Review from Achim T.

I grew up in Munich, Germany, back in the '50s and '60s. The produce was as clean and fresh as can be, and my mother served Boston Bibb lettuce nearly every day. Of course, it wasn't called Boston Bibb - we called it "Kopfsalat", meaning "head salad". So, one could say, I know my Boston Bibb, I was raised on it.
After I had come to the States, in 1981, I was introduced to this thing called ice berg lettuce, not bad for certain applications, but pretty flavorless, otherwise.
Fast-forward to the early 2000's, when I first trained my bite on this flavorful gem called Amador Farms Boston Bibb. My peeks turned chink...um...I mean, my cheeks turned pink, and the memories of crunchy greens of my youth rejuvenated my worn corpse into something way more age-appropriate.
What a revelation! Susan and Rusty Staub, owners of Amador Farms, sell IMHO the best bibb around, and then some: Romaine, Arugula, Asian greens, all of it with true flavors you didn't know exist in such greenery. Makes it damn fun to eat healthy.
Find Amador Farms at the Sunset Valley Farmers Market and at select gourmet groceries (Farm to Market) around town. Call 'em for stores in your vicinity.
