Brown Turkey Figs captivate the senses with their velvety skin, radiating a deep purplish-brown hue that ripens to a softer shade. Ripe figs are tender to the touch, showcasing a sweet, pink-tinged flesh that harbors a delightfully jammy texture and a wealth of tiny, edible seeds. The figs' natural sweetness develops complexity through notes of honey and a slight nuttiness, making them perfect for fresh eating as well as in sophisticated culinary creations. Their succulence complements cheese platters, enhances savory dishes, and elevates desserts, such as tarts and ice creams. Nutritiously, these delectable fruits offer dietary fiber, potassium, and an assortment of essential vitamins, providing a guilt-free indulgence for those with a sweet tooth.
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.
