CSA #28

Dear CSA-ers,
This week’s preassembled bag will contain Spring Mix, Romaine Head Lettuce, Kale, Eggplant (the last this year), Radishes, Cherry Tomatoes and Acorn 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
This is the last week to order your Farm to Table dinner tickets. If you are a year-round member you are invited to come for free. We are gearing up and finalizing details to our menu this week. Here are our plans currently: We will have gluten free options. Ray and I are making my Grandmothers marinade with local honey for Flank Steaks which Ray will grill for us that evening. I will be making salad with our wonderful Spring Mix and our own veggies. Caroline will be making a Butternut Squash Bisque. Swiss Chard will be one of our veggie sides. Hannah is coming home next weekend and we are going to experiment with an apple and kohlrabi pie. This weekend I have been raiding our local thrift shops to get enough dishes for our event. I thought this might be difficult, but it has turned out to be enjoyable adventure. The mismatched place settings for our dinner should make the tables quaint and fun.
Some history: When we farmed in Georgia, our Farm to Table was one of our beloved events. Since we rented land at that time, we did not have a kitchen on the farm. So, we had to use some ingenuity and repurposed a camper trailer as a resource for kitchen needs. It also provided the electricity to keep crock pots warm. The meat and veggies were grilled. These are fond memories for me, as we prepared food and dined under the twinkle lights in Augusta with the farm as ambiance. I am so looking forward to making new memories with YOU, my Farmily, here in Kentucky. We hope that you will join us on November 1st to come tour our farm and have a family style dinner with us. Tickets will go out in the mail at the end of this week. Or if you have a bag of veggies delivered, then they will be attached to your bag.
As always, we thank you and your family for your support of our farm. We wish you all a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
Angela and the Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team
