Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #6

Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s preassembled bag will include Arugula, Bok Choi, Green Onions, Iron Man Kale Mix, ButterHead Lettuce, Lemon Balm and Parsley . Custom orders can be placed on the website at https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market
If this week had a lesson, it’s that you can’t rely on the weather. Paducah’s and Caldwell County’s Farmer’s Market opening was postponed due to impending thunderstorms, but the rain never came! In lieu of this, our friends at Branch Out were kind enough to invite us to set up for the soft opening of their new restaurant on 713 Kentucky Ave. in Paducah. Be sure to them out if you’re in Paducah; Branch Out specializes in vegan and gluten free foods, and their grand opening scheduled for May 23.
On the farm this week we have been getting our tomato tunnel planted and ready for production. The outdoor plantings of greens are starting to look really good and we’re excited to be able to put some new salad mixes on the site over the next couple of weeks. Seeding of plants in the new greenhouse continues, and we’ve of course been trying our best to work around the rain outside.
Our highlighted vegetable this week is Bok Choy (or Pac Choi). Like Tatsoi, this vegetable is from the Asian Group of Brassica family plants. However, unlike tatsoi that forms a rosette of numerous leaves, bok choy produces few very large leaves with enlarged succulent stems forming a sort of “bulb” shape at the base of the plant. These stems are crisp and delicious with or without their leafy tops. They can be used in raw salads, soups, or stir fries. Customers have told us they are a good “stringless” substitute for celery. We hope you enjoy this vegetable, and you can feel good about eating it because it’s rich in Vitamins C and K.
Sweet-and-Sour Bok Choy
Oyster sauce and a pinch of sugar add caramel flavor and color to the bok choy. A little butter turns the sauce into a glaze. This side would be excellent with a spicy main like a Szechuan-style stir-fry or a chile-laden sauce for meat or fish.
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1/8 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 pound quartered baby bok choy
• 1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
How to Make It
• Step 1
• Combine rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl. Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add bok choy; cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
• Step 2
• Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add oyster sauce mixture and unsalted butter; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Sprinkle with fresh basil.

Spicy Grilled Kale with Parmesan Recipe
Yield: 2 – 4 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Spicy and savory kale topped with freshly grated Parmesan and red pepper flakes.
Ingredients:
1 – 5 oz. container of baby kale
1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt (to taste) (optional)
Drizzle of balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
Light your grill. When it is hot, place grill grid on the grill surface so that it can reach the temperature of the grill.
Place baby kale in a large bowl and toss with olive oil. It looks like a lot, but kale REALLY cooks down.
Place baby kale on grill grid as shown. Use tongs to move it around on the surface of grid…keep it moving and don’t leave the grill. In a few minutes it will be ready.
Transfer to serving dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
We are trying to cut down on salt, so I personally don’t add salt, I let the Parmesan lend a dash of salty flavor. Also, you can add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice before serving if you’d like.

As always, we thank you for your support of our farm. We’re so happy to be serving you and building community here in Western Kentucky.

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

CLG:  Cheese, Microgreens, Lettuce, Radishes, Onions!

Good afternoon!
A note about shiitake mushrooms. Our shiitake mushrooms are grown on oak logs at Sweden Creek Farm in Kingston, Arkansas. They have had an unusually wet and cold couple of months and they anticipate fewer shiitakes will be available this month.

Microgreens are now available from Bell Urban Farm, and Tammy Sue is back with a huge selection of goat milk soaps and other items. They are very mild and smell amazing!

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 12th. Look around the market and you might find some nice gifts, such as jam, jelly, soap, plants, honey. At market pick up this coming Friday, Maria will be on hand with a wide selection of products, including chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered strawberries.

Check out the great selection of cheese. Very limited quantities, so get yours now! Search “lettuce” or “onion” to see all the varieties listed this week.

This is barbecue weather! Plan to grill for dinner one day this week by getting some delicious local meat. Lots of great bratwurst, chops, and beef available now.

We have quite a few flower, herb, and vegetable plants available. Use keyword: PLANT to see what we have.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. We have over 700 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!

Fostering Hope has furnished us with a list of current needs. If you would like to help with any of the following please bring them to the Hortons Farm/Fostering Hope tent on Thursday. Your tax deductable gift will go toward helping a foster/adopting family and children starting a new life.
