2019 Harvest 3

Howdy folks and welcome to week three of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. This week things are freaking CRANKING!!!! The fields are looking so good and things are starting to grow really fast (including all the weeds!) Luckily, we’ve been staying on top of weed patrol pretty well with the crew and thanks to our new irragtion set up we’re not spending nearly as much time moving lines around as we have in years past. We’re stoked with how well things are producing and we’re getting excited to start moving into summer crops here pretty soon. But before that, we’re going to slow down and enjoy all the flavors of the spring bounty. We hope you all enjoy this week’s harvest. And those of you who have been with us for multiple years you know that our favorite spring gem is the lovely garlic scape and this week a bundle is making its way into your shares!! Eat ‘em up folks!!

Happy cooking everyone!

Your farmers,
A & T

Howdy folks and welcome to week 2 of your 2019 CSA. Below is a list of what’s in your box along with recipe suggestions. Spring produce is cranking so we hope you’re hungry!

This week we’re excited to finally get some warm sunshine back after a cool, wet and very windy week. We’re planting summer crops like crazy and the zucchini, peppers and tomatoes are looking great so far. The watermelons didn’t take the cold week very well and look less than stellar out there but we’re hopeful they’ll bounce back. Carrots are looking good and should make an appearance in your shares by next week (if not the week after) and we’re happy to say that the garlic scapes are starting to crop up and look amazing! Stay tuned for those seasonal gems, they’re season is short, but oh so damn sweet!

Anyhow, we hope you all had a great memorial day weekend and have cleared your fridges and are ready for more veggies! And if that’s not the case and you’re still loaded down don’t forget to make our “famous” compost pasta recipe. Basically throw every veggie in a skillet with oil, saute until wilted and throw it onto a bowl of pasta with plenty of cheese. No recipe needed!

Happy eating everyone!

Your farmers,
A & T

2019 Harvest 1

Howdy folks and welcome to the first week of your 2019 Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. We hope you all had a restful winter and are hungry for fresh veggies! We’re thrilled to have so many of the same folks join us again for another season (you guys all rule!) and we’re excited to meet some new faces as well. This is our largest group of families to date (80!!!) but we’re feeling rested and ready to tackle another farm year. We’ve got two extra farm hands to help us out which is rad so things feel more manageable than ever even as we’re growing.

I know we all might be a little rusty with meal prep and grocery shopping as we find our CSA groove but I know we'll all get there. The first few weeks you can expect a lot of leafy greens and roots. I know a lot of you are seasoned pros but for some of you it may be a little more daunting to figure out what to do with everything. As long as your cupboards are stocked with the basics (grains, oils, vinegar’s, butter, bread, pasta, meat, etc.) I'll think you'll be set up for success. We'll supply plenty of recipes and storage tips so you get the most out of your fresh produce. And please, never hesitate to reach out with questions. 

And just like that, below is a list of week 1’s box. Happy cooking and eating!
