Farm Happenings for June 16-18, 2020

My goodness this month is flying by! How can we already be half way through June? I suppose time waits for no one and nothing.... not even strawberries! We were delighted to be able to send strawberries to everyone last week despite our best guesses! The strawberries will probably start to slow down soon, but as long as they are out there - we will continue to send them! Enjoy!!

We expect to see our early tomatoes by the end of June or first of July - and the melons too! The green and red cabbage are coming in hot and heavy right now...grilled, steamed or used in coleslaw, we love it any way we can get it! Our summer squash is starting to make an appearance as well as green beans! We hope you enjoying watching your farm share from week to week. Spring to summer produce seems to happen pretty quickly!

We are planning to offer a short, but sweet, fall CSA. We will send out the details once we have the dates nailed down, but we are thinking the last week of September or first week of October we will start and run for four weeks or so. Keep an eye out for those details to be shared in the next couple of weeks!

Thanks again for all the sweet text, emails and smiles that we encounter week to week. They mean so much!!

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!
