2020 Harvest 2

2020Harvest2.jpg

Howdy folks and welcome to week 2 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. We hope you enjoyed the veggies last week and got to spend some quality time in the kitchen and enjoy a few fresh meals with your families. This week we are excited about the first of this seasons carrots getting yanked from the dirt along with your first turnips of the season (you’ll be getting turnips often so I hope you like them!) This is the last week of the spring garlic (though some of you are receiving garlic scapes this week!) as we move from the spring garlic to scapes before garlic heads. It’s a fun transition to experience every stage of the garlic plant! The green garlic and scapes can be used in every recipe that calls for garlic cloves. Their flavors are lighter and a bit fresher tasting than cured garlic but can be used interchangeably throughout recipes. Dice them up like you would a scallion.

We’ve got some tasty recipes to share this week with you all as well. One of our favorite spring soups is being linked and even though the weather is warm this soup is damn fine of a hot evening! I really hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Cheers to the harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T (and baby P)

2020 Harvest 1

Howdy folks and welcome to week 1 of the 2020 Tumbleweed Farm season!! We’re so excited to have so many of you back for another season and to welcome all of you new members. This year is obviously a little different logistically with pick-ups and we’re so bummed to not be able to clink glasses (just yet) or hug all of you after a long winter. But the hugs and clinking of glasses will come soon enough (hopefully!) Until then we hope you feel the love at your dinner table’s when you’re eating a meal with your family.

We’re really proud of how well the spring vegetables are growing so far this season. The fields are looking great and each week new sections are getting planted out. In a month the entire farm will be at capacity which is always the most beautiful time of the year here. As always, the spring time will bring you the most greens and we’ll do our best to give recipe suggestions so you don’t get too tired of them. Although, after such a long winter we’ve just been eating fistfuls of plain lettuce because it feels so good to eat something fresh! But I know you can only eat plain lettuce for so long so the recipes below will hopefully inspire you to get in the kitchen and play around a bit.

We’re so happy to be back in the swing of things over here. Taylor and I say this every year, but we honestly are so thankful to all of you for putting your money and trust into our farm. We could not do what we love for a living if it weren’t for all of you. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We hope to fill your bellies all season long with the best quality ingredients grown with nothing but love and no BS.

Happy first CSA box everyone!

Your farmers,
T & A (and little baby Pepper!)

Harvest week 1

  1. Head lettuce (wash, tear apart the leaves, dry and store in produce storage containers in the fridge — I love these ones and they last forever!!) or in plastic bags for the longest shelf life.)

  2. Beets— remove the greens and store the greens and roots separately in the fridge (beet greens are delicious too!)

  3. Radishes— Remove the greens and store them separately in the fridge (if you leave the greens on the radishes will become soft quickly)

  5. Bunched Arugula— store in a produce container or plastic bag

  6. Green garlic— store in the fridge as is (white and pale green parts are the edible parts)

And just like that, it’s officially the last harvest of the 2019 season. Thank you everyone for supporting Tumbleweed Farm this year and for cooking, eating (and if you had to compost a lot that’s fine too!!) all of our veggies this season. It’s been an honor to be your farmers and we are so damn grateful to each and everyone of you for putting your money, time and trust into us to grow your food. We hope you enjoyed the season and we hope you all get to have a restful and healthy winter.

Cheers to a great season!

Your farmers
A & T

Harvest 24

  1. Kale

  2. Turnips

  3. Radishes

  4. Garlic

  5. Blue Hubbard Squash Or Fairy Squash (both can be used interchangeably) but if you received the giant blue hubbard squash the best way to open it is to drop it on the floor (seriously!) and it will break into uniform pieces that are easy to work with. Or you can roast it whole!

  7. Parsnips
