Little Leaf Farms Is Spreading the Love, Giving 200 Fans Free Lettuce for a Year

DEVENS, Mass., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At a moment of heightened concern around lettuce, Little Leaf Farms, one of the country’s largest1 and fastest-growing packaged salad brands, is receiving something unexpected from consumers: love letters. With the launch of its “Most Loved Lettuce” sweepstakes, the brand is showing its appreciation, giving up to 200 fans a chance to win free lettuce for a year by sharing what they love most about Little Leaf Farms.

The campaign follows a surge in consumer engagement with Little Leaf Farms, as shoppers pay closer attention to where their leafy greens come from and how they are grown. In recent weeks, the brand’s social following has nearly doubled, generating tens of millions of social media impressions and views as consumers share why they trust Little Leaf Farms and its greenhouse-grown approach.

That same consumer enthusiasm is also showing up at grocery store shelves. Over the four weeks ending August 8, the brand reached a record 6.1% share of the national packaged salad category, up from 4% a year ago. Little Leaf Farms sales grew 6% year-over-year during the same period, while the broader category declined 31%2.

Little Leaf Farms is turning the outpouring of support into an opportunity to recognize both new and long-time fans of the brand as they look for a lettuce they can feel good about bringing home.

Beginning August 27, consumers can visit littleleaffarms.com/loveletters to submit a one-sentence love letter, sharing what they love most about Little Leaf Farms, and be entered for a chance to win free lettuce for a year. Fifty winners per week will be selected through September 30.

“Lettuce hasn’t traditionally inspired a lot of love, but our fans have been vocal and enthusiastic about their love for Little Leaf since day one,” said Jeannie Hannigan, Marketing Director at Little Leaf Farms. “Some of our fans have enjoyed and trusted Little Leaf Farms for years, while others are just falling for us now. Whether it’s the crunch, freshness, or the way we grow, we think there’s a lot to love, so we’re inviting fans to tell us why Little Leaf Farms has earned a place not just in their fridge – but in their hearts.”

A “Clean from the Start” Growing Process

Little Leaf Farms grows in state-of-the-art greenhouses designed to deliver consistent quality and freshness 365 days per year. This controlled environment enables Little Leaf Farms to grow with no pesticides and ensures that every drop of water entering the greenhouse is fully purified to eliminate any potential pathogens. Little Leaf Farms’ automated growing system allows its greens to be seeded, grown, harvested, and packaged without ever being touched by human hands, which in combination with water management, is a key component of the company’s “Clean From the Start” growing approach.

“We made the decision from the beginning to grow lettuce differently because we’ve always believed consumers shouldn’t have to settle when it comes to their leafy greens,” said Paul Sellew, Founder and CEO of Little Leaf Farms. “Our growing process is built around precision and control at every stage, creating the conditions for our lettuce to thrive and allowing us to deliver the quality and freshness consumers deserve with every harvest.”

Analytics tools combine job seeker sentiment and labor market data to help employers make smarter, more informed recruiting decisions

FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — iHire has expanded its suite of recruitment analytics and insights tools, giving employers and recruiters easy access to actionable, real-time data on candidate availability, hiring demand, and job seeker sentiment. With its Hiring Market Insights and Candidate Insights dashboards, iHire’s analytics tools empower organizations to make smarter, more informed hiring decisions as they connect with industry-focused talent.

Hiring Market Insights

iHire’s Hiring Market Insights feature helps employers understand the supply and demand of candidates in their target markets by pulling information from iHire’s active candidate and job databases into a digestible view. Employers can analyze specific skills and job titles and filter results at the metro, state, or nationwide level.

The dashboard provides three metrics:

Candidate Supply Percentage: The percentage of active candidates in a selected market who include a particular skill or job title in their iHire profile.Job Demand Percentage: The percentage of active jobs in the selected market that mention the job title or required skill.Hiring Opportunity: These metrics compare candidate availability to job demand within your selected market, based on iHire’s data. Higher values suggest more available talent relative to demand.

In addition, the Hiring Market Insights feature advises users on how to put their data into action – based on the patterns they uncover, hiring teams can identify opportunities to adjust their job postings, targeting, and recruiting strategies.

Candidate Insights

iHire’s Candidate Insights tool gives employers an inside look at the priorities, preferences, and perspectives of today’s job seekers. The data is shared from iHire’s on-site surveys that poll actual candidates on topics such as job search challenges, employment dealbreakers, AI, talent pipelining, and more.

Interactive visualizations allow employers to review candidate responses and, when sufficient data is available, analyze industry-specific metrics from their preferred iHire talent community. Employers can also compare industry-level results with benchmark data from candidates across iHire’s network. With these metrics, hiring managers and recruiters can improve their job postings and better align their messaging with candidate expectations. For example, if candidates said a job posting that mentions flexible schedules influences their decision to apply, employers who offer that benefit can be sure it’s included in their ad.

“By bringing candidate perspectives and hiring market trends together, our expanded analytics suite gives employers a clear picture of the talent landscape,” said Kyle Gamble, iHire’s VP of Product. “With that knowledge, they can make more strategic decisions about how and where they recruit to stay competitive and keep their businesses moving forward.”

Registered employers can access both Hiring Market and Candidate Insights by signing in to their iHire account and visiting the “Analytics” tab on their dashboard, while anyone can view iHire’s Hiring Market Insights at www.ihire.com/employers/tools/hiringmarketinsights.
