2025 Harvest 2

Howdy folks and welcome to week 2 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. We hope you had a great week of healthy eating and are ready for another week of farm fresh goodness!

We’ve been busy out here in the fields. The past week we had rain, heat, wind and got a lot done! We’re feeling a bit behind on our weeding as the harvest days are taking up a lot more time this year (our CSA shares have grown and we’re so grateful that we get to feed so many of you!) But with that, we’re learning to manage field days with this bigger harvest. We continue to transplant and direct seed thousands of plants and seeds each week. It’s a LOT! But we’re here for it and we’ve got a solid crew busting their butts right alongside us.

Here are a few snap shots of this past week in the field.


Alrighty folks, we hope you get to sit down to a lot of meals this week with people you love. Happy cooking and eating!

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

Harvest 2


  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Green Garlic—the list is too long!! It’s anti-fungal, anti- inflammatory, boosts immune health, and is full of antioxidants!

  5. Spinach— rich in iron, potassium, vitamins C & E, and magnesium. Spinach can also aid in digestion and has anticancer properties. Eat this veggie up!!

Howdy folks and welcome to your first Tumbleweed Farm CSA haul of the 2025 season! We’re honored to feed you and your families this season. Thank you for trusting us to grow the safest, healthiest, most nutrient dense food you can find locally. We hope you get to sit down to a lot of family/friend/neighborhood dinners and enjoy the flavors of the season.

We’ve been hustling out the in the fields the past two months getting things prepped, planted, weeded, watered and fertilized. It’s a busy time around here but we have a great crew with us and we’re excited for the weeks and months ahead.

The rain this past week was a blessing and we got to take a break from irrigating the fields. The greenhouses still needed tending to, but it was nice to let mother nature take care of the rest for us. Our kiddos and the crew were in good spirits despite the cold and rainy weather for our first harvest day yesterday. It was a muddy one folks, but we got the veggies washed and cleaned up for you and you’d never guess how muddy it was!

Alrighty, we hope you enjoy the harvest this week!

Final Harvest of 2024!

Howdy folks and welcome to the final harvest of the 2024 Tumbleweed Farm CSA season. You did it! We harvested thousands of pounds of organic produce this year and we are so grateful to you all for supporting our farm and feeding yourselves and your family with our food. It was a wonderful season! Thank you for allowing us to do what we love for a living. There was 155 families that participated this season and if it weren’t for all of you, we wouldn’t be able to continue living this dream. Some of you have been with us for over a decade (you know who you are and thank you for sticking with us in those early days of less variety and not as healthy of looking crops). It’s taken years to get our soil to where it is today and with newly implemented systems in place, better irrigation, and a small but mighty crew we’ve been so happy with how things have grown.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope you enjoy this week’s final haul.

Your farmers,
Andrea, Taylor, Pepper & Maize (and our kick ass crew- Jenna, Maggie and Clara!)

Harvest 23

  1. Lettuce Mix—A rich source of vitamins A, K and folate. Also anti- inflammatory!

  2. Kale—super high in antioxidants, contains vitamin C, Vitamin K, Manganese and various polyphenols.

  3. Potatoes—Potato skins and flesh are both very beneficial to human health. Fun fact—potato plants draw some of the highest concentration of macro and trace minerals from the earth. This was news to me!! They are high in potassium and rich in vitamin B6, as well as a fantastic source of amino acids, especially lysine in its bioactive form. Lysine is a powerful weapon against viruses such as Epstein-Barr and shingles that are behind rheumatoid arthritis, joint pain, autoimmune disease, and more. Potatoes also contain tyrosine, a chemical needed to produce thyroid hormones. So cool! Eat more potatoes folks!

  4. Winter Squash (Butternut)—Winter Squash is a highly nutritious and alkaline food which is rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants. It’s easy to digest and contains high amounts of Vitamins A, E, C, B-complex, and beta carotene, iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium which are vital for a healthy and strong immune and nervous system

  5. Onions—Onions are high in probiotics and fiber which is great for gut health. They are also high in vitamin C, which may help regulate your immune health, collagen production, and iron absorption. Onions are rich in B vitamins, including folate and vitamin B6.

  6. 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.

  7. Jalapeno Peppers—jalapeños are rich in vitamins A and C and potassium. They also have carotene -- an antioxidant that helps protect your cells from disease– as well as folate, vitamin K, and B vitamins.

  8. 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.
