Little Leaf Farms is revolutionizing the CEA industry with its commitment to sustainable farming practices and modern agricultural techniques. By utilizing advanced greenhouse technologies, the company can grow fresh lettuce year-round. Their precise, soil-less hydroponic farming methods rely on captured rainwater, natural sunlight, and solar-powered energy. Additionally, their baby greens are harvested without human contact and are never treated with chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.
With the addition of William Hogan as Executive Vice President and CFO, Little Leaf Farms is ready for further growth and innovation. As the company continues to prioritize sustainable farming and expand its market presence, it remains dedicated to providing high-quality, locally-grown lettuce to consumers across the United States.
