Revol Greens, one of the largest greenhouse lettuce growers in North America, has plans to double its romaine lettuce production throughout the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. The increase in production is supported by Revol Greens’ indoor growing facilities in Minnesota, California, and Georgia, as well as a new 20-acre facility in Temple, TX. Thanks to its Clean & Green growing process and its protected growing environments, Revol Greens, which grows organic and conventional lettuce products and offers more than seven romaine products in both head lettuce and baby leaf product types, can produce fresh, delicious, and clean lettuce 365 days a year without the threat of recalls.

Revol Greens’ increase in romaine lettuce production is largely due to its new 20-acre advanced greenhouse in Temple that will produce upwards of 17 million pounds of greens annually upon phase 2 completion. While doubling its romaine output, Revol Greens indoor greenhouses continue to use significantly less water and land than field-grown lettuce. Revol Greens’ new facility adopts the most advanced greenhouse technology and growing methods in the industry, using 90% less water than traditional field-grown greens, irrigation from UV-sterilized rainwater and snowmelt, and sustainable sunlight.

“A key aspect of our mission at Revol Greens is offering a diverse product assortment that caters to the needs of a complex produce supply chain,” says Tom Thompson, Chief Revenue Officer at Revol Greens. “Developing programs anchored in organic growing practices, sustainability, and locally grown will always be core to what we do. Building on that foundation, Revol Greens also offers grocers and food service operators an alternative to field grown romaine and breadth and scale to customers as they seek a greenhouse-protected alternative.”
