Lettuce is the canvas upon which salad creations are built. For way too long, it was taken for granted. A generation ago, most restaurant salads were built on a base of iceberg lettuce—crunchy but pale, with a neutral flavor. Then came romaine—more deeply colored and flavorful. But now, the fascination with vegetables in general is paralleled by an explosion of salad greens, featuring different textures, shapes and flavors as well as different colors (not only shades of green but also reds and pinks, white accents and near-black).

From growers to packers to customers—everyone has a hand in making Cross Valley Farms® the standard of the industry. It’s why we’re successful, and why we can say no one has shipped fresher—or safer—fruits, vegetables and processed salads since the mid-1990s.
