Farm Happenings for July 21- 23, 2020

Hello Friends,

We have been so thrilled with the produce that we have been blessed to send your way. The melons are coming in, along with sweet corn, tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, potatoes, cabbage, green beans and peppers. The picture we have included is from last season - but is such a good look at many of the yummy things that are coming in right about now!

Our farmers are busy day and night keeping the weeds at bay, feeding the plants with trace minerals to keep them healthy and strong and watching lots of babies being born. There are two new colts on the farm, kittens, chicks and piglets. It'a a busy time...long hot days and sweet sleeping nights. Farming is hard work, but it's equally rewarding!

We are opening the Farm Store again this week. We will have some of our lovely pasture raised eggs, jams and jellies, baked goods and more! Be sure to check it out here: http://www.farmhousenashville.com/store/2950

Ordering is easy, just click on the department, add items to your cart, choose your pick up location ( Tuesday July 21st pick up or Thursday July 23rd pick up) and check out!

We hope you all are enjoying the sweet corn as much as our family. We love to shuck it, cut it off the cob and add it fresh to salads....and sometimes we just eat it raw right off the cob! It's so delicious! We've had our share of tomato sandwiches this week as well! Summer melons have been a wonderful treat this week as well! My youngest looked at her plate the other night and said, 'Mom, it's a rainbow!' - Yes, my sweet one, it certainly is! Enjoy!

Have a wonderful week, friends!

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!
