Ashley Tyrner-Dolce Biography

Ashley Tyrner-Dolce is the founder and former CEO of FarmboxRx, a healthcare company that introduced the concept of food as engagement within the American health system. Tyrner-Dolce established FarmboxRx after leaving her corporate position, investing three years of personal savings to cover startup costs such as branding, marketing, warehousing, and legal fees. Her motivation stemmed from her experiences as a single Latina mother living in a food desert and relying on food stamps. She initially launched Farmbox Direct in New York City, providing fresh produce directly to consumers, which later evolved into FarmboxRx, a healthcare-focused enterprise.

Tyrner-Dolce is recognized for creating the food-as-engagement category in healthcare and was the first to facilitate health plan coverage for food boxes as a member benefit. FarmboxRx operates at no cost to users, with Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance providers covering grocery deliveries as part of preventative health care. The subscription-based business has generated significant annual revenue and partnered with more than 80 health plans. Tyrner-Dolce built FarmboxRx over a decade without venture capital, declined investor requests to pivot to a meal-kit model, and exited the company while retaining majority ownership.

With expertise in food policy, Tyrner-Dolce collaborated with Sam Kass during the Obama administration, contributing to Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign and developing pilot programs for SNAP/EBT with the USDA. FarmboxRx has delivered produce to millions of households and works with more than 90 health plans to provide healthy food boxes, educational materials, and reminders that encourage members to participate in preventative health actions such as screenings and lifestyle improvements. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, TIME, The Today Show, CBS Mornings, Forbes, and Inc.

Pyx Health, a health technology company based in Tucson, acquired FarmboxRx in a transaction supported by an investment from S2G Investments, a firm focused on agriculture and sustainability. After the acquisition, Tyrner-Dolce began advising new healthcare startups as an operating partner at HLM Investment Partners, assisting founders with go-to-market strategies. Her experience in entrepreneurship, health equity, and food as medicine has positioned her as a prominent voice in the healthcare and food policy sectors.
