Stinging nettle is traditionally known to strengthen and support the body’s natural processes as its rich in essential vitamins and trace minerals. We love adding nettle to meals, into spice blends, and as a soup base via steeped herbal infusion. The sting is lost through processing, including cooking or drying and milling.
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.
