Food somehow tastes better when made by someone else. This little idiom’s tallest tower is the restaurant table, where you trust someone behind the kitchen door to know far more than you about maximizing the potential of each ingredient.
Pack that image up to go, put it on a grocery shelf, and you have Church Brothers Farms Little Gems salad kits.
Standing in its strongly established foodservice footprint, the grower is bringing what it has learned from restaurant demand to retail offerings with the wisdom that food trends often begin on a menu. While there is a healthy mix of tradition found in available flavors like Caesar, there are also exciting new spins like Creamy Chipotle, Champagne, and—my kind of flavor profile—Miso Ginger.
Each kit features whole-leaf Little Gem lettuce, dressings made with avocado oil, and smaller proportioned 8.5 oz bags to reduce food waste. On the back of the pack is a “Boost Your Plate” protein call-out spreading further inspiration.
And Church is expanding the salad category’s reach not just in the ingredients, but the structure and presentation of its kits. Looking to tap both the consumers already ordering Gem-based salads as well as those looking to shake up their salad experience, the kits stand out on the shelf by bringing a beige bag that offers contrast to the value-added section.
For shoppers who want restaurant expertise packed and prepped for them to bring home, this new line is one ready to pick up the check.
