Black Krim Heirloom Tomatoes captivate with their deep, dark red to purple skin, highlighted with greenish-black shoulders. These tomatoes boast a slightly flattened globe shape, an heirloom quality, and characteristic cracking around the stem that testifies to their rich heritage and intense flavor profile. The flesh reveals a succulent, juicy texture paired with a sweet, smoky, and slightly salty taste that distinguishes them from other tomato varieties. Popularly used fresh in salads, these tomatoes also make an excellent choice for adding a burst of dramatic color and complex flavor to sandwiches, salsas, and gourmet presentations. Their dense and meaty texture stands up well to grilling and roasting, making Black Krim Heirloom Tomatoes a prized element in culinary creations, from rustic pastas to elegant entrees.
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.
