2018 Harvest week 15

CSA Harvest 15.jpg

Howdy folks and welcome to week 15. Before we get to the contents of your box we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to the Rock the Harvest party this past Saturday. It was one heck of a party and we we're stoked to have so many of you there celebrating there season with us.

This week we're happy to have clear air, cooler temps and an abundant harvest list. We're slowing things down with seeding and transplanting and have already tilled in sections of the field and have begun to cover crop. All of the potatoes and onions are out of the field and starting next week we'll begin our winter squash harvest. Not to worry though--those will cure for a while before we start putting them in your boxes. It's still summer for another month and the boxes will reflect that!

We hope you all enjoying the shorter days and comfortable weather. Thanks again for being rock star CSA members. We're so thankful for you all!

Cheers to the harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T

2018 Harvest 14

Howdy folks and welcome to week 14! We can't believe we're deep into August but dang, here we are. This week the boxes are full of summer bounty with a ton of peppers. We've got sweet bell peppers along with poblanos and jalapeños. I think it's a chili kind of week! We're finally swimming in tomatoes so each week for the foreseeable future everyone will get both cherry tomatoes along with full size tomatoes. 

We're getting excited for the farm party on Saturday and hope you can all make it. The lovely folks at Union Wine Co. will be pouring wine from their traveling wine van and we'll have beer too. The band is getting stoked to perform for the 5th year in a row and we know it's going to be a great time. We just ask that you leave your pups at home due to crops and livestock. Otherwise, bring along your family or a few friends. We can't wait!

Alright folks, we hope you enjoy this week's harvest. See you all soon!

2018 Harvest 13

harvest week 13 2018.jpg

Howdy folks and welcome to week 13 of your Tumbleweed Farm share. This past week we were SO damn happy to have a little relief from the heat. The plants were happy which made us so much more relaxed around here. Today has been a wonderful day at the farm with a warm breeze and perfect working conditions. However, it looks like the heat is coming back and we're preparing for another round of high 90's. The good news is that the summer corps are starting to crank and this week we're happy to have green beans, corn, peppers and tomatoes in your shares. We also have more melons but they'll be divided slowly between the shares over the next week or two (they've been slow to mature this year). Not to worry though, you'll all get some soon enough!

Anyhow, we wanted to pass along a reminder to you all about our party on August 25th. The music will be rocking, we'll have plenty of cold beer and wine, and we just ask that you bring your own picnic if you plan on eating. It's always a good time and we're excited for another year of celebrating the farm season with you all. Swing on up to the farm anytime after 4pm on Saturday the 25th.

Alright, enjoy the veggies this week everyone. 

Take care and happy cooking!

Your farmers,
T & A
