Lepp Farm Market

What Lepp Farm Market does

Lepp Farm Market is a family-run, vertically integrated farm-to-table retailer headquartered at 33955 Clayburn Road in Abbotsford, British Columbia, serving local families, food enthusiasts, and gift buyers across the Fraser Valley. The company owns upstream production assets including Abbotsford and Sumas Prairie farms, two Okanagan orchards, and a hydroponic greenhouse (built 2019) for year-round lettuce, kale, and celery production, plus strawberry tunnel infrastructure to extend the local growing season. Cattle are raised in partnership with Fossen Bar 7 Ranch in Rock Creek, BC, under the 2022 National Environmental Stewardship Award-winning program, and are dry-aged in-house for a minimum of 21 days. Pork and chicken are raised on the company's own farms.

The retail storefront integrates a full-service butcher shop with nose-to-tail custom cutting, a produce department, a curated grocery aisle, an on-site cafe (Lepp's Cafe), a seasonal real-fruit ice cream shack (March-October), and a prepared foods kitchen producing ready-made meals. A separate but related entity, Lepp's Bakehouse, operates artisan sourdough locations in Downtown Abbotsford and Fort Langley with daily fresh delivery to the market. Distribution is overwhelmingly through the single physical storefront, supplemented by a Shopify-based online shop limited to gift baskets, gift cards, and butcher boxes for in-store pickup; no delivery or general online grocery ordering exists.

Revenue is generated primarily through unit-priced retail transactions at point of sale, with supporting streams from cafe sales, ice cream, gift baskets and cards, and the Lepp Family Rewards loyalty program offering weekly rotating 20-40% discounts. The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed revenue figures, and a headcount of 11-50 employees spanning general management, marketing, HR, meat, and cafe/ice cream operations.

Revenue model

1. Retail Farm Market Sales: The primary revenue stream is retail sales through the physical farm market. The market features a full-service butcher shop, produce department, grocery aisle, deli meats, and prepared foods. Customers pay at point of sale for physical goods.
2. Lepp's Cafe: On-site cafe serving specialty coffee drinks, baked goods, sandwiches, soups, and rotating lunch/dinner features. The cafe uses local ingredients from their own farms and other local producers.
3. Ice Cream Shack: Real fruit ice cream made in-house using Birchwood Dairy ice cream combined with local Fraser Valley berries. Operates March through October. Offers gluten-free and dairy-free options using Nora's Coconut Milk Ice Cream.
4. Online E-commerce (Gift Baskets & Meat Boxes): Shopify-based online store for gift baskets, gift cards, and butcher boxes with in-store pickup. Provides incremental revenue from customers who cannot visit physically.
5. Lepp's Bakehouse (Related Entity): While technically a separate entity (located at 2518 West Railway Street, Downtown Abbotsford and Fort Langley), the Bakehouse produces artisan sourdough bread and baked goods delivered fresh daily to the market. This represents a related-party revenue stream.
