We’re excited to share that Food & Wine recently featured insight from Dominique Kline of The Hope Farm in an article focused on keeping leafy greens fresh longer. Written by Liv Dansky and published on March 7, 2026, the story explores expert-recommended ways to prep and store lettuce and other greens so they stay crisp and usable for longer.

In the article, Food & Wine gathers advice from chefs, gardeners, and food experts on how to reduce spoilage and extend the life of leafy greens. The feature emphasizes that excess moisture is one of the biggest causes of wilting and slime, making proper washing, drying, and storage especially important.

Dominique shares that a reliable salad spinner is one of the best tools for preserving greens, pointing to the Kahuna Gear Saladzilla as a smart option, especially for kitchens where storage space is limited because it folds down compactly after use. She also recommends lining a food storage container with a dry towel to absorb excess moisture and swapping the towel out as needed.

The article also includes one of Dominique’s most practical tips: if greens begin to dry out instead of staying crisp, switching from a dry towel to a slightly damp towel can help rebalance the humidity inside the container. It’s a simple adjustment that can make a big difference in extending freshness while reducing waste.

We love seeing The Hope Farm included in conversations that connect everyday kitchen habits with thoughtful food stewardship. Read the full Food & Wine feature here.
