Farm Happenings for September 23, 2021

Hi Friends,

Our Fall Harvest has decided to come in a week early! We are okay with that - and hope you are too! An extra week of yummy food is always okay in our book! This farm stand order is open to EVERYONE! You do not have to be a member to participate. We do have a minimum order amount of $20.00. We have also tried to offer as many pick up locations as we can...but please know, we are combining two days of pick ups into one, so not every location could be included. If you do not see your regular pick up - please check and see if there is one that is nearby.

We have a lot of variety and hope that you will scoop up lots of the bounty that we are providing this week. Help us, help you! :)

Our annual Family Farm Day is scheduled for Saturday November 6th. It's a great day to come see the farm, meet your farmers and know where and how your food is grown. Its a fun-filled day! Your children and grandchildren will love seeing all the animals, taking pony-cart rides and picking whatever produce is still coming in. Let your children see where food is grown! It will impact them for years to come! And you will love it too! :) More to come on this soon!

If you have any questions on this Farm Stand order, please don't hesitate to ask! We are here to help! See you Thursday!!

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!
