Strawberries are the quintessential summer fruit, boasting a vibrant red hue and a conical shape that tapers to a delicate point. Each strawberry is adorned with a pattern of tiny seeds on its surface and crowned with a bright green leafy cap. They emit a sweet and inviting aroma that complements their juicy, succulent texture and the harmonious blend of sweetness and tang they offer with every bite. Strawberries are enjoyed fresh, sliced atop cereals or in salads, and are equally delightful when baked into desserts or transformed into jams and compotes. They are not just a treat for the taste buds but also provide beneficial nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, and antioxidants.
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.
