Farm Happenings for September 26, 2023

Week 1~ Fall Season!

We are so thankful that you are joining us for the four week fall season! We appreciate your support and look forward to bringing the very best of the farm to your family! This week we have peppers, potatoes, winter squash, garlic, green beans, and so much more! We canned a lot of our summer produce and will be offering that as well. Everything is grown right here on our farm and we are so pleased to share it with you!

Our kale, lettuce, mustard greens, broccoli, cauliflower and turnip greens are still growing - and need some rain! We are putting drip tape down to try and push them along. Hopefully they will be ready soon!

We look forward to seeing you at our Family Farm Day on October 28th. The address is 612 Shores Road in Scottsville KY. We hope that you can come and see where your food is grown!

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!
