That makes this nomination particularly interesting right now.
The FDA is currently investigating a major Cyclospora outbreak associated with iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico. Little Leaf Farms says its greenhouse-grown products are not affected by that outbreak and describes its controlled-environment model as designed to provide locally grown lettuce year-round.
Why It's on the Board
Reliability is customer value too.
Little Leaf Farms has built greenhouse operations around producing lettuce closer to where customers live and reducing dependence on seasonal growing regions. The company is also expanding capacity with a new Tennessee greenhouse as demand grows.
A customer saw that reliability during a difficult moment and thought it deserved recognition.
We think that's worth looking into.
