We make it easy to grow nutritiously alive produce at home, enabling you to change the planet – and your life! Lettuce Grow was born out of a desire to reconnect people with the foods we grow and eat. For generations, growing was part of the American identity. Now, it is delegated and outsourced to less than 1% of the population. As a result, people are consuming without understanding where their food comes from or its nutritional value. Our mission is to advance America’s transition to a sustainable food system, because we believe everyone can grow. From your first harvest, you’ll see just how much goodness you get, from every fresh, nourishing veggie, to the satisfaction of knowing you’re doing right by your family -- and the planet.

The Lettuce Grow App

Check out the Lettuce Grow app for iOS and Android! Use it to access your My Farm account, visit our resource center, order seedlings, use your phone's camera for Plant ID, and more.

My Farm

My Farm is your Lettuce Grow home base! Here you'll find account settings, seedling delivery updates, report seedling order issues, your referral code, and suggestions for Farmstand refills.

Part of how we make growing your own food easy is by using data. Our Horticulture and Tech teams collaborate to build a system that takes into account historical weather data, seasonality, and your location to provide you with a dashboard that helps you understand what's growing and when it'll be ready.
