2026 Harvest 5

Howdy folks, and welcome to Week 5 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share!

It's been a hot one out here this week. While plenty of our summer crops are absolutely loving the heat, a few of our cool-weather favorites are ready for a break. This will be your last week receiving spinach until the fall, bok choy is taking the summer off until September, and arugula is hitting pause for a few weeks as well.

The good news? Summer is just getting started. The tomato plants are beginning to crank, peppers are looking fantastic, zucchini and cucumbers are growing like weeds, the melon patch is thriving, and even the winter squash is showing off beautiful, healthy foliage. It's an exciting time of year on the farm as we watch the seasons shift and the summer crops take center stage.

This week's Recipe of the Week, Korean Beef Bulgogi with CSA Vegetables, is so gosh darn delicious and a fantastic way to use up a big portion of your share in one colorful, flavor-packed meal. If you give it a try, we'd love to hear what you think!

We hope you enjoy this week's harvest. Happy cooking, happy eating, and thank you for supporting local food and our farm.

Your farmers,

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

2026 Harvest 4

Howdy folks, and welcome to Week 4 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA!

Whew—what a week! It was breezy, wet, and downright chilly out in the fields, but we got ’er done. The farm is certainly grateful for the rain, even if it made for a long (and very soggy) harvest day.

A special shoutout goes to our dedicated veggie washer, Katie (hi Katie!), who absolutely crushed what might just be the toughest job on the farm—washing all those beautiful veggies in the pouring rain. Total rockstar.

We’re feeling incredibly grateful for the abundance coming your way this week, and we hope you and your families can taste all the care, grit, and love that went into every bundle.

Happy eating and cooking, everyone!

2026 Harvest 3

Howdy folks, and welcome to Week 3 of your Tumbleweed Farm harvest!

We're especially excited about this week's bounty, including the debut of our first spring carrots of the season. There's nothing quite like harvesting those first sweet, crunchy carrots after months of planning, planting, and tending the fields.

It's been a busy week on the farm, and the weather has been just about perfect. We were grateful to receive a much-needed rainstorm last Thursday. While it came with a little thunder and lightning, we were fortunate to avoid hail and damaging winds. The fields soaked up every drop, and the crops are looking happy and healthy because of it.

As always, we're keeping busy out here but love taking the break to appreciate the harvest and you’ll see some new tasty recipes for this week’s haul below. The raw carrot and turnip miso salad is a MUST try. Seriously, it’s a new favorite of ours. And the bok choy chicken curry is the perfect spring soup. Light, flavorful and so gosh darn nourishing. Anyhow, we're incredibly proud of this week's harvest and excited to share it with you. We hope you enjoy everything in your box this week.

Thank you for supporting our farm, our crew, and local agriculture. We truly couldn't do it without you.

Happy eating!

Your farmers,

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