Farm Happenings for August 23, 2022

Week 16~ THE LAST WEEK of the Regular Season! We made it! 16 weeks of delicious, seasonal, local produce! We will now take a short break to prepare for our fall season. We plan to start back up the last week of September and go for four more weeks. But before we do, this week we are sending yellow watermelons, home-made spaghetti sauce, green beans, grapes, summer squash, peppers, canned tomato chunks and so much more your way! Stock up on the canned products - they are wonderful! It's so nice to have them in the pantry to pull out for soups, sauces and casseroles.

We appreciate each one of you and your continued support and enthusiasm! Supporting a small farmer is no easy task. You are dedicated to eating with the seasons, you understand that everything doesn't always grow well, may have bug bites - or a worm, and you are loyal to working with the contents of the box that we send each week. Thank you! Your support means that we can continue to do what we love, what we know and our family can continue to sleep well at night.

Have a wonderful September and we will see you in a month!

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!
