The flagship of our produce line, Foxy Lettuce is grown in the rich soil of Salinas, Imperial, San Joaquin and Yuma Valleys.
In these ideal environments, Nunes growers plant a variety of seed types to produce healthy lettuce each season of the year.
To assure the large, uniform heads that are the hallmark of Foxy Lettuce, farmers plant the seedlings with generous ground space, and carefully administer appropriate soil amendments, fertilizers and irrigation.
At harvest, all Foxy lettuce is field-packed to maximize freshness. Source-wrapped lettuce is trimmed in the field to return otherwise wasted leaves to the soil as mulch. The packaged lettuce is then promptly cooled by Nunes Cooling, Inc.'s vacuum cooling process, a state-of-the-art system which quickly and gently extracts field heat and brings each head to an optimum 33-34 degrees.
