Local Lettuce Heads
Local Lettuce Heads is a family-run hydroponic greenhouse in the heart of Baldwin County, Alabama. They proclaim to grow the cleanest, safest, and tastiest non-GMO lettuces and leafy greens—completely pesticide-free. Their computer-monitored systems operate 24/7, allowing them to grow fresh, flavorful greens year-round with unmatched consistency and care. At the heart of the farm is Pietro Lombardino, of Sicilian origins, where he was raised with a deep respect for the land and a passion for bold, natural flavor. Now based in Alabama, Pietro delights in bringing top-quality lettuce to New Orleans and surrounding communities. His mission: to help people fall back in love with lettuce. Lettuce change your mind about lettuce. Taste the difference tradition and hydroponic can make.
You can find Local Lettuce Heads at the Crescent City Farmers Market or follow their journey on Instagram and Facebook at @locallettuceheads.
