Farm Happenings for June 18, 2024

Week 6~

The hot weather has officially arrived. We try and work early, avoid high noon and then get back to it in the afternoon. This week we have plenty of new potatoes, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, cabbage, cucumbers and carrots. Our tomatoes are starting to come in - so if you do not get any this week, there will be more coming!

The week of July 4th, we are going to switch our delivery days due to July 4th falling on a Thursday.

If you normally pick up on Tuesdays we will deliver on Monday July 1st. If you pick up on Thursdays, we will be delivering on Wednesday July 3rd.

Remember, you can always put your share on hold if you need to skip a delivery!

Have a wonderful week!

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!
