Green Beans, with their crisp texture and vibrant green hue, are a beloved garden vegetable. These slender, elongated pods encase small seeds and boast a tender yet firm bite. Their fresh, grassy flavor shines in a variety of culinary applications—blanched and tossed in a zesty salad, stir-fried with a medley of colorful vegetables, or simply steamed and sprinkled with toasted almonds for an elegant side dish. Rich in vitamins like C and K and packed with fiber, Green Beans are both a healthy and versatile choice for any meal, adding a pop of color and a crunch that's pleasantly satisfying.
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.
