Farm Happenings for August 16, 2022

Week 15~ We are rocking and rolling with all of our summer produce. The green beans are still coming in really well. The green grapes and concord grapes are coming in hot and heavy - if you don't mind the seeds, they are delicious! Our tomatoes are starting to dwindle a bit, but the cherry tomatoes and roma tomatoes are being picked by the bucket fulls. This week we are offering some homegrown white cornmeal. This is made from a heirloom corn seed that is called "gourd seed" and dates back to colonial times. It's pretty neat and makes a wonderful cornmeal! We hope you enjoy it and all of the fruits of our labor!

Thank you for your support and faithfulness! We LOVE our CSA families!

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!
