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!

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