Summer is all about keeping things fresh, simple and delicious – and that’s exactly what you’ll
find in every package of Little Leaf Farms.
Founded with a mission to provide locally grown, consistently great-tasting lettuce year-round,
Little Leaf Farms is redefining what fresh means. Grown in the world’s largest and most
technologically advanced greenhouse, Little Leaf Farms Baby Greens are seeded, grown, cut
and packaged without ever being touched by human hands, making them clean and ready to
enjoy straight from the container. This protected process helps ensure exceptional freshness
and means there is no need to wash the greens before enjoying them. Just open the container,
serve and savor!
Sustainability is at the heart of every harvest. By growing in a controlled greenhouse
environment Little Leaf Farms uses up to 90% less water than traditional field-grown lettuce.
Water is delivered directly to the roots, minimizing waste while helping the plants thrive.
And when it comes to what’s not in your greens, that’s just as important. Little Leaf Farms
greens are grown without harmful chemicals, pesticides and are NON-GMO Project Verified,
giving consumers a flavorful choice they can feel good about serving their family.
Beyond their fresh flavor and crisp texture, baby greens are an easy way to add nutrition to
everyday meals. They’re a good source of Vitamin A and pair beautifully with everything from
seasonal berries and grilled peaches to fresh herbs, avocados and summer vegetables.
Whether you’re packing a picnic, hosting a backyard barbecue or looking for simple ways to add
freshness to everyday meals on busy summer days, Little Leaf Farms make it easy to bring
more crisp, delicious flavor to your summer table. While salads may be the star of the summer,
they aren’t the only way to let Little Leaf Farms greens shine. Get inspired with these fresh and
creative ways to enjoy them beyond the salad bowl,
● Add a layer of crunch to sandwiches and wraps
● Pile them onto burgers
● Use them as a fresh base for grain bowls and picnic-ready side dishes
● Top homemade pizzas with a handful of fresh greens just before serving
● Blend them into smoothies
● Use Little Leaf Farms Romaine Leaf lettuce alongside hummus, dip or your favorite
