Local Internet marketing and food service company Azoti has one focus—to help local food producers grow. To accomplish that mission, they have created a program that allows employers to give their employees access to fresh produce, meat, dairy and artisan foods. Interested employees subscribe to the service and fresh, nutritious, locally sourced food is delivered directly to them as they leave work.

Founded in 2011, Azoti’s online platform connects independent farmers and food producers with consumers who want healthy food delivered to the workplace. Through its Employer Connect, the company achieves a trifecta of sorts – employers can provide a benefit that improves wellness and lowers health insurance premiums, employees benefit from locally grown foods conveniently delivered to their workplace and food producers find another way to grow and sustain their businesses.

Companies currently offering Azoti’s services include Safelite Group, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Safe Auto, NBC4 and State Auto. For more information, visit Azoti’s website.

Innovate New Albany, the city’s incubator for technology startups, entrepreneurs and small businesses, features 16,000 square feet of space within the New Albany Business Park’s Signature Office Building, 8000 Walton Parkway.
