America's Heartland

“Everything in a Salad” Farm

Visit a lettuce and herb farm that grows just about “everything in a salad.” The Ratto family immigrated to America from Italy in 1878. Ratto Brothers was founded by Antone Ratto, who was known as the "Market Man" delivering vegetables to customers with a horse drawn carriage – the company's logo today.
