - Three in four say they experience FOODMO – the fear of missing out on new food trends. - 77% felt food-related FOMO and 75% said they instantly crave food when they see it online. - 57% have attempted to make recipes they found online, and on average make four online recipes per month. - 54% percent had their last social media-inspired meal within two weeks previous to taking the survey. - Social media plays a significant role in the recipes people are drawn to make – on average, people feel the need to post their meal on social 6 times a month. - The average respondent spends four hours of their day on social media; food content comes across their social at least seven times throughout the day. - The average respondent follows at least 10 food-related accounts on social media. But social media has become increasingly negative since 2013 and as BBC stated, “our feeds often resemble an endless stream of stress.” We saw this as an opportunity to bring social media back to its roots, as a place for friends to congregate, share, and celebrate! We built Feed to create a dedicated and uplifting community for shoppers, cooks, producers, creators, and small independent brands to find each other, connect over food, and feel good during the process. The feedback from our app’s users has been overwhelmingly positive, from the social feed and shopping experience to the hard-to-find products customers get delivered to their door. Here’s what people are saying: ⭐ “Etsy for Foodies. I love exploring Feed app for new products. The veggie box is great and the curation of products is rad.” ⭐ “A lot of unique and hard to find products. Social media and food delivery in one app. Sign me up.” ⭐ “It feels like shopping from farmers market in the comfort of your home.” ⭐ “Pricing is fair and reasonable; selections are diverse and appealing; packaging is smart and conscientious; and, the buying process is fun. The Feed experience makes you feel like you are part of a special village of foodies who appreciate and value curation of and access to some of the best local offerings available.” ⭐ “Feed is the epitome of what a modern grocery shopping app should be. The seamless fusion of high quality, locally sourced products and a social aspect is unparalleled.” ⭐ “With its user-friendly interface, extensive product selection, and reliable delivery service, it’s become my go-to app.” Please join us in making this the happiest, tastiest place on the internet!

I’m Onur Kardesler, one of Feed’s co-founders. I’m excited to share with you our social commerce platform, combining e-commerce and social media to create a vibrant and engaging community for foodies and support small, independent brands (over 500 to date!). Over the last two years of building Feed, we learned two important things 💡 Connection and a sense of community are vital to our health and wellbeing individually and as a collective. Food is fun! It’s a universal connector and brings people together. At Feed, we are passionate about food and community. We believe everything we eat has a story to tell – from a freshly baked loaf of sourdough to organic strawberries harvested at peak freshness – and we are on a mission to tell them all. My co-founder Ece and I both grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, and our childhoods were filled with treasured trips to the local bazaar with family, friends, and neighbors. My mother adored spending time getting to know each vendor, forever on a quest to feel connected to our community and select the best seasonal items for our family. In today’s world, we don’t always have time to visit our favorite farmer’s market, butcher, coffee shop, or bakeshop. Online grocery shopping provides incredible convenience and access, but virtual shopping can be a solitary, monotonous experience. And many of the small farms, local purveyors, and artisanal food brands we love can be hard to locate online, let alone all in one place.
