CSA #6


Dear CSA-ers,

This week’s Preassembled Bag will contain Spring Mix, Romaine, Curly Kale, Carrots, Power Greens, Dill and Mint. Orders may now be placed on the online market at: https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market

It is our goal to remain even-keel through this trying time. Naturally that means taking the steps and precautions necessary to ensure the safety of the farm team and, you, our community members. Yet it also means taking pause to engage in the meditative serenity of the farm labor. From seeding, to planting, harvest, washing, and packing- there is calmness in the repetitive nature of these tasks. The clean taste of the Spring air, wind and birdsong playing in the background, or simply the warmth of the sunlight- all these things bring us back to the moment. If you have a backyard or access to a natural area, we would invite you take some time to unplug from media and simply enjoy the peace to be found here.

This past week has been that “Stars-aligned Kentucky Spring” weather we all hope for. After barely seeing the sun in March, the bright days interspersed with gentle rain are the conditions that help the young plants thrive. Unfortunately, so much dim and wet earlier in March has us a bit behind of what we had on paper. Likewise, our selection for the next couple of weeks may feel a bit limited. Please bear with us, as the bounty of Spring is on its way.

Speaking of eating seasonally and times that are making us all a bit stir crazy, we’d like to introduce a contest the farm team has been brainstorming on. It always makes us happy to see how you are using our vegetables once they reach your home. This week, if you make something featuring our vegetables, take a picture, then upload it to facebook and tag us (by typing with the post: @Magney Legacy Ridge Farm ). If you don’t do facebook, simply email us the photo. On Saturday, we’ll choose a winner who will get $5 credit to their account. We’re looking forward to trying this out and hoping that it can become a fun weekly thing.

Easy Peasy Power Greens
A mess of power greens
1/2 medium onion, sliced
2 clove garlic, crushed/minced
1 Tbsp bacon grease
1 tsp steak seasoning

1. In your cast iron skillet, caramelize the onion in the bacon grease. Meanwhile, stack and roll a handful of leaves, cut lengthwise once and then chop (1/2") crosswise.
2. Remove the onion to the side, dump all of your leaves into the skillet, stir until they begin to wilt, reduce heat, add 1/2-3/4 C of water and cover. Stir every two to three minutes. When they are tender enough for your liking, add the garlic, onion and steak seasoning. Remove from heat.
Last Step: Don’t forget to share!
Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network.

As always, we thank you for your support of our farm. We wish you and those you hold dear a safe and healthy week.

Sincerely,
The Magney Legacy Ridge Farm Team
