Dill, with its delicate, feathery fronds and aromatic scent, exudes a refreshingly herby fragrance with a hint of citrus. When it blooms, dill bears wispy, yellow flowers that form in umbrella-like clusters. Its svelte, soft leaves are a staple in many dishes, notably used to season fish, lamb, and potato salads, or to enhance the flavors of dips, spreads, and soups. Rich in antioxidants, dill can add not just a burst of flavor but also a touch of greenery to any dish, as well as vitamin A and C. Whether fresh or dried, dill is a flavorful component that brightens up a culinary experience.
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.
