Mint, with its refreshing and sharp aroma, immediately conjures images of lush greenery and cool, tingling freshness. The leaves exude a crisp, clean taste with a soothing, cool finish that livens up a myriad of dishes and beverages. These vibrant green leaves are delicate yet hardy, with distinct, serrated edges that add as much visual appeal to a dish as flavor. Mint is indispensable in cuisines worldwide, making its way into sauces, salads, and drinks—from creamy tzatziki and bright mojitos to a simple, revitalizing mint tea. In addition to its culinary versatility, mint is cherished for its potential digestive and soothing benefits, making it a household favorite not just for its taste but for its gentle, therapeutic properties.
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.
