Farm Happenings for June 1, 2021

Welcome June! May seemed to fly by - and now, June is here (well, almost here if you are reading this before June 1st). This week we have lots of cabbage coming in and new potatoes! Our strawberries are starting to make the turn and we will start to see less and less of them from now on. Haven't they been a dream? This has been our best season yet for strawberries! We hope that your family is enjoying them as much as we are. Our squash and zucchini are on the cusp of being ripe, our Thursday delivery friends may see them this week! June is normally the transition month from spring veggies to summer veggies! Eating with the seasons is not only exciting - but far more healthy! Read more here!

We wanted to also remind you to be sure and pick up your farm share at the designated pick up times. We are unable to keep your farm share overnight since it is perishable and we do not want this delicious food to be wasted. If your farm share is not picked up, please know that we will donate it to a person or family who needs it! Remember, friends and family members are welcome to pick up your share anytime!

Hope you have a wonderful first week of June!

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!
