Exploring One-Cut Lettuces

Join WSU Clark County Extension at the 78th St. Heritage Farm to view a trial of one-cut type lettuce varieties.

The fully mature head can be harvested for baby-leaf mixes due to the small, uniform, abundant leaves they produce. These varieties can be also can be marketed as a unique head lettuce. Eighteen total Eazyleaf®, Multileaf®, and Salanova® varieties will be on display, and company representatives also will be present to discuss the selections with attendees.
