Farm Happenings for August 27, 2020

Hello Friends,

Our family just returned from a relaxing trip to the Gulf coast. It was just what we needed! The sand, sun and smiles were a perfect combination! It has been waaay too long since we've been able to slip away and enjoy some down time. Now that we are back, we felt like it would be a good time to offer a Pop Up Farm Stand for those of you who are missing some of the farm fresh goodness!

We are in between seasons and our Fall Season doesn't start until the end of September. Right now we have lots of watermelons, potatoes, peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and winter squash that we would love to send your way. The variety is limited, but we plan to include larger quantities in the shares. We also have limited pick up locations and all locations will pick up on Thursday August 27th. Our Farm Store is also open and you could add some of our Fresh Baked Sourdough Bread, Pastured Eggs, Jams and Jellies and pickled items! To order any of these extra items go here: Farm Store

Keep an eye out for our Bulk Pastured Chicken order that will happen in the next few weeks! Our birds are going to freezer camp soon and will be super delicious!! If you've never tried a pasture raised chicken...you are missing out! They roast up beautifully and have a lovely taste and texture! Don't miss out on this bulk order!!

Don't forget to sign up for our Fall 2020 Season that will start at the end of September! You can sign up here: Fall Season

We plan to offer green beans, tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, potatoes, peppers, greens, summer squash, watermelons, sweet potatoes, winter squash, field peas, and so much more! It's going to be four fabulous weeks of fall produce!!

We hope you are having a wonderful August and look forward to seeing many of you on Thursday!!

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!
