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

Harvest 6

Broccoli—Broccoli contains many vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Research suggests that some of broccoli’s plant compounds are thought to help prevent cancer when eaten often. Broccoli’s benefits include helping reduce inflammation, keeping blood sugar stable, and strengthening the immune system.
Lettuce Mix—A rich source of vitamins A, K and folate. Contains anti-inflamatory properties.
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.
Radishes- are a rich source of magnesium, potassium and vitamin C. Remove the greens from these to help keep the roots crisp for storing.
Rainbow Chard—this dark leafy green is high in antioxidants and important vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, K and A and a healthy dose of magnesium (which many people are deficient in).
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.
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.
