Intro

Marley Spoon (ASE:MMM) is bringing delightful, market fresh and easy cooking back to the people, while re-inventing the global food supply chain to reduce unethical food waste. We are connecting consumers with quality producers, providing fresh food directly to customer's homes and we are present in Europe, the US and Australia, shipping our product to about 50.000 zip codes.
