If watered properly, produce will last 2-3 weeks on your counter, and basically forever in your fridge see plant care instructions.

You can store produce on your counter or in your fridge. Regardless of where you store your produce, watering your Aha Alive plant will extend its life! To begin, place your plant in a cookie sheet, bowl, or tray with water. And, you’re done! You can’t give the lettuce too much water. Simply refill the water periodically, and the plant will drink from the tray when it’s thirsty!

Oh no, we’re so sorry to hear that! Because our lettuces are still alive, they’re really resilient. Pop the lettuce into a tray of water, and it will perk right up!

We did a longevity study with Michigan State University, where our lettuce lasted more than three times longer than our competitors. The test was done with the lettuce in the refrigerator, without any watering.

We conducted nutritional testing of our lettuce and of the top three brands of the same lettuce in the USA. This testing was done with Eurofins, a trusted worldwide laboratory testing company. Compared to field grown romaine and greenhouse grown butter lettuce, Aha Alive produce has 2x more Vitamin C and A.

Yes! All of the above. They’re non-GMO and Safe Grown, as well.

Absolutely not, they’re still alive!

Absolutely not, we don’t put anything on our greens!

It came out of the surprise that many people had when they saw and tasted our produce. Our produce is still alive and growing. Why isn’t it that way for all food? Industry has optimized food to squeeze every penny out of the system, which means green tomatoes, bananas, and pineapples. We eat food that isn’t harvested at peak perfection.

We started growing produce on Maui to supply the island with fresh produce. They get produce that’s often been sitting in a shipping container on the ocean for more than a week. We grew the freshest produce for Maui, and decided to bring that to the mainland USA.

Awesome, we can’t wait to hear from you! Please reach out at hello@ahaaliveproduce.com.

You can learn all about how we grow our produce on our How We Grow page, where we go in-depth on our vertical farming practices.

Yes, we grow our produce indoors and give the plants everything they need to flourish: water, nutrients, light, and even a farmer in the form of a computer! You can learn more about our AI Bot and automated farming practices here on How We Grow page

We’re a small brand that’s just starting, and our way of growing produce is more involved than others. For example, we have to purchase pods for every single head of lettuce that we grow.

Our packaging works within a store’s distribution systems. It protects the lettuce from being crushed and allows it to be merchandised on the produce retail shelves. We envision a future where we sell our lettuce without any plastic packaging, and are working hard to make that dream come true.

Our plastic clamshell is #1 PET and is recyclable in most municipal recycling. Our pod is also made from #1 PET—empty the dirt and roots from it, give it a quick rinse, and recycle in your municipal recycling. Our paper band is also recyclable in municipal recycling. Our packaging is not made with recycled material.
