A single seed
One pelleted Lollo Verde seed, sown into a rockwool plug the size of a sugar cube.
Forty-five days from seed to your kitchen.
Lollo Rosso, Lollo Verde, Red and Green Oak Leaf, and Basil — grown in water and light, cut to order, never sprayed.
Why it tastes different
Four things a greenhouse can promise that a field cannot.
Never sprayed
A sealed greenhouse keeps pests out, so nothing needs spraying to keep them out. There is no pesticide residue to wash off.
Cut to order
Nothing is harvested until it is spoken for. Most orders are cut the morning they are delivered, inside 24 hours of reaching you.
The same in August
Climate control means a head cut in February and one cut in August are the same head. No seasonal gap, no imported substitute.
90% less water
The nutrient water recirculates. What a field loses to the ground and the air, a closed system gives back to the next crop.
The range
Five greens, grown side by side.
Four lettuces and a basil. Every one of them is available every week of the year, in the same pack formats, at the same size.
How it works
Water, light, and nothing else.
Hydroponics sounds technical. In practice it is three steps, and the whole argument for it is that you can see the roots.
01
Sown into a plug
A single pelleted seed goes into a rockwool cube and sits in the dark until the root breaks the coat. No soil enters the building.
02
Set into moving water
The plug moves into a channel where oxygenated nutrient water runs past the roots continuously. The plant takes exactly what it needs, and the rest recirculates.
03
Cut with the roots on
Around day 45 the head is ready. We cut it with the root ball intact wherever the pack allows, because a plant that is still drinking keeps far longer than one that isn't.
Three ways to buy
However you cook, there is a way in.
Cut this morning. On your table tonight.
