Farm Happenings for July 28-30, 2020

We are down to the last two weeks of the Summer CSA! We're not quite ready to see it come to an end, but we do hope to at least send you away with a good taste in your mouth! Please remember that we are taking a six week break and will resume our Fall season the last week of September. This fall season will run for four weeks and we hope to have more broccoli, cauliflower, acorn squash, lettuces, sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, butternut and spaghetti squash, late tomatoes and lots more! It will be a chance to end with some of our cooler weather crops! If you are interested in Signing Up, you can check out the details HERE

This week we are sending more summer veggies your way and hope to have melons for everyone! Last week with melons and farm shares, we figured up that we were hauling over 5,000 lbs on Tuesday! We are thankful for strong arms and backs! We couldn't do this without the help of family, from picking to packing, loading and unloading....it's a family affair and we all sleep good at night! Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you all in the fall!!

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!
