Farm Happenings for October 18, 2022

LAST WEEK! Wow! It is hard to believe that this is the final week of the season! Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement this year. Speaking of encouragement...THANK YOU to everyone who voted us the BEST CSA in NASHVILLE! This is the 7th year that we have been named the Best in Nashville - and I must say, we STILL cannot believe it! :)

Please mark your calendar for Saturday November 5th! This will be our FAMILY FARM DAY! It is a great time for your family to come visit the farm. Check out where your food comes from, how it's grown and pick your own produce to take home. It will be a wonderful time! We will have pony-cart rides, hay rides around the farm and a great time of fellowship! Pack a lunch an join us!

Thank you again for supporting us this season! It is a privilege and blessing to farm for your 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!
