Berea Gardens: We're Back!
Hi Everybody,
Our online market is back up and running for what promises to be a great Fall season. The crops are fabulous and we will be adding Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts soon. Our pick-up hours remain the same; from 4 to 7 PM on Wednesdays. The last Farmer’s Market at the park is on November 20, but we will be keeping this market open until well after Christmas. Hope to see you soon.
Blessings,
Bob

Magney Legacy Ridge Farm: CSA #30
Dear CSA-ers,
This week’s preassembled bag will contain Arugula, Kale, Oak Leaf Head Lettuce, Delicata Squash, Radishes, Baby Fennel, and Parsley. Custom Orders may be placed between now and Tuesday evening on the website at: https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market
With both Farmers’ Markets officially over, this week’s activities will revolve mostly around preparing for the Farm to Table Dinner, and of course filling CSA. Markets ending is always a bit bittersweet, but the farm crew will all enjoy having Saturday mornings to sleep in for a while. As members of the CSA, your access to fresh vegetables via our farm will continue through the Fall and on to our final delivery week of December 19th.
Believe it or not, we are already planting for next year. Garlic was planted this past week and we are pleased to have been able to achieve double the planting that we did for 2019. These cloves will grow into the bulbs that will be offered in the CSAs and at the markets of 2020. The garlic we grow throughout the winter into spring and will be ready to harvest next summer. One of the most challenging aspects of farming is that our planning must be done so far in advance. We are constantly subject to weather conditions that may unexpectedly complicate the production on the farm. With garlic, we were racing on Friday to beat the tremendous rainfall that would’ve closed the possibility of planting the crop for us. It was a refreshing team effort with Angela and Caroline “popping” apart garlic bulbs and Stacy and Patrick planting the cloves in prepared soil. Overall, the planting should produce nearly 3000 plants.
If you are participating in the Farm to Table Dinner this coming Friday, here is the information you should know: Parking is available in the field before our farm. We will have someone out helping you park. Please wear shoes that you can walk on unsteady ground. If you need handicapped parking, we have a few spaces up near the house. I would also bring a jacket as it looks like we may need them after the sun goes down. Our address is: 837 Pleasant Valley Rd, Princeton KY 42445 and my cell number is 706-564-6757 should you need to call.
Rosemary Roasted Delicata Squash
Ingredients
1 Delicata squash, halved, seeded and sliced into 1/2" half moons
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and pepper
Place baking sheet in oven and preheat to 425 degrees.
Gently toss together squash, oil, rosemary, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Place squash pieces on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 6-8 minutes or to desired degree of doneness.
Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
Thanks so much for being a part of our farm, in whatever capacity you choose to participate. We are grateful for all our customers and community members. It’s ultimately you that make what we do possible!
Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team
