Ro-Minis are back! Cute and compact, Ro-Minis (baby romaine hearts) pack the crunch of iceberg and sweet
flavor of romaine into one small, tightly enveloped head. About the size of Belgian endive, this baby romaine is more petite than others like it on the market. Filet and grill, or use the leaves as cups or wraps for your choice of dressing and toppings. Its leaves hold up well to heat and all kinds of dressing so feel free to get creative with this unique lettuce! Call your sales for more details and availability.

Chef's Corner
Marissa Oliver Horton
The last couple months we've had the pleasure to work with Marissa Oliver Horton who we met at New York Produce Show. Learn more about Marissa below!
At 8 years old, Marissa Oliver Horton's parents finally relented and agreed that she could become a vegetarian. So began a 25 year journey of exploring nutrition and experimenting in the kitchen. Growing up in Woodstock New York, she was heavily influenced by many facets of art and holistic approaches to health. Carrying a little red Canon point and shoot around wherever she went, she captured the world around her. Spending most of her high school years in the darkroom and art classes, she continued exercising her creativity at Sarah Lawrence College. Spending time living in NYC and Los Angeles, as well as traveling, further expanded her culinary palate which influences many of the dishes she now creates. In 2009, she and her husband bought an old Victorian house in the Hudson Valley and put down roots; literally digging up the backyard and planting an extensive garden full of herbs to use in her cooking. Welcoming their daughter into their family only increased the focus on healthy eating and continued to perpetuate Marissa's recipe development. She scours farmers markets, local grocers and specialty shops on the hunt for spices, fresh herbs and unique colorful produce to use in the recipes she dreams up. Last spring, she found a way to marry her love of art and cooking in the creation of her Instagram page @morethangranola which inspired her to begin working on a cookbook. She looks forward to continuing her journey as a self-taught vegetarian chef, food stylist and photographer. Stay tuned!
