The new Fresh Express Chopped Kits and Crunchy Blend have a suggested retail price of $3.99 and are available now in the refrigerated produce department at retailers nationwide, including Albertsons, Aldi, Food Lion, Giant Eagle and Walmart. 

As of August 22, Simply Fresh Salads by FiveStar Gourmet Foods are available at Kroger stores in several key markets, including Ralphs stores on the West Coast.  

Pittsburgh-based Fifth Season plans to open a second vertical farm about three hours west in Columbus, Ohio, on property near the John Glen International Airport, the company announced earlier this year. 

Expanding what is already one of the most diverse greenhouse baby leaf and head lettuce portfolios on the market, Revol Greens is adding a large-scale chopped romaine program with three new retail varieties available at select retailers throughout the Midwest: Premium Romaine Salad, Leafy Romaine Chop, and Vibrant Romaine Blend (SRP $2.99-$3.99 for 7.5-ounce packages). There also will be channel-specific packaging available for foodservice, serviced out of the Minnesota greenhouse. 

Dole Fresh Vegetables has enhanced its popular line of Dole FreshTakes Bowl Salads with three on-trend new flavors and proprietary new packaging that allows salad lovers to mix their Dole fresh lettuces, toppings and dressings in the same bowl without spilling.
