Lettuce, Small/Medium - Hydroponic - BC

Hydroponic Mixed Lettuce — Green Lion Farms

Local lettuce—even in the middle of winter.

These crisp little lettuce heads are hydroponically grown by Green Lion Farms in Armstrong, BC, giving us fresh, locally grown greens throughout the year.

Each order contains a changing mix of lettuce types and colours, so you may receive green, red or mixed varieties depending on what's ready for harvest. The heads are generally small to medium-sized, crisp and tender—perfect for salads, sandwiches, burgers and wraps.

Choose Your Size

• 0.5 lb — usually about 2 or 4 heads

• 1 lb — usually about 4 or 8 heads

• Whole Case — 12 or 24 heads

Head sizes naturally vary, so the number of heads in the 0.5 lb and 1 lb options is approximate.

Great For

Everyday salads, sandwiches, burgers, wraps, tacos, grain bowls and lettuce cups.

Keep a few washed leaves ready in the fridge and you've got an easy way to add something fresh and crunchy to lunches throughout the week.

Storage

Keep lettuce refrigerated in the crisper drawer.

For the best keeping quality, keep the leaves dry. If you wash your lettuce ahead of time, dry it thoroughly before returning it to the fridge.

Build Your Basket

Add cucumbers, tomatoes and carrots for an easy everyday salad, or grab fresh herbs and your favourite cheese to make those greens a little more interesting.

Good to Know

Hydroponic growing means the plants are grown without soil, with their roots receiving the water and nutrients they need through a carefully managed growing system.

For us, one of the biggest benefits is simple: it gives our customers access to lettuce grown right here in the North Okanagan throughout the year, including the months when our outdoor fields are frozen or covered in snow.

How to Stretch This

Don't give up on lettuce just because it has started to wilt. Separate the leaves and soak them in very cold water for 10–20 minutes. Often, that's enough to bring back much of their crunch.

And if you've got more lettuce than you need for salad, try using the larger leaves as wraps for tacos, rice bowls or other fillings.
