Lemongrass Stalks boast tall, aromatic shoots with a distinctly lemony fragrance that defines Southeast Asian cuisine. These pale green stalks taper into a rough bulbous end, with tender inner cores that are widely cherished in culinary uses. Often bruised or finely chopped, Lemongrass releases a citrusy essence with hints of ginger, used to perfume teas, soups, curries, and marinades. Its refreshing aroma and subtle tang elevate the flavors of chicken, seafood, beef, and an array of vegetables. Lemongrass is also acclaimed in traditional medicinal practices for its potential soothing properties and is a delightful addition to homemade skincare concoctions for its enticing scent.
Just a few minutes down the road from the Fresh Harvest office and warehouse, there's a small piece of property on a pond in the woods. Farmer Cody Burnett faithfully manages the cultivation of this land with his team of farmhands from the Clarkston community. Together they plant and harvest an inordinate amount of organically grown produce, both for Fresh Harvest customers and for the Share the Harvest Market in Clarkston. Growing culturally relevant food for refugees from around the world means that the Fresh Harvest Garden looks a bit different than most Georgia farms, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
