Wholeaves® are premium lettuce leaves that are individually selected, separated from the core with a patented “no-cut” system, meticulously washed and carefully packed. Mills Family Farms Wholeaves® stand alone in freshness and consistency and are available year-round. Mills Family Farms patented “no-cut” method seals in freshness (when handled properly the product can stay fresh up to 21 days!) and eliminates the use of preservatives.

Each leaf is gently hand-separated from the core, leaving its vital tissue naturally intact. The patented method protects every leaf from dehydration and leaf shock that can occur with processing methods when lettuce is chopped or cut. Each leaf is kept whole allowing the vegetable’s natural quality, nutrients and delicious flavor to remain unchanged.

Mills Family Farms, based in Salinas, California, is a privately owned, vertically integrated grower/shipper—thus all aspects of growing, harvesting, processing, and shipping are tightly monitored against the highest standards. For almost half a century, they have been supplying the foodservice industry, retailers, wholesalers, and brokers nationwide with quality lettuce and a wide variety of Western vegetables.
