Farm Happenings for July 20, 2021

Week 11

Hi Friends, we are almost to the end of the Summer season, however, we will be adding on an additional week or two in August. This will mean our summer season will be extended from 12 weeks to 14 weeks. We will bill the card on file for these two additional weeks. Your schedule of weekly or bi-weekly will remain the same. Please let us know if you have any questions. You can always put this share on hold or opt out if you are not wanting the additional shares.

Tomatoes are at their peak right now, so if you have any interest in canning or freezing tomatoes, now is the time to order!! One of the easiest methods for making marinara sauce is the crock pot method: Recipe We have several boxes of canners available this week, so be sure and stock up for fall and winter! It's so nice to pull tomatoes out of the freezer for soups and casseroles.

We have re-stocked our freshly ground, local, whole wheat, flour. This will make the most delicious biscuits and bread! Your family will LOVE it!

There is a beautiful assortment of squash available right now: Long Island Cheese, Buttercup, Marango, Speckled Hound, Butternut and Delica. These make wonderful soups, puddings and of course are delicious roasted!

We are making plans for our annual Family Farm Day in late October or early November. As soon as we have a date set, we will let you know!

Just a quick reminder, our fall season will not start until the last week of September! We plan to take a break for fall planting from mid August til the end of September.

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? 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!
