Farm Happenings for June 28, 2022

Week 8~ It's hard to believe that we are two months into the CSA season. This week we are excited to offer our Red,White and Blue potatoes. Technically, the potatoes are more of a purple...but it's a great theme the week before July 4th, so we're going with it! The tomatoes are coming in strong along with cabbage, kale, carrots and summer squash. If you are interested in canning tomatoes - let us know!

It won't be long til the blackberries are sweet and the melons are ready...watermelon and cantaloupe! Our sweet corn is growing well and despite the lack of rain, everything is looking pretty good. However, we do need rain - along with so many others! Please pray for rain as you give thanks for your food!

We hope you have a wonderful week!

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!
