Dawson Local Harvest:  It's Sunday night, the Dawson Market OPENS at 8 pm!

HI EVERYBODY!

THE DAWSON HARVEST MARKET is a dynamic, ever-changing marketplace that features something new every week! As an example, My Daily Bread has something new almost weekly with introductions like our handmade Gluten-Free Bread and seasonal offerings like our Eggnog Pound Cake with Stussel (truly scrumptious). Then there are seasonal offerings from Posy LLC, a flower and wreath décor lady with lovely Holiday wreaths including a nifty Indian Summer wreath. And Cultured Traditions is always adding bew and different delicacies. Add this to all the Beef, Chicken, Eggs, and Veggies, man that’s quite a Market!

Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #32

Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s bag will hopefully contain Sweet Potatoes (Amish Grown), Carrots, Radishes, Kale, Arugula, oregano and Acorn Squash (Amish Grown). Custom orders may be placed between now and Tuesday evening on the website at: https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

Wow! There are some scary November numbers in the forecast for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. As of writing this letter, there is a forecasted predicted low of 13° F early Wednesday morning, following a Tuesday that is not predicted to get above 28° F. We wish that we could confidently predict a great CSA, but these are January numbers in early November. This severe of cold this early is nigh unprecedented and despite having all the vegetables tucked under frost cloth (even the ones already within tunnels) these temperatures truly threaten the survival of even our most cold hardy crops. We wish that we could say otherwise, but this is an unusual year.
It is our intention to take CSA orders as usual and then evaluate crop survival on Wednesday. In the event of irreconcilable freeze damage, your order will be refunded, and we will send an email detailing how we intend to move forward. It is possible that we are overreacting here and that crops will survive and carry on just fine, but we are venturing into uncharted territory for Fall. We want to be transparent with you, our customers and community members, as well as preemptive in our approach.
On a bright note, we are looking forward to our 2020 season and are beginning our planning process, as well as discussions on how to expand the offerings of the farm. This starts with an evaluation of the varieties we offered this year where we have conversations about the taste and performance of various vegetables. We would love to have your input on this as well! If there’s anything that really stood out in the bags of this year, things you’d like to see more or less of, or perhaps something new entirely, please send us an email! We are your CSA, and while we can’t promise to be able to fit everything into our rotations, your input will be both valued and considered.
We are so happy to be a part of your community and to have you a part of ours. In some ways this has felt like a very milestone year for us, with many things starting to click into place. There have been struggles and there will continue to be. Farming will never be an easy venture. Yet through your support and our teamwork, we believe we will continue to grow.

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

This Friday pick up will be in the lobby at St. Peter’s Episcopal church, not in the parish hall where we normally meet. Enter through the courtyard and the lobby will be on the left.

Garlic plants are now available. This garlic won a blue ribbon and best of show at the Faulkner county fair this year and two years ago. Only $1 per sprouted plant in a 2-inch pot. Transplant them into a sunny spot in your garden now. Will be ready to dig in early June. Figure 6 to 8 garlic plants per person in your family.

Attention pet owners! There is a new product from Bradford Valley Farm. It is a 2 pound frozen block of ground chicken frames, and parts for your pet. Kinsey brought me a trial package on Friday, and here’s my glowing review: after thawing overnight, I simmered 1/3 of the package in 2 cups of water for about 10 minutes. This product looks just like ground beef but I could feel the very small pieces of bones throughout. I fed half of this to my two dogs over some dry food for dinner Saturday evening, and the other half for breakfast Sunday morning. Jackie and George absolutely loved it! The extra calcium is great for dogs. This 2 pound block of ground chicken frames will yield 12 wonderful dining experiences for one dog for only $7. This would not be a meal replacement, but for very special treats.

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:

Please check your email a few minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thanks!

This Week’s Newsletter:
A Look Back at a Great Day
End of Year Schedule

THIS LITTLE PIGGIE MISSED THE MARKET

Coming home from a Saturday Farmer’s Market is always a goofy mix of exhilaration, fatigue, contemplation and (for me) digging in to get the newsletter done. Today has been no different! I thought I’d share a bit of the day with you.

7:30 am Leave home for Dothan Nurseries, coffee and cold pizza in hand for breakfast on the way.

8:00 am Arrive at Nursery. The gate is still locked. A couple of other vendors park beside and behind me to await the arrival of someone with keys.

8:05 am A sweet lady arrived and unlocked the gate. We wait for her to disable the alarm system so the police don’t come running as we enter.

8:07 am Three of us are parked and starting to unload. It’s COLD outside.

8:15 am More vendors arrive. Everybody is helping each other park, put up tents, etc. The spirit of cooperation is a thing of beauty.

8:30 am EVERYBODY has arrived. The parking lot is a mess with people unloading, setting up and moving vehicles.

9:15 am ALL DONE! Vendor vehicles are replaced with customer vehicles in the parking lot. Folks start visiting booths. Old friends visit, new friends chat, Ms. Laura shares baked goods with the vendors and everyone has a good time selling and sharing.

Laura’s Confections

12:30 pm. Foot traffic has slowed down, it’s time to start packing up. The process that happened earlier reverses itself as tents and tables disappear almost as fast as they earlier appeared.

1:00 pm You can’t tell we were ever there!

1:05 pm Stop at Piggly Wiggly for Chicken Feed

1:25 pm Go through McDonalds drive through for $1 coffee because I need the caffine for the drive home.

1: 55 pm Had to stop and tell this guy to get out of the road. He thought I wanted to chat and grunted at me a while before going up his driveway. It didn’t look like anyone was home so I’m hopeful he stayed put till his human arrived.

We hope you enjoyed this peek into one of our crazy fun Market Days and will plan to join us on the next one Dec. 5!
