Farm Happenings for July 25, 2023

Week 12~

This week we have melons...watermelon and cantaloupes to be exact! Spoiler Alert...it's "possible" that these melons will not be the sweetest that you have ever had. When it's hot and dry - the melons are super sweet, but when it's rainy, it tends to dilute the flavor. Strange how that works, but it's true! However, you won't catch us complaining about the rain! :)

Just a few housekeeping notes to remember: Unfortunately, we are unable to hold your share if you are unable to pick up. It's a hardship on the host - and since the veggies are perishable, we have no way of keeping them cool. Please send a friend or family member to pick up your share if you are going to be late, otherwise we will donate the share that has not been pick up to someone who is in need.

October 28th is our Family Farm Day! This will be a wonderful day to come see the farm in Scottsville, KY (just a little over an hour North of Nashville), meet your famer and see how your food is grown. It's a low key day where you can walk around the farm, pick some produce, meet other CSA members and enjoy farm life for an afternoon!

Our Summer Season will go through the middle of August and then we will take a short break as we prepare for the Fall Season which begins in late September. The Fall Season will run four weeks.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement! We are so thankful for everyone of you!

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!
