About Chadwick's Rodan

(Lactuca sativa) Leaf. A beautifully bronze-tinged, loose-leafed lettuce developed by Alan Chadwick, the legendary Biodynamic farming innovator of the mid 20th century. Chadwick greatly influenced the organic farming movement in California and beyond. Chadwick combined techniques of French intensive farming and Biodynamics to create an influential and enduring system that lives on today, including at the Alan Chadwick Garden at UC Santa Cruz, which he established in 1967. Chadwick’s Rodan is perfectly suited for dense plantings to fit into the French intensive gardening style. Sow seeds in bands for loose leaves or set plants 6 inches apart for larger leaves. 60 days to maturity
