2026 Harvest 8

Howdy folks and welcome to week 8 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. We’re so happy to share this week’s haul with you all! And please don’t fret about another head of cabbage, it’s the last one until the fall so please enjoy! They will store well in your fridge for over a month. Also- it’s taco and coleslaw season so hopefully you’ll get through another head of cabbage with multiple taco nights!

This week we’re also super excited to have fennel and kohlrabi back in rotation. The fennel is excellent right now and there’s a few wonderful recipes below to inspire you. Zucchini is coming in hot so look forward to multiple weeks of this seasonal gem. The recipe for the zucchini, salmon and dill frittata is phenomenal and so easy!

We hope you have a great week of cooking and eating everyone!

Your farmers,
Andrea, Taylor, Pepper & Maize and our wonderful crew

Harvest 8

  1. Lettuce Mix—A rich source of vitamins A, K and folate. Contains anti-inflamatory properties.

  2. Radishes- are a rich source of magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. Remove the greens from these to help keep the roots crisp for storing.

  3. Cabbage—this tasty brassica helps reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the leading cause of disease and incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods is very beneficial.

  4. Carrots—Rich in beta-carotene which your body converts into Vitamin A. This vitamin is important for vision, bone and immune function. Carrots are also high in antioxidants and important minerals for overall body health. Remove the greens on the carrots before storing them so they don’t go soft.

  5. Kohlrabi— Kohlrabi is great for gut health as it contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. It also contains a wide array of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, anthocyanins, isothiocyanates, and glucosinolates. These plant compounds protect your cells against free radical damage that may otherwise increase your risk of disease.

  6. Dill—is great for digestion and helps with bloating. Because of its antacid properties it’s great at easing indigestion, gastritis and other inflammatory conditions.

  7. Fennel—This anise flavored veggie is packed with important vitamins and minerals to help maintain overall health. Rich in Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and manganese fennel is also been proven to help reduce inflammation and contains antibacterial properties.

  8. Zucchini/Summer Squash—Zucchini/summer squash is a highly alkaline food that is one of the mildest and easiest vegetables to digest. Zucchini is a great source of vitamin A, C, & B-complex as well as minerals such as iron, zinc, potassium, and manganese.

  9. Romaine Lettuce—It’s high in folate (if you’re suffering from allergies this season eat this green up!) It’s also a good source of copper and vitamins A, K and C.

2026 Harvest 7

Howdy folks and welcome to week 7 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA. We hope this cool and breezy weather is treating you well! We’ve had a very chilly week at the Farm and while the working conditions are great, we’re ready for some of our summer crops to start cranking so a few warmer days will be welcome! With that being said, things still look awesome and the summer bounty is starting to flourish. Next week you’ll see the first zucchini along with some other early summer crops so get ready! In the meantime, this week’s box is a reflection of the weather and season so we hope you enjoy some of these cooler weather veggies.

Also—the beet and cottage cheese hummus in the first recipe below is a MUST TRY!!! It’s fantastic and will be a great use of all the beets you’re receiving right now. Holler if you make it!

Happy eating and cooking everyone!

Harvest 7

  1. Purple Cabbage—this tasty brassica helps reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the leading cause of disease and incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods is very beneficial.

  2. Scallions—Great for overall immune health. Scallions are a good source of vitamin C and a flavonoid called quercetin. Both can strengthen your immune system and help it fight illnesses.

  3. Head Lettuce—A rich source of vitamins A, K and folate. Contains anti-inflamatory properties.

  4. Beets—rich in folate, manganese and copper. Copper is very important as it helps make red blood cells and helps keep your immune system healthy.

  5. Arugula—one of the healthiest leafy greens! Containing a ton of antioxidants and anti -inflammatory properties along with being jam-packed with magnesium which helps prevent high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

  6. Turnips—Rich in vitamins and minerals turnips are high in antioxidants which help provide anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antibacterial effects, among other benefits. The greens boast a whole list of their own nutritional values but the biggest ones are that they’re high in vitamin A and calcium. Please remove the greens from the turnips and store them separately so the roots don’t get soft.

  7. Kale—super high in antioxidants, contains vitamin C, Vitamin K, Manganese and various polyphenols. To make this easier to digest make sure to cook your kale or massage it really well before eating raw.

  8. Fresh Garlic—the list of health benefits is almost too long!! It’s anti-fungal, anti- inflammatory, boosts immune health, and is full of antioxidants! Just eat garlic with every meal!

2026 Harvest 6

Howdy folks, and welcome to Week 6 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA!

This week's box has us absolutely PUMPED. This is the harvest we've been waiting for all season—a colorful abundance of veggies packed with nutrition, flavor, and summer goodness. Every box feels a little like a celebration this week!

The recipe below for our Love Your Liver Detox Salad is a must-try. It's incredibly flavorful, and the combination of textures along with the carrot-ginger miso dressing makes it something truly special. I can't wait for you all to give it a try! If you happen to have a little cilantro left from last week's box (and maybe one lonely carrot hanging out in the crisper drawer), toss those in too. Otherwise, everything you need is included in this week's share. It's hands-down my favorite salad of the season so far.

We hope you enjoy this bounty as much as we do. It's been hot, sweaty work out in the fields lately, but boxes like this make it all worthwhile. Watching the farm burst into color and abundance is one of the most rewarding parts of the season, and we're thrilled to share it with you.

Enjoy!

Your farmers,

Andrea, Taylor, Pepper, Maize, and our awesome crew
