Farm Happenings for June 23-25, 2020

Hello Friends,

We are excited to send more farm fresh goodness your way! Our tomatoes should start to make an appearance soon, we've actually had a handful ripen over the last week. We raise a variety of tomatoes from heirloom to summer slices and cherry! We love a good tomato sandwich!

Our summer produce is starting to come in as we wave goodbye to the spring greens. We have decided to offer a short fall season. We will start the last week of September and go for four weeks or so. Please let us know if this is something that you plan to participate in. We can automatically enroll you, which saves time and money!

Our melons should start to ripen the first or second week of July! They should be nice and sweet since melons prefer hot, dry weather. Wet conditions dilute the sweetness. We look forward to sending lots of these melons soon!!

Hope you all have/had a Happy Father's Day...or week, if you are lucky enough to be so spoiled!

Thank you for your support - we couldn't do this without you!

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!
