Fill Shoppers Salad Bowls with Northwest-Grown Lettuces!
Although this June has been rainier than some Northwest residents would like, lettuces have been loving it! Salad season is certainly upon us, and plenty of leafy greens are available for shoppers to build into beautiful salads.
Our Willamette Valley grower partners are providing plenty of options to meet every eater’s needs!
NW Leaf Lettuce
Standard favorites like green leaf, red leaf, and romaine are plentiful and serve as a fantastic foundation to build a display around. Take advantage of the opportunity to bring in specialty lettuce such as Oakleaf Salanova and Little Gem red romaine from our friends at Commonplace Farm and full-sized red romaine from our long-time partner Nuevo Amanacer! All three options add dynamic color and texture to lettuce lineups that will draw shoppers in and encourage them to explore these fresh and tasty crops.
NW Salad Mixes
Shoppers who prefer bulk will be pleased to find their options are seemingly unlimited in this category. From Commonplace Farm and Riverland Family Farm, tasty and tender Spring Mix is sure to please! Don’t miss out on Baby Kale and Baby Lettuce mixes also from Commonplace for those eaters seeking more variety in their meals. There’s still time to enjoy Braising mix, too, so help us support our friends at Four Elements Farm and excite eaters with a greens option suited for cooking and warm salads.
And of course, don’t forget all the fun salad fixings, too. Cherry tomatoes, avocados, sweet onions, stone fruit and more are just a phone call away, so contact your Account Rep today!
