Crisp and refreshing, cucumbers are a hydrating favorite perfect for salads, sandwiches, and healthy snacking. With their cool, subtly sweet flesh and edible green rind, cucumbers offer a satisfying crunch characteristic of garden-fresh produce. These cylindrical, light to deep green vegetables are also a hit in the culinary world, starring in chilled soups, tangy pickles, and Mediterranean tzatziki. Rich in water content and containing a modest helping of vitamin K, cucumbers are an excellent choice for adding volume to meals without the extra calories, making them ideal for weight management and digestive health.
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.
