Local Environmental Agriculture Project Incorporated

Leap purchases food from local and regional farmers and food producers and food hubs. Producers deliver to the food hub, leap receives, aggregates, stores, and then distributes the food through our outlets including the leap mobile market, online marketplace, and farm share. Leap provides health food incentives to participating customers for 50% off the farm share or online market sales.

Leap kitchen: the leap kitchen is a shared commercial kitchen and food business incubator. Food businesses are required to operate out of a commercial kitchen. Kitchen members use the leap kitchen to operate their individual food businesses. Leap provides the space and equipment, links to the other support services, and access to leap outlets. Kitchen members pay an hourly fee for use of the space.

Other program initiatives include: fixed site farmers markets, mobile market programs, community gardens, and regional food planning
