Text Block #1

Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

At Little Leaf Farms, we are transforming the way food is grown by delivering the freshest, best tasting baby greens to salad lovers all year round. Our greenhouse is based in Devens, Massachusetts, allowing us to deliver our lettuce to east coast stores within a day of harvest. This is a big difference from the majority of lettuce that is grown on the West Coast, which spends a week traveling by truck to our local stores. In addition, we have carefully developed sustainable growing practices into our greenhouse to protect our planet.
