Rainbow Chard stands out in the greens department with its showcase of vibrant, multi-colored stalks - from bold pink to sunny yellow and deep red. Its broad, dark green leaves are delicately veined and possess a flavor profile that marries the bitterness of kale with the saltiness of spinach. A visual feast as well as a nutritional powerhouse, Rainbow Chard cooks down into a tender, buttery texture perfect for sautés, stews, and gratins. It's also delightful when chopped fresh in salads or as a colorful garnish. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like magnesium and iron, Rainbow Chard is as beneficial to health as it is striking on the plate.
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.
