Farm Happenings for June 8, 2021

Week 4~ Lookie Lookie what's new this week...Summer Squash! We will have yellow squash and zucchini in the farm shares this week. It's always exciting to see something new coming in on the farm! We also have some beets with greens available for those of you who love them! Many of you have emailed requesting more of the fresh milled, local, whole wheat flour. This is from a neighboring farm and is GMO free wheat. It's beautiful and makes lovely biscuits!

Last week, we were able to send our half share folks a quart of strawberries instead of a pint. Our intent is to send more if it's available. We hope this gives you additional confidence in our commitment to send all that's available, even when we don't get paid for that additional amount. This isn't just a business for us - even though it is our families livelihood, this is a ministry. Our desire is to grow the very best food that we possible can for your family and to the glory of God. We see this as a way for us to contribute to the well being of you and your family. We want to see more and more families support small, local farmers that are committed to growing food that is free from chemicals and pesticides and instead full of nutrients and trace-minerals. This is how we heal our nation and our world....one family at a time! Thank you for partnering with us!

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? Fifteen 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!
