Growing Method

Our red butterhead lettuce is grown in both open fields and greenhouses, and sometimes even in gutters. Open-field cultivation ensures natural growth and a firm structure, while greenhouse cultivation guarantees consistent quality throughout the year. Growing in gutters allows for more efficient use of water and nutrients. This way, we can always offer fresh and crispy red butterhead lettuce.
