Howdy folks and welcome to week 9 of your Tumbleweed Farm shares. We hope you all had a lovely weekend and got to enjoy the hot sunny weather. And hell yeah to this unexpected rain today! We are loving it!! This week it’s all about those sugar snap peas and zucchini. With just the slightest shift in weather the peas are cranking and so are the zucchini. We hope you all enjoy the veggies this week. It’s starting to feel/taste a bit more like summer this week. Happy cooking and eating!

Your farmers,
A & T

2019 Harvest 8

Howdy folks and welcome to week 8 of your CSA shares! We hope you all had a nice holiday weekend and are hungry for this weeks veggies. These cool temperatures have been nice here at the farm, though we’re ready for things to heat up a bit so the tomatoes, peppers, corn, cucumbers and eggplants can start cranking! We’ve had chilly nights (in the 40’s) so while the greens are loving it, our summer crops are a little behind. Not to worry thought, we’ve got plenty to keep you fueled up until that first bite of sweet corn!

This week we’re excited to have zucchini and sugar snap peas baking their seasonal debuts. However, due to the cool temperatures we don’t have quite enough for everyone so this week all of our Hood River members will be recieving zucchini and all of the Portland folks will get sugar snap peas. Next week we’ll flip flop so you all we’ll get to enjoy both! And don’t worry, there’s plenty more where that zucchini is coming from! Just you wait!

Happy cooking and eating everyone!


Your farmers,
A & T

2019 Harvest 7

Howdy folks and welcome to week 7 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA. We’re so excited to share some new veggies with you this week and even more excited that there’s a lot more variety coming in hot in the coming weeks. Things are looking great out here and we’re absolutely stoked with the bounty so far this season. This week we’re happy to debut the first of the black radishes. For those of you joining us for the first time this year the black radishes are some of our favorites but just to warn you they’re a bit spicier than traditinoal radishes. For that reason we love preparing them by slicing them really thin and adding them to salads or topping pizza or sourdough toast. They’re absolutely beautiful (black on the outside and tuxedo white on the inside) so have fun with them. They’re also great “quick pickled” and will keep for months in jars in the refrigerator. They also look really pretty served on a meat and cheese platter if you slice them into thin rounds. Go wild!

In the coming weeks sugar snap peas will be making their debut along with zucchini, new potatoes, basil, and the first of the field carrots. Lot’s to look forward and in the meantime we hope you love the box this week.

Cheers to the summer harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T
