Yuma Produces 90% of Our Leafy Greens in Winter
Yuma produces 90% of our leafy greens for the U.S. in the winter and they do it with efficient irrigation systems. Climate, labor, water, technology, and infrastructure mean Yuma production cannot be replicated anywhere else in the country during winter.
