Little Farms Market, One Raffles Place – Opening Soon

Little Farms Market Takes Over at One Raffles Place: Singapore's Premium Grocer Expands to the Heart of the Financial District

There’s something undeniably exciting about discovering a new food destination—especially when it brings quality ingredients right to your doorstep. Little Farms Market is set to open its newest location at One Raffles Place, taking over the space previously occupied by Marks & Spencer Food at Level 1, #01-09, Singapore 048616. The anticipation is building as the vibrant hoarding goes up, promising a fresh chapter for food lovers and office workers in the heart of the CBD.

This marks a significant milestone for Singapore's beloved neighbourhood grocer, representing their eighth location across the island and their first major expansion into the Central Business District. For busy professionals working in Raffles Place, this means premium organic produce, artisanal goods, and Little Farms Market’s signature quality will soon be just an elevator ride away.

What Makes This Expansion Special

Little Farms Market isn’t just another grocery store opening—it’s a home-grown Singapore success story that’s been transforming how we think about quality food since 2016. Founded right here in Singapore, the company has grown from a single store at Valley Point Shopping Centre to a network of premium markets serving communities across the island.

With Singapore’s growing appetite for natural, organic, and ethically-sourced food, Little Farms Market is perfectly positioned to meet demand. Their commitment to 100% clean ingredients—free from nasties like MSG, artificial additives, and preservatives—resonates with health-conscious consumers who refuse to compromise on quality. The brand’s ethos is clear on the hoarding: “No MSG, no additives and preservatives.”

The new location will also feature the popular Starter Lab Bakery, promising freshly baked artisan bread daily. This is a huge draw for those who appreciate quality baked goods and the aroma of real sourdough and pastries made with care.

Leadership That Understands Singapore

Under the guidance of Joe Stevens, Co-Chairman and CEO, Little Farms Market has enjoyed remarkable growth. Stevens, an American citizen who has lived in Singapore for over 16 years, brings extensive experience from investment banking and private equity. His mission to build “the Whole Foods Market of Asia” has translated into impressive results, including a 63.3% revenue increase to S$25.8 million in 2020.

Though initially targeting expatriates and affluent locals, Little Farms Market now draws a growing base of young, health-conscious Singaporeans—a shift that accelerated during the pandemic. This demographic evolution has been crucial to the brand's expansion strategy across Singapore.

The One Raffles Place Advantage

• Prime CBD positioning with direct access to Singapore's largest concentration of office workers
• Excellent connectivity via Raffles Place MRT station
• Established foot traffic in Singapore's financial heart
• Demographics that perfectly align with Little Farms Market's customer base

The new store will pair Little Farms Market's premium grocery offerings with their popular café concept, bringing fresh, all-natural food and ready-to-eat options to the bustling business district. This combination has proven successful across their other locations, creating community gathering spaces that serve both retail and dining needs.

What to Expect at Little Farms Market One Raffles Place

Based on Little Farms Market's other locations, the One Raffles Place store will likely feature an impressive array of premium offerings that have made the brand Singapore's go-to destination for quality groceries:

• Fresh Produce Section: Organic fruits and vegetables from trusted suppliers, including specialty items like organic Thai produce boxes with EU and USDA certified vegetables from Chiang Mai
• Artisanal Products: Over 200 types of specialty cheeses and premium charcuterie options
• Sustainable Meats & Seafood: Ethically-sourced proteins from responsible partners
• Starter Lab Bakery: Freshly baked sourdough breads, focaccias, croissants, and artisanal pastries made daily with clean ingredients
• Café Component: Ready-to-eat meals and beverages for busy professionals, featuring the same premium ingredients used in their full-service restaurants

Little Farms Market’s comprehensive banned ingredients list excludes more than 200 harmful chemicals, artificial additives, and preservatives, ensuring customers receive only the purest options. This commitment to quality has earned them recognition as having “the highest density of items labelled ‘organic’ in all of Singapore.”

Little Farms Market's Growing Network

The One Raffles Place location joins an impressive network of Little Farms Market locations across Singapore, each serving different communities with the same commitment to quality. Current locations include Valley Point Shopping Centre (the original 2016 store), Tanjong Pagar's Guoco Tower, Holland Village, Katong Point, Tanglin Mall, Serangoon Garden's MyVillage, and Sentosa Cove.

Each Little Farms Market location offers unique features while maintaining consistent quality standards. The flagship Tanglin Mall store, for instance, spans 6,800 square feet and incorporates an all-day dining café, wholefoods store, and live artisanal bakery by Starter Lab.

Looking Ahead

This expansion is just the beginning for Little Farms Market. The company aims to double its seven stores by 2030 and is exploring regional opportunities, targeting its first overseas outlet by the end of 2025 in markets such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. With revenue growing year over year, Little Farms Market is well-positioned for continued expansion.
