Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #34


Dear CSA-ers,
This week’s CSA will contain Arugula, Butternut Squash (Amish Grown), Mixed Kale, Carrots, and Radishes, . Custom orders may be placed between now and Tuesday evening on the at http://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

Welcome back! We hope you all had a good Thanksgiving holiday or have at least managed to get through another one. This can be a trying time of year on many fronts, and we are certainly not immune from the hectic-ness of the holiday here on the farm. Nevertheless, there are 3 more CSA bags left in the year, and we are both proud and grateful to be delivering fresh, locally grown vegetables so far into December.
Since the last newsletter, the team attended a day-long FSMA training which stands for “Food Safety and Modernization Act.” This is a broad Obama era policy just now coming into effect. The goal of FSMA training is to increase safety in the food industry, particularly in regards to preventing foodborne illness incidents (like those plaguing Romaine lettuce at the grocery). Much of FSMA is common sense, and a large portion of it relates to water-use practices that we do not use. Nonetheless we are always striving towards best-practices and seminars like this help us become a better farm.
This week’s featured vegetable is the radish. Radishes are really hip right now, and it’s no wonder because there are so many exciting new varieties. This year alone, we’ve put 5 varieties in bags ‘Sora’ (the classic round, red and white), ‘French Breakfast’ (the long finger-like red and white), ‘Pearl’ (round, solid white), ‘Watermelon’ (large round, green exterior, bright pink interior), and ‘Plum’ (medium, solid purple). Radishes are excellent for health as they contain Vitamin C and a smattering of trace minerals. Additionally, the peppery taste is caused by the presence of compounds that some preliminary scientific evidence suggests may be active against certain cancers and pathogens (particularly yeasts). This week’s bag will contain the ‘Plum’ radishes, and we invite you to “think outside the salad” and broaden your culinary horizons. Radishes are excellent roasted, in stir-fries, and as soups. The tops may also be cooked as greens.
As always, we thank you for your support of our farm. We are beginning to plan for next year and hope that you will join us for the 2020 season. Have a great week!

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

Good afternoon!

With Thanksgiving in behind us, now we are gearing up for Christmas about 3 weeks away! We will have 3 markets this month: 12/6, 12/13, and 12/20.

Remember to feed our feathered friends during the colder months when fewer bugs are available. We will have suet cakes for birds on the extras table every Friday for only $1.

We’ve been having a lot of excellent items on the extra table lately. Earlier shoppers get the best selection. We are normally ready for customers to start arriving around 3 PM if you happen to be out and in the area. Just text me to see if we’re ready.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Four instance, type in the word “sale” and see what pops up. We have over 400 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Stones River Market:  Market is OPEN -- See you Wednesday


Welcome to this weeks Market. The Market opens 8am on Sunday Morning and closes 10 pm Monday evening. Order early before quantities available run out! www.stonesriver.locallygrown.net

Think about “Stocking UP” during the next 3 markets. There are only 3 Markets left for 2019. The Market will be closed the week of Christmas and New Years and will reopen January 5th 2020!

News From Our Growers:

Stones River Market: Can’t decide what to get a friend, family, teacher for Christmas and/or the New Year…think GIFT CERTIFICATES to the Market! Let’s them select what they want from our list of Growers.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: We hope everyone enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends. Now that we have all had our fill of turkey, let’s think about pork! Cutlets, chops, shoulder roasts, and sausages are available again this week. As always, out pork is natural, non-GMO, and raised outdoors. * Please note: Our current products come from an especially lean breed, so we recommend marinades and cooking methods with oils and broths that will bring moisture to these cuts.

Farrar Farm LLC: We are having a RIB SALE this week. Short Ribs and Korean style ribs for $5.00 a pound! 2 pound minimum. Use the quantity selection to select the approximate number of pounds you want and the price will be adjusted at checkout.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): We have some tasty arugula for salads and your favorite cooking choices. Also check out our shrub concentrates for a delicious sweet/sour drink or salad/dessert enhancement. Our herbal honeys make anything taste excellent – especially leftovers.

Crossing Creeks Farm: Returning this week with 110% Grass-fed Ground Beef, Pasture Raised Chicken and Delicious Bone Broth.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: We have a good selection of wrapped Christmas cacti and African violets for gift-giving, or just to add some color to your own holiday decorations. I’m trying to keep the availability updated to reflect the plants currently in bloom. But if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask.

Here’s a teaser: just think – it’s only about two months till daffodil time! I may have some surprises for you this year (no promises). But first, we’ll have to survive whatever wintry goodness Mother Nature throws our way. The woolly bear caterpillars say it’s going to be a hard one!

Wedge Oak Farm: Chicken and Duck Eggs along with Holiday Goose, Pekin Duck, Pork and Chicken along with our Specialty Sausages, Brats and Bacon.

Spring Meadow Farm: There is always room for PIES! We have Bacon Cheese Quiche along with several pies that will compliment your Holiday and any meal: Chess, Chocolate, Coconut Cream, Lemon Meringue, Pecan and Pumpkin.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Apples available this week; Mutsu and Yellow Delicious.

Flying S Farms: Plenty of our Jams and Jelly in stock for the Holiday Season.

Valentine Family Farm: We will be closing our sales until spring. We had a good season this year. And were grateful for our customers. Happy Holidays.

Caney Fork Farms: Our Winter Season schedule with the Market will be monthly, delivering on December 18th, January 22nd, February 26th and March 25th, returning weekly in April 2020.
