Heppell’s Potato Corp.

Heppell’s Potatoes is a fifth-generation family-owned potato farming and packing company based in Surrey, British Columbia, with more than 100 years of agricultural heritage in the fertile soils of the Lower Mainland. The company specializes in growing and packaging premium potatoes and squash, supplying fresh produce to customers through established distribution channels. Its products are marketed locally under the Heppell’s brand and across Western Canada under the BC Fresh banner. 

A key strength of Heppell’s is its expertise in early-season potato production. The company states that it has been the first farm to harvest potatoes for Canadian retail every year for the past 40 years, helping provide consumers with locally grown potatoes early in the season. By producing millions of servings of food each year, Heppell’s contributes to Western Canada’s food supply while helping reduce dependence on imported fresh produce. Its operations combine generations of farming knowledge with a focus on product quality, reliable customer service and continued innovation. 

Beyond production and distribution, Heppell’s emphasizes responsible agriculture, sustainability, innovation and long-term relationships. The company highlights its commitment to finding practical solutions to changing agricultural challenges while maintaining a respectful workplace and strong relationships with customers and business partners. Family ownership by Wes and Laureen Heppell reinforces the company’s long-term approach to farming and farmland stewardship. Its focus on local production and protecting agricultural land also positions Heppell’s as an important contributor to the future of British Columbia’s farming sector.
