Farm Happenings for June 14, 2022

Week 6~ We are just rolling right along, friends! This week we have lots and lots of summer squash - both zucchini and yellow! We also have tons of new potatoes, kale and swiss chard. Our green beans are just starting to come in - so if you are lucky enough to receive a bag in your share...Enjoy! We should have lots more available next week and on through the summer! Just a note on the celery, it's not like the celery you buy at the store. Think of this as an herb to flavor your food. It's small and has a wonderful flavor - but it's not what your kids will want to dip in peanut butter! ;) We love to use it in soups, casseroles or anywhere you would like to add a celery flavor!

We are still waiting for the first tomatoes to ripen....it won't be long now! A good ole tomato sandwich sounds really good right now!

We should have local honey available starting next week!

Thanks so much for all the love and encouragement! We sure do love our CSA family!

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!
