This herb is neither anise nor hyssop, but a member of the mint family. Anise hyssop is native to North America and has historically been appreciated for its incredible floral aroma, as well as its nutritive and astringent properties. The aroma and taste are uplifting and exceptionally pleasant. Add the herb to tea blends, sweet treats, salad dressings, or hang in the home as potpourri.
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.
