Farm Happenings for May 24, 2022

Week 3! This week we are excited to see some of our delicious english sweet peas available, swiss chard, red and green lettuce, the beginnings of yellow squash, red beets, kale, and so much more~ The Strawberries are still coming in strong. We hope you are enjoying all of these spring time treats!

We are trying to improve our packing accuracy. You will start to notice some initials on your packing labels. This is to help us have more accountability when packing your share. It is our desire to never make a mistake with your order, be we are human! If you find that something is missing from your share (by mistake) please take a picture of your label and text the picture to me (Stephanie) 615-693-2519. You can also email it to me (farmhousenashville@gmail.com). Most of the time we only hear about the mistakes we unfortunately make from time to time. We also love seeing when our customers are happy with their shares! Please also, feel free to send me pictures of your family enjoying your farm share as well. It's nice to pass on your compliments and happiness to our hard working farm family! It sure makes those early mornings and long hot days worthwhile to know that families all over middle TN are enjoying the fruits of our labor!

One last bit of house-keeping to pass along... All of our hostesses are volunteers. Please be considerate of their time and arrive at the appointed time frame allotted to your pick up site. We understand that life happens, but please try and pick up your share as promptly as possible. We appreciate our host so much! Without them, we would not be able to be in some many different locations at the same time! Be sure and show your host some love~

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!
