Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!

Sorry for the delay in opening Foothills Market this week. We’ve been talking about ways we can adjust what we do with the market to meet the best practices suggested by the Arkansas Farmers Market Association and the Coalition for Obesity Prevention.

To meet those guidelines, we are planning on implementing the following policies, starting with next week’s market:

• We will have a drive-up market. There is no need for you to get out of your car; we will bring your order to you and place it in the car.
• We will be setting up an online payment option for the market, and we encourage you to use it. To cover the cost of the online system, we will include a surcharge on your order (We are trying to decide what percentage that surcharge should be – we are thinking somewhere between 5-8%). Our farmers currently cover the cost of using the online market software as well as the sales tax for your order, so we are asking customers to cover this surcharge as a convenience cost. (This option may not be available until next week.)
• For this week, we will be accepting only checks or exact change as payment. If you pay with more cash than your order costs, the amount over your order will be applied to your account as a balance you can use on future orders. Checks need to be made payable to Jeff Marlow, since he is the treasurer for the market and the bank won’t accept checks made out to Foothills Market.

These times are challenging, but we are glad to still be available as an option for providing fresh, local food. We want to do everything we can to protect the health of our community.

Browse the market between now and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, make your selections, and press the “Place your order” button. We’ll have the order ready for pickup between 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Thursday on the west side of the courthouse square in downtown Clarksville.

Stay well, and eat something fresh this week!

Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #6

Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s Preassembled Bag will contain Spring Mix, Romaine, Curly Kale, Carrots, Power Greens, Dill and Mint. Orders may now be placed on the online market at: https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

It is our goal to remain even-keel through this trying time. Naturally that means taking the steps and precautions necessary to ensure the safety of the farm team and, you, our community members. Yet it also means taking pause to engage in the meditative serenity of the farm labor. From seeding, to planting, harvest, washing, and packing- there is calmness in the repetitive nature of these tasks. The clean taste of the Spring air, wind and birdsong playing in the background, or simply the warmth of the sunlight- all these things bring us back to the moment. If you have a backyard or access to a natural area, we would invite you take some time to unplug from media and simply enjoy the peace to be found here.

This past week has been that “Stars-aligned Kentucky Spring” weather we all hope for. After barely seeing the sun in March, the bright days interspersed with gentle rain are the conditions that help the young plants thrive. Unfortunately, so much dim and wet earlier in March has us a bit behind of what we had on paper. Likewise, our selection for the next couple of weeks may feel a bit limited. Please bear with us, as the bounty of Spring is on its way.

Speaking of eating seasonally and times that are making us all a bit stir crazy, we’d like to introduce a contest the farm team has been brainstorming on. It always makes us happy to see how you are using our vegetables once they reach your home. This week, if you make something featuring our vegetables, take a picture, then upload it to facebook and tag us (by typing with the post: @Magney Legacy Ridge Farm ). If you don’t do facebook, simply email us the photo. On Saturday, we’ll choose a winner who will get $5 credit to their account. We’re looking forward to trying this out and hoping that it can become a fun weekly thing.

Easy Peasy Power Greens
A mess of power greens
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 clove garlic, crushed/minced
1 Tbsp bacon grease
1 tsp steak seasoning

1. In your cast iron skillet, caramelize the onion in the bacon grease. Meanwhile, stack and roll a handful of leaves, cut lengthwise once and then chop (1/2") crosswise.
2. Remove the onion to the side, dump all of your leaves into the skillet, stir until they begin to wilt, reduce heat, add 1/2-3/4 C of water and cover. Stir every two to three minutes. When they are tender enough for your liking, add the garlic, onion and steak seasoning. Remove from heat.
Last Step: Don’t forget to share!
Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network.

As always, we thank you for your support of our farm. We wish you and those you hold dear a safe and healthy week.

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

Champaign, OH:  Hello, Old Friend

As I am strolling down the garden path,
I saw a flower glowing in the dark.
It looked so pretty and it was unique;
I had to bend down just to have a peek.
Hello old friend,
It’s really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It’s really good to see you once again.
(Hello, Old Friend-Eric Clapton)

Well, well, well…we have now welcomed back Blue Jacket Dairy with their cheeses, and, now, we say hello to the return of everyone’s favorite garlic duo/spice masters, JC Growers!!

Carla and Jenny are the hardworking gals of the garlic farm, and Carla and I hail way back to the early days of farmers’ markets, where we both got our launch, years and years ago.

We were both in the trenches, on our soapboxes, fighting for local, fighting to tell people to know their food, and fighting the good fight to keep farmers’ markets legit, to not allow unknown produce, auction produce into the arena…making us both popular, and unpopular in the early days.

We co-managed the Mechanicsburg market, for years, and we have both been working hard, working our crafts, working our gigs, and going in our own directions, our own paths, since those early days of markets…

So, with much love and admiration, I welcome them back to the market, and hope that you will show them the same love, as well as all of our vendors..

Happy Sunday, lovely customers…you have already broken another record, let’s see how high we fly, this week…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Your Hippie
