Year-round, Midwestern grower, Living Greens Farm, is bringing new lettuce and microgreen products to the Midwest retail market. The new items are available in clamshell, micro-packaging and convenient bagged options, the later representing the first time that fresh produce has been processed by an indoor grower in a bagged format.
This offering is part of a broader effort by Living Greens Farm to expand its lineup of the freshest, highest quality, locally, air-grown and pesticide-free products. Living Greens Farm works with Robinson Fresh, an Eden Prairie, MN based provider who specializes in sourcing and transporting fresh produce for consumers around the world.

Robinson Fresh and Living Greens Farm have worked together for several years to help provide fresh, local green product options to Midwestern consumers.

Robinson, has worked closely with Living Greens Farm to leverage relationships with local retailers to provide sourcing and supply chain solutions to help them grow and manage this complex, fresh produce business,” said Michael Castagnetto, V.P. of global sourcing for Robinson Fresh.
