Farm Happenings for June 2-4, 2020

Wow! We're getting ready for our first delivery of June! Did that date surprise you as much as it did us? We are starting week three and are so excited to add some new veggies to the mix! Our Spring Greens continue to come in as the summer veggies continue to grow. The squash plants are blooming and so are the tomatoes....some of our early tomato plants that we started in the hoop house, already have little green tomatoes on them. It won't be long!!

The strawberries should continue for a couple more weeks...maybe longer. I'm including a picture of my little niece....in her happy place! I would love for you to send any pictures of your kids enjoying our farm shares that we can share with our members - or tag us on FB and Instagram! Children eating fruits and veggies is a wonderful thing...especially when they discover things like... peas come in pods - and taste like candy compared to the mushy ones in a can! Or, potatoes grow in the ground and freshly dug ones still have dirt on them! What a beautiful thing to teach our children and grandchildren where their food comes from!

As always, we appreciate all your support and encouragement!!

Farmhouse Nashville was born out of necessity. As a mother of four young children, I desired to feed my family nourishing food, healing food, local food and affordable food. I was disheartened at the prices of organic and was determined not to feed my family food that was from factory farms and laden with chemicals, pesticides and shipped in from thousands of miles away! Was that even possible? Seventeen years ago I joined a raw milk co-op in West Nashville. It was a step in the right direction. Our raw milk farmer was an Old Order Mennonite farmer. We were thrilled to have found a source for affordable, clean, healthy milk. Finding organic produce in this same community was a lot harder than I envisioned. It is a myth that Amish and Mennonite farmers are organic. Only two farmers in this community are growing organically. After months of searching, I discovered Golden Rule farm growing against the "grain" of the community. They were convinced and convicted that organic farming was the only way to grow nourishing, flavorful foods that would heal not only our bodies, but the land. Our partnership was only the beginning of this story. We started offering CSA shares to friends and family in Lebanon, then Mount Juliet and today, we serve hundreds of families in Middle Tennessee. Our commitment to nutrient-dense produce, pasture raised eggs and meats is undeniable. We work together to offer food that is not only healthier but affordable for families. We believe that foods grown organically are naturally best, but we also know that foods raised without the use of pesticides, chemicals and herbicides are healing the land. We use trace minerals and nutrients to enrich the soil. Organic is good, but nutrient-dense is better! Come share in the harvest and see and taste the difference of Fresh, Local, Real Food!
