Farm Happenings for July 27, 2021

This is the last week of our regular summer season, but we are adding on an additional two weeks in August. If you do not want to add on the additional two weeks, please make sure your auto-renew is set to off. You will find this in your account settings when you login to the Harvie farm page. If you have any questions, please contact us at farmhousenashville@gmail.com

We plan to have watermelons, cantaloupes, peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, a new planting of sweet corn, green beans, hot peppers, and more over the next couple of weeks. We appreciate your continued support this season. It's hard to predict exactly what will be growing, how much and when, but we try our best. We will have lots of delicious food still growing and because we are a member supported farm, our harvest goes directly to you, so thank you for your continued support and trust!

We are planning our Family Farm Day for late October or early November, so keep an eye out for that email with details coming soon!! This is a wonderful way to come to the farm, meet our farm family and see exactly where your food is grown. It's the best day ever!!

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!
