Farm Happenings for May 30, 2023

Week 4! Happy Memorial Day! We honor all of those who have served and are currently serving. Thank you for your courage and dedication to serve and protect our country. You are the true heroes! Thank you!

This week we are excited to see more cabbage, new potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and sweet peas on the menu! :) We have additional baked goods and micro-greens. If you eat micro-greens before or after the pecan cookies, does it negate the cookies??? I think it might! :)

The micro-greens from Florita Farms are delicious on just about anything and make me feel like I am doing my body a serious favor. They are packed full of nutrients and taste so yummy. We had microgreens, mint, pecans and pineapple on a salad one night and it was marvelous! My kids loved it too! Here are some of out other favorite ways to use our farm box each week. Let me know if this is helpful:

We love steamed cabbage, cabbage cut up -sprinkled with olive oil and seasonings and then put in the oven to crisp up, we even love cabbage on the grill...and don't forget coleslaw!

To use up all of the lettuce we have been receiving...we have lettuce on every sandwich and we have eaten a ton of salads...our favorites are taco salad, chicken-salad and cobb.

One of my FAVORITE ways to fix Kale is here: Kale Salad Recipe

Hope you have a wonderful week! Thank you for your support and encouragement!

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!
