Why hydroponic Green Salad Bowl Lettuce?

Hydroponic growing uses a water-based nutrient system instead of soil. This helps keep the crop clean, controlled, and close to the community.
Since we grow locally in Scarborough, travel time from harvest to pickup or local delivery is reduced.

Indoor hydroponic growing can also support careful water use because water and nutrients are managed in a controlled system.
For customers, that means fresh local produce grown with care, consistency, and less dependency on long-distance supply chains.

Freshness Tips

• Rinse before use
• Snip only what you need to maintain freshness
• Keep refrigerated in the crisper with the roots lightly hydrated and the leaves dry
• Store the head in a loose produce bag or container to help reduce moisture loss
• If the leaves begin to soften, soak them in very cold, clean water for 5 to 10 minutes, the drain and dry thoroughly before serving
• Use within 5 to 7 days
