Local, sustainable lettuce reaches more stores in New York

Little Leaf Farms, seller of controlled environment agriculture baby leaf lettuce in the U.S., is now available at Price Chopper stores throughout New York State. This expansion into Price Chopper is another step in Little Leaf Farms’ continued growth to meet rising demand for sustainable, locally grown lettuce across the north east. The company is also adding approximately five acres of new state-of-the art greenhouse growing space that will double capacity to produce more than two million boxes of fresh baby greens a month.

“We are proud to extend a resilient local, sustainable food supply by partnering with Price Chopper,” said Paul Sellew, Founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms. “This pandemic has revealed how the food supply chain is part of our nation’s critical infrastructure. Our greenhouse greens are a game-changer for East Coast consumers who can now eat much fresher, more sustainable and crispier lettuce.”

While 95 percent of the country’s leafy greens are grown in California or Arizona and then trucked more than 3,000 miles across the nation, Little Leaf Farms ships to stores within 24 hours. The greens are fresh and maintain a significantly long shelf life.

Price Chopper will carry all three Little Leaf Farms Varieties – Baby Crispy Green Leaf, Baby Red and Green Leaf and Baby Spring Mix - in 137 stores.  A list of stores can also be found on the Little Leaf Farms website.
