Rainbow Chard stands out in the greens department with its showcase of vibrant, multi-colored stalks - from bold pink to sunny yellow and deep red. Its broad, dark green leaves are delicately veined and possess a flavor profile that marries the bitterness of kale with the saltiness of spinach. A visual feast as well as a nutritional powerhouse, Rainbow Chard cooks down into a tender, buttery texture perfect for sautés, stews, and gratins. It's also delightful when chopped fresh in salads or as a colorful garnish. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like magnesium and iron, Rainbow Chard is as beneficial to health as it is striking on the plate.
Mitch Lawson's farm, located on the fertile flood plains of the Oostanuala River in Northwest Georgia, has been growing certified organic produce since 2004. Very few other Georgia farms have such a longstanding tenure of organic certification. The 30 acres under cultivation is a lot to manage, but Mitch and his team make it look easy! Growing from only 2 acres back in the mid 2000's, Rise 'N Shine now produces over 40 types of organic fruits and veggies each year.
