Little Leaf Farms, the country’s No. 1 brand of packaged lettuce sustainably grown through controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), is expanding its line of leafy greens with the launch of its newest variety: Romaine Leaf.

Setting a new standard in how romaine is grown and enjoyed, Little Leaf Farms introduces the 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, the Romaine Leaf is harvested daily and delivered from greenhouse to grocery store in about a day – a testament to the brand’s commitment to deliver on freshness, quality and taste.

“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.”

Little Leaf Farms’ Romaine Leaf is available in 4-ounce packages and can be found on retail shelves throughout the eastern half of the U.S. The Romaine Leaf is also available for foodservice customers.

The 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 the fall of 2026.

As the fastest-growing packaged salad brand in the country, Little Leaf Farms continues to advance toward its goal of bringing fresh, delicious leafy greens to all, serving over 50% of the U.S. population through 7,000 grocery stores in the eastern U.S.
