Parsley is a culinary cornerstone, prized for its bright green, feather-like leaves and clean, lightly peppery flavor with a hint of earthiness. This versatile herb acts as more than just a plate garnish – it serves as a fundamental ingredient in a variety of dishes from across the globe. Employed generously in sauces like chimichurri, garnishing salads, enhancing the flavors of soups and stews, or mixed into doughs for a speckled bread, parsley is deeply entrenched in culinary traditions. Its fresh, slightly bitter taste complements a myriad of ingredients such as garlic, lemon, and olive oil, and is rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and antioxidants, adding a nutritional boost wherever it is used.
Mitch Lawson's farm, located on the fertile flood plains of the Oostanuala River in Northwest Georgia, has been growing certified organic produce since 2004. Very few other Georgia farms have such a longstanding tenure of organic certification. The 30 acres under cultivation is a lot to manage, but Mitch and his team make it look easy! Growing from only 2 acres back in the mid 2000's, Rise 'N Shine now produces over 40 types of organic fruits and veggies each year.
