Devens, Mass.-based Little Leaf Farms is hosting a virtual grand opening for its greenhouse in Devens.

The event is at noon, EDT, Oct. 29.

The company opened its doors in 2016 with five acres of production and doubled it this fall, according to a news release.

The hydroponic salad greens grower uses sunlight and captured rainwater to grow lettuce under glass year-round.

The event includes:

  • Virtual tour of the greenhouse;
  • Fireside chat with CEO Paul Sellew;
  • Salad tips and recipes with Lexi’s Clean Kitchen;
  • Cocktail/mocktail creations inspired by Little Leaf Farms with bartender Chris Kiertz;
  • Salad recipe download from Flour Bakery owner Joanne Chang; and
  • Giveaways and coupons.

Anyone can virtually attend this event by registering through the RSVP page and joining the Zoom webinar.

The company is producing more than 2 million packages of lettuce each month and broadening distribution to stores across New England and into New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and throughout the East Coast.
