Description:

Batavian lettuces are heirloom varieties that were developed in France. Today, they are also grown outdoors in Italy and Western Switzerland, in greenhouses in Holland and Germany, and by our own favorite grower in Ventura County. The Batavian variety pictured here is SIERRA. An heirloom Batavian with thick-fleshed, slightly curly leaves with a crisp and crunchy texture, Sierra is recognizable for its tall open heads with bright green leaves with red tips. Sierra lettuce can be ordered in cartons of six heads, or as a component of the mixed heirloom lettuce carton, along with two of the other heirloom lettuce varieties.
