Growing Lettuce

Butterhead Lettuce is grown:

• using hydroponics with Nutrient Film Technology
• with computer controlled feeding so the feeding is managed based on the stage of the crop
• in modern climate controlled greenhouses where the computer manages temperatures and air flow to provide the best possible growing climate
• on rolling benches to maximize growing space while providing good access for Butterhead lettuce plant care
• without pesticides
• with fertilizer created to provide Butterhead Lettuce with the exact diet they require to make tasty salads
• using fertilizer components that do not include any component that has a risk of carrying harmful agents like E. coli
• by greenhouse workers who use personal protection equipment such as powder-free vinyl gloves to minimize contamination
• on tables in greenhouses which has been determined by the FDA as the safest way to grow Butterhead Lettuce to ensure E. coli free produce
• using a written Standard Growing Procedure so the grower and greenhouse workers grow each crop every time the same way so users always get the same great tasting Butterhead Lettuce

Growing Butterhead Lettuce is just like any other difficult endeavor provided the objective is to obtain yields sufficient to cover costs crop in and crop out. It requires paying uncommon attention to every minute detail. Some people think growing Butterhead Lettuce is just casting some seeds and a few days later harvesting the crop. Wrong. Sometimes the results are good, however, our methods ensure every Butterhead

Lettuce crop meets our highest standard.
