The national growth strategy for Revol Greens, the largest greenhouse lettuce producer in the US, continues to germinate with the inaugural planting at its recently completed Tehachapi, CA-based greenhouse.
Up-and-coming leaders from three of the nation's most progressive organic growing operations have been confirmed as panelists for the keynote presentation at the 2021 Organic Grower Summit (OGS) Presented by Western Growers and OPN on December 1-2, in Monterey, CA.
Lack of supplies and volatility in the market have led to soaring organic lettuce prices as western shippers transition to their winter programs. As the Salinas lettuce deal limps to its conclusion, winter production is not yet ready to take over, leading to a demand-exceeds-supply situation in several items.
Consumer interest in organic foods, and especially fresh organic produce, has grown tremendously over the past few years, with data reflecting the overall increase in sales. Additionally, today's consumers are more mindful about eating healthy, nutritious products and are very passionate about protecting the environment.
