Join us Tuesday, February 27th at Homegrown Foods

Homegrown Foods is owned by the Schoepp family which has lived, and continues to farm, in the Stony Plain area for five generations. In 1996 Jim Schoepp and a group of other local producers began providing a weekly service to customers who wanted products direct from the farmer. The success of this venture began to formulate a business idea and in 1997 Jim sold most of his cattle to step into the retail business.

As the demand for organic food and supplements continued to grow, we have also grown with an expansion in 2010 and again in 2014. Currently we carry over 18,000 items and have grown to 8000 Square feet of retail space. In 2018 we opened an in-store coffee shop with homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and specialty beverages, using only biodegradable serving items. The coffee shop also boasts the only soft serve organic ice cream in Alberta. In 2021 we opened our in house bakery and now offer organic bread, cinnamon buns, muffins and squares.
