Little Leaf Farms files to trademark signature curve of its Baby Crispy Green Leaf Lettuce

Little Leaf Farms, the US brand of packaged lettuce grown through controlled environment agriculture, has announced it has filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to officially trademark the 'biological morphology', aka shape, of its Baby Crispy Green Leaf lettuce. The application to trademark refers to the lettuce's signature shape, a rounded curve leading into the ruffled edges of the leafy greens.

Beyond the distinctive shape, Baby Crispy Green Leaf is known for its fresh, crisp crunch thanks to Little Leaf Farms' advanced greenhouse technologies and commitment to local delivery within 24 hours from harvest.

"We're proud of what we do here at Little Leaf Farms and consistent consumer feedback tells us that our fans love 'spotting' us on restaurant menus and in the produce aisles due to the unmistakable shape of our Baby Crispy Green Leaf variety," said Lindsay Hardie, Vice President of Marketing at Little Leaf Farms. "Consumers have told us time and time again that our lettuce has forever changed their feelings about salad for the better, and that's why we're celebrating our unique, showstopping curvy shape this National Salad Month.

Little Leaf Farms began growing lettuce in its first greenhouse in Devens, Massachusetts, in 2016 and has since expanded its operations to Pennsylvania, with additional plans to continue expansion over the next five years. Little Leaf Farms claims to be the number one brand of packaged CEA lettuce in the USA, as well as the number three brand of all packaged lettuce in the Northeast. In addition to its Baby Crispy Green Leaf, the brand offers Baby Red & Green Leaf, Baby Spring Mix, and its newest lettuce variety, Sweet Baby Butter.
