Heirloom Tomatoes are a vibrant and eclectic collection of tomatoes, celebrated for their rich array of colors, shapes, and flavors. Unlike their hybrid counterparts, these gems are often passed down through generations and known for their characteristic irregularities and variations that make each fruit unique. From deep red to sunset orange, dusky purple to green with streaks of gold, Heirloom Tomatoes provide an eye-catching addition to any dish. They range from the size of a cherry to that of a grapefruit and have a more complex flavor profile — sweet, tangy, and sometimes smoky. Sliced fresh, they can elevate a simple sandwich or a colorful salad; roasted or grilled, they deepen in flavor for pasta dishes and salsas. They are not only a source of vitamin C and potassium but also rich in antioxidants like lycopene. Heirloom Tomatoes are a bright and flavorful choice capturing the essence of summer in every bite.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
