Winter CSA #2

Dear CSA-ers,

Thank you for those of you who tried out the new system at magneyfarm.locallygrown.net last week. We appreciate your support so much and are happy to report that our first round of deliveries went smoothly. We’re so pleased to be able to offer you custom vegetable bags for delivery or local pick-up. We are up and running for our new credit card payment system, so give it a try. We are also exploring options for discounting a whole season buy-in, much like we did with CSA last year. The goal is to increase the value of our CSA for you, our customers and extended team members. Your support helps us grow organic agriculture and the overall health of the West Kentucky Region.

Despite the frosty conditions, life grows on beneath the protective coverings of our high tunnel greenhouses and outdoor frost cloths. Some of the vegetables we planted back in October are starting to come into their own. Notably, the Romanesco with its vivid chartreuse colour and unique fractal geometry are ready to harvest. Romanesco is most similar to cauliflower, with cooking and preparation being exactly the same. Though new to American markets, Romanesco traces its origins to Italy, where it was bred and developed more than 400 years ago. Romanesco, like its relatives Cauliflower and Broccoli, is high in Vitamin C and Vitamin K. With these Vitamins and many other minerals, all three of these vegetables are a great dietary choice for bolstering the immune system during these dreary winter months.

Again we’d like to invite you, our CSA members, to try out ordering from our new system. Simply create an account at

and begin by adding the items you want on The Market tab

During this interim period between Winter and Spring, we’re working to polish the system. We’re always happy to hear from you, and your input and suggestions help us to make this a better service for you. Again, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to growing you the healthiest, most delicious vegetables throughout the year to come!

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Team
