Howdy folks and welcome to your first Tumbleweed Farm CSA haul of the 2026 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. As we get into the groove of weekly deliveries we just want to emphasize that the early spring boxes are definitely “greens heavy” meaning that there’s just a ton of leafy greens to work with. As always we have recipes below to hopefully help inspire you if you’re feeling overwhelmed with your box. As we move through the spring the variety will increase and you’ll be blessed with more options. But for now, this is the vitamin rich, what the doctor ordered after a long winter box! We hope you enjoy the bounty this week! Also— for storing veggies I find the easiest way to make things manageable in your fridge is to take the time on delivery day to chop up your veggies and bag them up or store them in glass containers in your fridge for space saving.

Alrighty folks we hope you enjoy this week’s haul! Below are a few snap shots of harvest day! Happy cooking and eating everyone.

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