Hydroponic Bibb lettuce from Ithaca, NY — produced in a controlled environment that's happier, healthier, and more efficient than field farming.
Over 140 600W HPS lamps supplement natural sunlight across our 8,000 sq ft facility — tuning intensity and spectrum for consistent growth.
Glass transmits more light than polyurethane. Paired with a controlled climate, we grow Bibb lettuce straight through winter.
Crops grow above nutrient-filled ponds — faster, healthier, and using about ¼ of the water of traditional field farming.
At our facility in Ithaca, NY, Glass House Farms has the capacity to produce an estimated 750,000 heads of Bibb lettuce every year. In addition, we grow Basil, Pac Choi, Sylvetta, Arugula, and Kitazawa Arugula. With the goal of distributing our produce to big-box stores across the nation, we ensure the highest quality of lettuce growth by utilizing a glass greenhouse with an automated controlled environment and nutrient-filled watering tables to make sure our lettuce is happy and healthy.
