Leprendo: Farm Stories, Fresh Food
We believe every meal should tell a story, and every farmer deserves to be seen.
Leprendo is a Southern California marketplace connecting you directly to local farms through transparent storytelling and fresh, seasonal produce. Founded in 2023 by Dylan Riffle and Dan Ta, we're building more than a platform, we're creating the infrastructure that makes local food systems work.
Our mission? Make it easy for you to know your farmer, understand your food, and support a regional food system built on transparency, quality, and community.
From small organic farms to your kitchen table, we're bridging the gap, one story, one harvest, one relationship at a time.
Shop with purpose. Eat with intention. Know your food.
Step into the heart of our farms with our video series. Explore behind-the-scenes footage of the daily life on the farm, from the fields to the harvest.
Each video brings you closer to the farmers who grow your food, showcasing the care and dedication that goes into every product.

Rooted in California
While we bring you food products from around the world, our roots lie in the beautiful, bountiful California, a state known for its diverse agricultural bounty. We work with various farms in the region, many of which proudly carry USDA Organic, CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers), and other notable certifications, reflecting our commitment to quality and sustainability.
Pledging Quality and Sustainability
Transparency and sustainability aren't add-ons at Leprendo, they're how we operate. We believe you deserve to know exactly where your food comes from, who grew it, and how it was raised. That's why every product on our platform includes the farm's story and the face behind your food.
Empowering Farmers for the Digital Age
By amplifying the voices of farmers and providing them a wider reach, we are making a significant difference in the way our food systems operate. Join us on this exciting journey as we reshape the farm-to-table experience for the digital age.
