Hi everyone,
I'm Sustainability Manager at a Chicago start-up called Farmer's Fridge. We make wholesome, chef-curated meals and distribute them out of a 12-sq ft micro-restaurant, which operates similarly to a vending machine. We are able to offer a fresh and healthy vending option in several segments like health care, education, B&I, retail, and airports.
I am looking for help to define how and/or if placing a Farmer's Fridge vending machine in an existing building can help to support any LEED credits. If it can, looking for recommendations for the best way to communicate this to clients.

Eden, it sounds great, but I can't think of any way for your service to contribute toward LEED credits. Have you checked out WELL and Fitwel?

Thanks, Paula! That's what it looked like the more I read into the certification. However, I wanted to check. You see, some of our food is sourced locally, some of it is organic, and the wood casing around the fridge is sustainably sourced.
Given that, do you still think we do not contribute toward credits?
I have looked into WELL, but not Fitwel! Thank you for the recommendation!
