Planting of iceberg lettuce plants starts at the end of February. The planting schedule runs until the end of August. During this period, plants are added on a weekly basis.

In mid-May, the harvest season for Dutch iceberg lettuce starts. The harvesting team starts cutting the iceberg lettuce early in the morning. Straight after cutting, the iceberg lettuce is packaged and put in boxes according to customer specification.
The full harvesting carts are driven to the modern cold storage, immediately after harvesting. In the cold storage, an automated process follows, which cools the iceberg lettuce back to 3 degrees Celsius using a vacuum cooler. Once the iceberg lettuce has reached the right temperature, it is ready for direct delivery to the customer.
