2019 Harvest 4

Howdy folks and welcome to week 4 of your CSA. This week we’re excited to start getting strawberries into the boxes. With that being said, they’re just coming on now so this week it’s everyone who picks up in Hood River and next week it’ll be everyone who picks up in Portland. So don’t worry, over the next few weeks you’ll all get to enjoy a pint or two of berries!

This week we’re also excited to debut some beautiful rainbow chard along with head lettuce. This will probably be the last week of bok choy until the fall (I know a lot of you will be excited for the break but I know a few of you die hard bok choy lovers will be sad to say goodbye for a few months.) Regardless, there is a lot of new stuff on the horizon so hopefully you wont’ get too bored with all the greens. Soon enough there will be endless zucchini, peas, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, herbs and more. Just you wait!

We hope you all have a fabulous week!

Cheers to the spring bounty!

Your farmers,
A & T

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

2019 Harvest 2

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
