What does “Air Grown” mean?
Air Grown, also known as Aeroponics, means that plants grow with their roots exposed to air. Their feet are in the clouds, so to speak! These roots are periodically misted with nutrient-rich water—and they grow twice as fast as plants grown in soil since more oxygen gets to the roots.
Why are your greens so safe?
Our Air Grown Salads are grown indoors in exceptionally sanitary conditions away from all dangers that can cause food borne illness. No birds, canal water, insects, animals or the like are allowed in. The result? beautiful, safe and delicious salads.

What are the benefits of growing greens close to shoppers?
To us, it makes no sense to grow greens that spend a week or more being shipped across the country. This outdated model dramatically reduces freshness and nutritional value— plus, it results in significant carbon emissions from long-haul transportation.
