Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #24

Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s Preassembled Bag will contain Malabar Spinach, Ahi Dulce Peppers, Pesto Portions of Basil, Carrots, Garlic, Banana Peppers, and Oregano. Orders may now be placed on the online market at: https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

We have reached the point in the year where each day brings noticeably less daylight. Though it is still hot, the edge of Summer feels somehow blunted. Cool mornings laden with the spicy-sweet aroma of ripening walnuts and juniper foretell the coming of Fall. At this time, the aggressive Summer weeds become more reluctant to sprout and managing outdoor plantings becomes easier. The high tunnels become more frequently pleasant to work in. Lots of change-over of planting beds is taking place. Yes, the worst of Summer is likely over, but that also means we are looking backwards at the worst of summer.

The farm had some misses last week. For these, we apologize. We anticipated much better results on our beans, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. Additionally, it was not initially our intention to forego the Paducah Farmers’ Market. Yet the yields just weren’t there. It is hard to talk about failures. They make us question our own competence, and at times, our very identities. Failures tend to blot the successes from our minds and make us forget how far we have come. The CSA membership has grown a lot this year. For that we are grateful, but it has brought with it some growing pains. There are things we have excelled at this year, and others that we have devoted a lot of time to that have come to naught. That is the nature of agriculture. Yields are always looking backwards. So those most difficult parts of the Summer through June and July are reflected by what comes out of the farm right now. There may still be difficult weeks ahead but know that we are pulling together and working diligently towards an excellent Fall.

On the topic of excellence, we have a featured vegetable this week, the Ají Dulce Pepper. This is a sweet variety, with individual peppers ranging from completely heatless towards the lower end of Jalapeño-like heat. You wouldn’t guess that by looking at the Ají Dulce as they resemble their close botanical cousin, the fierce Habanero. What they do share with the Habanero is their distinctive smoky-fruit flavor. If you’ve always wanted to get the delicious flavor of Habanero in a dish without the oppressive heat, this is your pepper! This variety came to us as a suggestion from team member Caroline who recalled them from Venezuela and the cuisine of her youth. We decided to give them a go and they have become remarkable plants. Use them in salsa, roasted peppers, soups, stir-fries, or as cream-cheese stuffed “poppers”. The possibilities for this one are endless, and we hope you fall in love with them the same way that we have!

As always, we thank you for your enduring support of our farm. Through good times and difficult ones, you make what we do possible. Organic agriculture will never be easy, but it is made fulfilling the beautiful souls of our community.

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

Champaign, OH:  Beautiful

You’ve got to get up every morning
With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes you will
That you’re beautiful, as you feel
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I’ve got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don’t see it showing, why do I?
You’ve got to get up every morning
With a smile in your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel
I have often asked myself the reason for sadness
In a world where tears are just a lullaby
If there’s any answer maybe love can end the madness
Maybe not, but we can only try

You’ve got to get up every morning
With a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You’re gonna find, yes you will
That you’re beautiful as you feel…
(Carole King)

This song implant comes to us from weekly customer, Dawn Butcher…she super embodies this song, with her lovely smile, each week, as she waits for us to fill her order, and load her car.

This song also comes from one of my very favorite albums, well worn, from hours of playing. Tapestry will never not be a monumental album to me. And, I had the great pleasure of seeing Carole and James Taylor in concert, years ago, and felt Carole’s amazing energy, and hoped to always exude that same energy, into the world.

The history of this song, and how she came to write it, is also interesting. She did not set out to actually write this song, but instead it started to come to her, as she watched the people surrounding her, one day, on the subway.

But, wow, what a message…and also a but like this market. We never have a clear cut plan, but instead, just go with what feels right for you, the customers, and our lovely vendors…we just want it all to be beautiful for your lovely souls….

The market is open, and as every week, there are new items to explore…go, order. Sundays are the perfect day to reflect on what your favorite items have been, plan ahead for the week, using the market as your guide, and then to order, and sit back, and just be beautiful…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
