Magney Legacy Ridge Farm:  CSA #27

Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s preassembled bag will contain Spinach, Lovelock Head Lettuce, Carrots, Collards, Bell Peppers, Parsley, Chives and Butternut Squash (Amish Grown). For those of you placing custom orders, you may do so between now and Tuesday evening on the website at: http://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

For those of you who have just signed up on the CSA site this week, welcome! You should receive a welcoming call from one of our staff this Monday or Tuesday to help answer any questions you might have about using the site. We’re glad to have you here! We’re also glad to have some cooler weather and some rain for the first time in a good long while. Cooler weather serves to sweeten up all the Autumn vegetables, and we expect some excellent harvests of cool weather crops in the weeks to come.
Progress on the farm is going well. This week the last of our outdoor transplanting was finished up, except for garlic, which is special in that it is planted late and grows throughout the winter. Additionally, the first of the three high tunnels to be planted for winter harvest was cleared and prepared. This coming week, it will be planted with the crops that will be harvested during winter. The tunnels allow us to provide you with fresh vegetables so deep into December after heavy frosts have killed plants outside.
This week’s vegetable spot-light falls on carrots. Carrots are a challenge to grow in Kentucky due to our dense soil and humid climate. Nevertheless, we are very proud to bring you organically grown carrots from our very own farm in Princeton, Kentucky. This rotation is predominately a colorful mixture of carrots called “Starburst” that has reds, yellows, oranges, and whites. It seems this time the red varieties performed the best, although the color distribution and size of these carrots seems to vary some with the seasons. Carrots are high in Vitamin A which is why you’ve probably heard someone say they’re good for your eyesight. We hope you enjoy both seeing and tasting them in our colorful assortment this week!
As always, we thank you and your family for your support of our farm. We wish you all a wonderful week!

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team

CLG:  New Grower! Opening Bell: Shiitakes, Sweet Potatoes, Squash!

Good afternoon!
We are pleased to announce a new Grower for CLG. On Saturday, I inspected Healthy Flavors Arkansas, a large, new growing operation in south Conway. Shane Lindsay has been working hard to install season-extending high tunnels where he currently has several hundred tomato plants. While we are now at the end of a growing season, Shane is planning on producing lots of spring vegetables for us, all certified naturally grown. He also has some brassicas which should produce before winter. His list for next year includes green onions, tomatoes, peppers, kale, carrots, and more. He has the energy and know how to make it happen. We hope to have Shane at the market this Friday so you can meet him and ask any questions about his operation. He may also bring some kale and tomatoes so come early for the best selection.

This time of year there aren’t many blooming flowers in the garden for our pollinators. Luckily, Goldenrod is just now starting to bloom. Goldenrod is a perennial that has bright gold plumes of flowers. Consider adding this perennial somewhere in your garden for late season nectar for pollinators.

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 425 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:

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!

Dothan, Alabama:  Woo Hoo - Another M@D Newsletter!

And we’re still open for orders!

Sometimes things just don’t go the way you planned. At least this time we CAUGHT the error and can correct it. Our apologies to Grier Acres for the error that caused this not to be in the newsletter. We appreciate them so much and don’t want you to miss out on what’s going on with them.

GRIER ACRES: Jeannie and Harry here and enjoying getting back to a routine.  Jeannie has started back to work full time which means we are probably going to take a rest on veggies.  We will have smoking wood and fat lighter/’’fatwood’’—-if we ever get to cool weather. Our okra has went dormant as we just stopped picking.  We did have some sunflowers but the stink bugs got those. Last year it was the deer. We still have our chickens but Jeannie has a regular customer that buys her out almost every week.  We did adopt a neighbors chickens but these are the ugliest chickens ever seen. We probably need a contest to see if anyone can name the breed of these chickens. We have almost finished our fencing for meat goats.  If anyone knows of a donkey/jenny/ass that needs a home we would like it. We know we have coyotes and until we get a livestock dog we would like one. It would also be nice for it to have some relief, too. Hope all is well.  We still have some watermelons maturing and will post when they get ready on their own sweet time. Peppers-ghost are still producing as well as habanero and thai peppers.
