Supporting Farmers and Ensuring Fresh, Local Produce
Leprendo is excited to announce that we’ve been awarded a $250,000 grant from the USDA’s Farmers Market Promotion Program. This funding propels our mission to ensure that customers have access to the freshest, highest-quality produce while helping farmers build stronger connections with their communities.
Enhancing Access for Customers
For years, we’ve been working to create a bridge between Southern California farmers and the customers who value locally sourced food. With this grant, we’ll be enhancing our efforts to help farmers expand their online presence and build systems that enable direct-to-consumer sales. This means more efficient access to fresh produce for customers, fewer middlemen, and better opportunities to support your local agricultural community.
Our Journey and Commitment
Leprendo’s roots go back to our time as a startup at the University of California, Irvine, where we committed ourselves to making a real difference for both farmers and consumers. Over the past year, we’ve traveled across Southern California, speaking with farmers to understand their challenges and to find innovative ways to bring their incredible products straight to you.
Looking Ahead
With this grant, we’ll continue to ensure you have access to the best produce possible, delivered with a commitment to quality, freshness, and sustainability.
