Farm Happenings for August 10, 2021

Our LAST week of the Summer Season! 14 weeks of Farm Fresh Food! We hope that you have been enjoying it as much as we have. Thank you for supporting us over the last several months. This week is technically our second bonus week. This is our second week that we added onto the original season, so remember, you have not paid for this week upfront. You will see a charge for the full price of the full share ($28) or the half share ($18) on your credit card. We had a few questions about that last week and just wanted to make sure you were aware.

Also, our Fall Season will kick off the last Tuesday September 28th and Thursday the 30th, depending on your delivery day! Until then, we will take a short break to prepare for the fall. If you are interested, you are welcome to come to the farm sometime over the break and pick anything that you want! We will still have tomatoes and melons, peppers and squash available. The farm is located at 612 Shores Road in Scottsville KY. We ask that you come any day but Sundays. Come glean our fields!

This week we have lots of watermelons available, concord grapes, hot and spicy tomato juice, canning tomatoes, sweet mini-bell peppers and so much more!!! We hope you and your family have enjoyed eating the fruits of our labor. We praise God for His faithfulness and blessings! May He continue to bless your family too!

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!
