Farm Happenings for August 2, 2022

Week 13~ We are extending our summer season through August. There are so many wonderful things still coming in! This week we have melons, tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, cherry tomatoes, summer squash, green beans, white grapes, potatoes, garlic, local honey, cornmeal and onions! We are including some green tomatoes as well, in case anyone wants to fry some up! Dip them in the cornmeal - and you have a wonderful fried green tomato!

We plan to skip several weeks in September to prepare for our fall season. We will give you a head's up prior to the break so you may plan accordingly.

Our faithful home delivery driver, Jared, will be returning to college next week. If you see him, be sure and wish him well. He is a wonderful, reliable worker and we will miss him dearly. Look for his younger brother, Bryce, to fill in for the remainder of the season. We will also be losing Abbie, who helps with home deliveries and runs our Brentwood pick up location. She will be leaving at the end of August to return to college as well. If you see her, be sure and wish her well! We couldn't do everything that we need to do without these young folks! We are so thankful for their help - and know you are too!

We will be adding a few new delivery drivers over the next several weeks. If you see a new face, be sure and give them a wave!

Thank you so much for your continued support this season! We are thankful for each of you!

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!
