Lactuca sativa. Red Leaf. 30 days baby; 55 full. We ventured into our first attempt at lettuce breeding with this gem of an ultra red leaf. A little opportunistic to start, we discovered a few off types in one lot of Revolution lettuce. Over a few years, we have stabilized it, and like it more…
Lactuca sativa. Red Butterhead. 48 days. This showy lettuce is like having Madonna in your garden. An early red butterhead with great color and size. A former favorite of commercial growers and thanks to USDA GRIN, it was saved from extinction. We chose it in our trials because it’s just plain great for farmers and…
Lactuca sativa. Red Leaf. 60 days. A delicious and hardy loose leaf lettuce. You know what you’re getting by the name: Red-Tinged Winter lettuce shows a tinge of red on its ruffled green leaves. Though it is clearly noted as a winter variety, we find it to be a good lettuce much of the year….
Lactuca sativa. Mini Red Romaine. 30 days baby; 55 full. Named for one of the most abundant, and boldly colored, birds of North America. The name was inspired by a flock of RWBLs (yes, we are bird-nerds!) that moved in to glean the remnants of our sunflower seed crop while our first crop of this…
Lactuca sativa. Green Romaine. 30 days baby; 60 full. Big, dark-green romaine with a crunchy, delicious, sweet flavor.

Lactuca sativa. Speckled Crisphead. 60 days. A large, crisphead type lettuce. Olive green with a nice bronze blush and covered in beautiful red speckles.

Lactuca sativa. Red Butterhead. 55 days. A really great, medium-sized red butterhead variety. Once popular with market growers but disappeared after the PVP expired. Smooth leaves are red tipped with green interiors. Bred for resistance to lettuce mosaic virus, sclerotinia and downy mildew, Sangria is also heat tolerant, resists tip-burn and holds longer in the…
Lactuca sativa. Green and Red Crisphead. 45-55 days. A brilliant green and red crisphead lettuce. Exceptional heat resistance similar to Batavian types and the flavor is sweet and crisp even in the middle of summer. The last few years we have been trialing summer lettuces and Saragossa is one of our favorites. Selected to excel…
Lactuca sativa. Green and Red Crisphead. 60-90 days. Heads are green with bronze tips, upright in stature, size up quickly but then can sit in the field for weeks before bolting. Great for folks that like to have lettuce in the garden but don’t like to eat it all at once. Slogun will wait for…
Lactuca sativa. Green Oak Leaf. 30 days baby; 55 full. Great for salad mix production and also heads up nicely for the perfect sized salad at home.

The bright green leaves have crisp ribs and frilly leaf margins. Early to size up, Snowflake is a vigorous lettuce with good bolt resistant. Plants attain a very large size if…
Lactuca sativa. Mini Green Romaine. 50 days. Crunchy dark-green stars in the garden. Stoke loves cool weather and produces sweet leaves perfect for any salad or sandwich. A very hardy variety that is capable of overwintering in the south of England with no protection (minimum temperatures to 10°F). Old-school mini-romaine, similar to Little Gem, that…
Lactuca sativa. Green Crisphead. 45-55 days. A vibrant green, summer crisphead variety. There are so many names for this type of lettuce – summer crisp, crispleaf – and we prefer crisphead because they all make a nice crispy head. This is very true for Victoria Batavian. We spent several years trialing summer lettuce varieties and,…
Lactuca sativa. Red Leaf. 50 days. The unstoppable vivid Vulcan! Very early to mature with great taste for such a beautifully red lettuce. The tender durability, heat and disease tolerance have made Vulcan our red leaf lettuce of choice for many years. In fact, if we were going to plant one 300′ bed of red…

White Seeded Samara has a unique style, a little like a savoyed butterhead but without the tight heads. Flavor and texture is great, providing a sweet loftiness with a slight crispness.

Lactuca sativa. Green Romaine. 30 days baby; 60 full. A serious lettuce classic. We do not carry many common varieties but when we do, it is because we really love them. Winter Density Lettuce is halfway between a romaine and a butterhead. This old reliable variety is productive and disease resistant. Perfectly proportioned leaf shape…
Lactuca sativa. Green Leaf Stem/Celtuce. 60 days. At first Xingtai 16 presents as a somewhat normal looking romaine type lettuce, and can be eaten as salad with the familiar lettuce crunch.
