High-Altitude Lettuce Mix
One pound of eight tender lettuces, cut same-day.
How this greens is made — and by whom.
Passive-solar high-tunnel greens grown at 5,400 ft on the front range of the Rockies. Twelve-month lettuce, spinach, and hardy Asian brassicas from a single-family operation.
Boulder, Colorado — the country around Boulder, where the soil, weather, and water shape what comes out of the ground. This product can only taste the way it does because it's from here, and nowhere else.
Picked at ripeness by the family and their crew, sorted on the packing bench the same morning, and packed into the basket in the order things came in from the field — no cold storage, no gas ripening, no supermarket middle.
The farm basket rotates with the fields — spring greens and asparagus, high-summer tomatoes and stone fruit, autumn roots and squash, winter citrus and hardy brassicas.
Grown in unheated high tunnels at 5,400 ft — the cold nights concentrate sugars and make crisp, sweet leaves even in winter.
