Farm Happenings for July 18, 2023

Week 11~

Rain, beautiful Rain! We have been so blessed this season with adequate rain. Those of you who were members last year remember the hot, dry summer that we experienced. It was rough! We are so thankful for all of the rain that we have been blessed to receive so far this summer.

This week we have tomatoes, lots of corn, and bell peppers to add to the mix. If you are wanting to put up any corn or tomatoes - now is the time! We will have bushel boxes of corn available to order. The bushel box holds around 4-5 dozen ears of corn and runs $50. We have canning boxes of tomatoes as well for $40. This is about 25lbs of canners. Please email (farmhousenashville@gmail.com) or text (615-693-2519) to reserve your extra tomatoes or corn.

Our summer season will run through August 29th. This will give you 16 weeks of the summer produce. Our melons should be coming in soon - and they will last long into August. Once our summer season breaks, we will pick up the fall season starting September 26th. The fall season will run until October 19th. This will be a four week season. You will be automatically added to the fall season, so there is no need to do anything on your part...unless you do not want to auto-renew.

Our annual Family Farm Day will be Saturday October 28th. This will be a wonderful day to come see the farm in Scottsville, KY and learn how we grow your food, where it's grown and by whom. Your children will love it -and so will you! We will have a wagon ride around the farm, the opportunity to pick things that are still growing and take pony cart rides. Come meet your farmers face to face!

We hope you have a wonderful week, friends!

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!
