The Romaine heads are remarkably full in size and color with sweet and delicate leaves. Packaged in an elegant poly bag, the lettuce is offered in a resealable two-count and club format under the recognizable branding of Backyard Farms.
“Greenhouse-grown Romaine lettuce has been on the wish list of retailers for years,” said Bonfiglio. “We are offering a product that is comparable in size to field-grown Romaine but with all the perks of greenhouse-grown produce, including flavor, color and consistency. We are excited to make our mark in this category the same way we have revolutionized tomatoes and berries.”
Backyard Farms has a loyal consumer base and long history of providing locally grown, fresh-from-the-vine tomatoes in Maine, where “it’s always tomato season.” The brand launched its lettuce line in the spring of 2023 and now offers a portfolio of cut leafy greens that are washed and ready-to-eat and high-quality living lettuce.
Visitors to the SEPC Southern Exposure trade show can check out Backyard Farms Romaine and the full line of fresh, leafy greens at booth No. 631.
