Farm Happenings for May 9, 2023

Week 1 - Yay! We are officially starting the 2023 Season! This week we are offering lots of our spring time favorites! We have romaine lettuces, spring onions, mustard greens, kale, cilantro, lemon balm, garlic, thyme, local cornmeal and local flour, maple syrup and so much more! One of my family's favorite things is pancakes with the maple syrup and fresh strawberries. This year we are also adding some organic coffee that is from a trusted farm and supports a great cause. Let us know what you think of it! We hope to stock more once we hear your feedback!

Remember to log into your Harvie account to adjust your preferences. This is how we build your farm share each week. We want to make sure that you receive everything you want - and nothing you don't!

Please remember that the strawberries are just starting to come in - so if you miss out this week, we will have them for the next six weeks!

We look forward to serving your family the best of the farm all season!

Cheers to Healthy Eating.

Your Farmhouse Nashville Team

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!
