Little Leaf Farms expands Pennsylvania campus

Little Leaf Farms, a producer of packaged lettuce sustainably grown through controlled environment agriculture, has opened a new greenhouse at its McAdoo, Pennsylvania campus.

The new facility marks the company's fourth greenhouse on the site.

Now totaling 40 acres, the campus in McAdoo supports the company's expansion into the Southeast, Midwest and Canada, with its products available in more than 8,000 grocery stores.

"2025 marks a decade of transformation and growth for Little Leaf Farms," said Paul Sellew, founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms. "When we started 10 years ago, controlled environment agriculture for leafy greens was virtually nonexistent in the U.S. Today, Little Leaf Farms has expanded what is possible in CEA, reshaping retailer assortments and consumer perceptions and pushing the packaged salad industry into a new era of variety and quality."

The McAdoo expansion will support consumer demand for Little Leaf Farms' newest innovation, Romaine Leaf lettuce, which the company said has doubled in national distribution since its launch in July.

Romaine Leaf is "teen" leaf romaine, which maintains the size of field-grown romaine but preserves crispness.

The company said that in anticipation of increased demand for its leafy green varieties, Little Leaf Farms recently announced a new campus in Manchester, Tennessee. Once fully operational, anticipated in fall 2026, the Tennessee campus will supply fresh leafy greens to the Midwest, Southeast and Texas.
