Lancelot Leeks bring elegance to the table with their long, cylindrical white stalks gracefully transitioning into vibrant, flat green leaves. The leeks offer a refined onion-like flavor with a gentle hint of garlic, adding depth and complexity to culinary creations without overwhelming them. Their silky texture after cooking makes them a welcomed addition to a variety of dishes, from silky potato-leek soup and creamy leek quiches to savory pies and braises. These slender vegetables can also be caramelized to a golden perfection or grilled for a subtle charred note. The Lancelot Leek is cherished by chefs and home cooks for its ability to melt into dishes and provide a delicate, sweet essence that enhances the overall flavor profile.
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.
