Farm Happenings for October 8, 2024

Week 2 - Fall Season!

Turnip greens and green beans are our hot item this week! One of our favorite meals is turnip greens cooked down (we flavor them by cooking in a chicken or beef stock), white beans, okra and cornbread. It's a family favorite and this week is a great time to add that to your weekly meal plan! We love seeing our greens starting to come back. We should see some kale, broccoli and cabbage before the fall season is over. The winter squash and sweet potatoes will keep for weeks if stored in a cool, dark, dry location. Be sure and stock up on some of our pantry items like cornmeal, maple syrup, honey, pickles, and relishes. The relish is great on white beans! :)

This week we are adding some pumpkins to the mix as well. We also have mums for sale! Please send us an email if you are interested in our mums!

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!
