Cleaner growing. Less waste. Better lettuce.
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using nutrient-rich water instead of soil. This process reduces water consumption, eliminates soil-borne contaminants, and produces consistently fresh, high-quality greens.
Our specially designed re-circulating hydroponic methods save land, conserve water, eliminate agricultural runoff and chemical pesticides, and offer the benefits of efficient, high-yield, local, and year-round food production.
Salad Days uses far less water than traditional field-grown agriculture. Our water is recycled and used multiple times, reducing the amount necessary by as much as 80% over crops grown outdoors.
Salad Days can produce the equivalent of approximately 20 acres in our 65,000 square foot controlled environment greenhouse. This keeps our land use requirements at a minimum.
Crops are grown, cared for, and harvested to achieve optimum taste and nutrition. Our products are often harvested just a few hours before they reach a restaurant plate or supermarket shelf, ensuring absolute freshness and nutrition.
Salad Days is GAP/GHP certified and routinely audited by the USDA. Our clean, controlled growing environment helps minimize the risk of contamination and foodborne illness. We also do not use animal waste fertilizers, reducing the risk of bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.
Salad Days grows high-quality produce year-round in a controlled indoor environment, protecting crops from weather-related disruptions and ensuring consistent quality.
