2022 Harvest 8

Howdy folks and welcome to week 8! This week we’ve got a few repeat veggies from last week in your box so hopefully you all are ready for a taco night with more cabbage, turnips and beets (thinly shredded they make the best taco toppings!) Another great way to enjoy the cabbage is sliced into wedges and grilled. So darn good!

Things in the filed are looking good. The summer squash, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and corn are all growing quickly! Basil is cranking too and will be in your shares next week!

Anyhow, we hope you all enjoy this week’s harvest.

Your farmers,
A & T

2022 Harvest 7

Howdy folks and welcome to week 7! It was quite the exciting week here at our farm as Thursday morning I was out harvesting turnips with the crew and by lunchtime I was in early labor! Our sweet baby girl was born early Friday morning and we are so happy she is here! Everyone is doing well and resting up the best we can!

This week we are SO proud of our amazing crew for kicking ass and stepping up. We’ve got 130 CSA members, 3 crew members, and a harvest list that is growing longer by the week. Our Tumbleweed Farm team is truly the best and we could not survive this season without them!

This week’s box is full of some tasty treats and we hope you all love the bounty!

Happy cooking and eating everyone!

Your farmers,
Andrea, Taylor, little Pepper and baby Maize

2022 Harvest 6

Howdy folks and welcome to week 6! We’re so happy with the weather recently. A few hot days was necessary for our summer crops and now the cooler weather coming in this week is a total treat. This is feeling like a good old fashioned Pacific Northwest summer from my childhood.

We hope you all are enjoying the leafy greens while we’ve got them. Summer crops are definitely delayed this year (zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, melons, eggplants, etc.) and while they’re growing, they have had a slow start. We actually lost over 180 watermelon plants earlier this month due to the cold nights. We’re sitting up at a little elevation here at the farm and with so many spring nights in the 30’ and 40’s things had a hard time establishing in the fields. But we’re turning a corner and feeling optimistic!

Anyhow, we hope you all made some room in your refrigerators for this week’s haul!

Happy cooking and eating everyone.

Your farmers,
A & T & Little P
