US: Little Leaf Farms introduces new Romaine Lettuce

Little Leaf Farms is expanding its line of leafy greens with the launch of its newest variety: Romaine Leaf.

Hoping to set a new standard in how Romaine is grown and enjoyed, Little Leaf Farms introduces Romaine Leaf: flavorful lettuce that stays fresh and crispy longer, and is grown without harmful pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. Nurtured in greenhouses that harness sunlight and fresh rainwater, it's sustainably produced 365 days a year delivering clean, delicious greens with every bite.

Unlike field-grown lettuce, Little Leaf Farms' leafy greens are hands-free from seeding to harvest, which means no washing is required. Perfect for salads, sandwiches or any recipe that needs some extra crunch, Romaine Leaf is harvested daily and delivered from greenhouse to grocery store in about a day.

"Romaine is a staple in households across the country, and we saw a real opportunity to elevate this everyday favorite," said Chris Hill, Chief Revenue Officer at Little Leaf Farms. "By growing our leafy greens in a controlled environment, we're offering consumers a crisp, fresh Romaine they'll love, grown in a way they can feel good about."

Romaine Leaf is the latest development in Little Leaf Farms' continued expansion. The new lettuce variety follows the company's announcement of its newest facility in Manchester, Tennessee – a 215-acre site that will significantly increase production capacity. Once fully operational, the Tennessee greenhouse will supply fresh leafy greens to the Midwest, Southeast, and Texas. Construction is set to begin this summer, with an anticipated launch in Fall 2026.
