US (MS): "Many restaurants in the area serve our produce within 24 hours of being harvested"

Salad Days is a hydroponic farm located in Flora, MS. "We grow a variety of lettuces year-around in an 18,000 sq ft greenhouse without the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides. We supply grocery stores and numerous restaurants in the Jackson metro area, New Orleans and beyond," the team says.

Salad Days consistently produces healthy, safe lettuce for consumers in its area. "We do not use any harmful chemicals or pesticides and adhere to a rigorous food safety plan so our customers can safely enjoy fresh salads all year long. We are an environmentally friendly, low-impact farm that uses hydroponic growing systems to minimize the use of water and land."

"We believe that consumers choose locally grown for many reasons. Freshness & flavor are obvious, but also knowing where your food comes from has become a priority for many. Growing and selling our produce in MS means our vegetables aren't shipped thousands of miles but instead are harvested and consumed at the peak of ripeness & quality. Many times, restaurants in the Jackson metro area are serving Salad Days produce that was harvested less than 24 hours ago," the team says.

"Mississippi is ranked highest in obesity and food insecurity so we are proud to grow healthy produce to feed our Mississippians. One of our favorite things is seeing kids taste our lettuce and ask for more! We also love hearing customers saying they can recognize our produce on restaurant plates and that regular "grocery store" lettuce just won't cut it for them anymore. The support we have gotten in MS has been phenomenal...thanks to all of our loyal customers!"
