Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA 1


CSA WEEK 1

Dear CSAers,
We missed you over the past month! As promised, CSA deliveries will resume this week with our first delivery on Thursday, April 4. Many of you have reached out to us over the past couple of days and it’s been really gratifying to hear your enthusiasm. We hope you enjoy the offerings on the site this week. Spring will start very greens forward and our selection will continue to expand throughout the season. We invite you to enjoy the bounty of seasonal local eating.

It’s been a busy month here with bed preparation, seeding, and greenhouse renovation. We also spent some time repairing damage to two of our structures from the violent windstorms that swept the area on March 14. Though it was a harrowing day, the team was able to pull together and minimize the damage. Being resilient and adaptable is one of the things that agriculture really requires of us. Seeing our team grow in these areas is truly rewarding. To be as transparent as we can, we will be sourcing a few items from the Nashville organic veggie farmers. We did have damage and it took time to repair and reseed. We anticipate it will only be a few weeks until we are back up and running at full capacity.
A vegetable that we would like to highlight this week is our cabbage. We have two different cabbages available right now. ‘Caraflex’ our cone shaped cabbage variety graced some bags before the March intermission and the heads are now even larger. New are our ‘Savoy’ cabbages, which have a uniquely textured leaf, reminiscent of the Tuscan Kale. ‘Savoy’ is perhaps milder than ‘Caraflex’ but both are delicious and wonderful. They are well suited to slaws, boiling, or my favorite, stir fried with a bit of bacon.
We’re so thankful for your support and being patient through the March interim. We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up and are really thrilled to be bringing you fresh local vegetables again.
Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

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


Good Morning, Market is Open with many great items.

From Our Growers:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Many of Dogwood Valley Greenhouse’s early-spring flowering plants are in bloom and have been added to this week’s market. I’ve also added a couple of very early azaleas and will be adding more as they come into bloom, so watch for that changing list. This would be the perfect time to add some spring color to your garden! The weather is great for planting perennials and shrubs, but please don’t buy your tomatoes or peppers yet! (We will have those in about three weeks.)

Trinity Rose Oberhasli Dairy Goats will not be able to be on the market this week due to illness.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: has delicious Pork items available this week.

Mo’s Scrubs by Toya: Added CBD Massage Oil, this all natural massage oil along with other essential oils to help relax your body and boost your mood.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farm): Has added Claytonia perfoliata, also known as Indian lettuce, spring beauty, winter purslane, or miner’s lettuce, it resembles spinach in taste and composition. Eat with or as a substitute for lettuce or spinach, in salads and in sandwiches, mixed with your choice of nuts, meats, fruits, dressings, cheeses, or whatever you desire. Pairs well with any of our gourmet mustards. Also Easter Bath Fizzies and Foot Soak Fizzies!

Flying S Farms: has Baby Leaf Turnip greens again this week along with their Egg-cellent Egg Special, buy 2 or more and receive $1 off each additional dozen you buy.

Farrar Farm LLC and Wedge Oak Farm are back on the market this week.

Our Sympathy to Casey Reed’s of 6R Farms family. Unfortunate deaths of both his Grandfathers and then his Mother over the past 3 weeks.

CLG:  Opening Bell: Strawberries, Lettuce, Spinach, Sausage!


Good afternoon!

Freeze warning tonight! Temps tonight will be around freezing so take action now to protect any tomato or pepper plants you may have in your gardens.

The green garlic is just starting to bulb and is really taking off. Get a bundle of 5 stalks and try this delicious spring treat in something for dinner this week.

Kenny’s doing it again! Save a bundle on a 25 pound box of eggs from Drewry Orchards this week. It is literally a box with 25 pounds of fresh eggs. A pound of eggs is between six and 10 eggs so this is around 200 fresh eggs. Share some with your family and neighbors and they’ll love you forever. ! We have egg cartons so you can package them into dozens right at the market. Deviled eggs, boiled eggs, omelettes, quiche, fried eggs, poundcake. The possibilities are endless!

At Cedar Rock Ridge this week, we divided our 5-year-old Solomon’s Seal plant, so 13 potted starts are now available well-rooted and ready to grow in your garden. At pickup on Friday we will have orange marigolds, yellow marigolds, and burgundy halo vinca plants in 4-packs on the extras table. Marigolds placed around your garden attract pollinators and deter pests. With marigolds, more is better. Here’s a WEBLOG special. Text me if you are interested in 18 four-packs of plants for only $20. That’s 72 marigold or vinca plants! Plant some for yourself, and give away 4-packs to your gardening friends and neighbors.

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!

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

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