Fresh Healthy Vending is a vending machine company located in San Diego, California specializing in healthy alternatives to traditional vending machine snack foods and beverages. It was founded in June 2010. The company's refrigerated machines offer carrots, yogurt, smoothies, granola bars and beverages such as milk, juice and teas.
The company states that it sells only organic, natural and healthy foods and drinks, and the branded vending machines appear largely in schools, hospitals, health clubs and community organizations. As of 2011, the company had more than 2,000 vending machines in place around the country; about three-quarters of them are in schools. The company operates under a franchise model.
Fresh Healthy Vending has been active in providing healthy vending products to schools, as encouraged by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which placed a prohibition on high-calorie junk food in school vending machines. It is also involved in First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" program for battling childhood obesity.
