Farm Happenings for May 10, 2022

Hooray! The first delivery of the 2022 CSA! We are so excited to share our first harvest with you! We are including strawberries, lettuce, spring onions, green garlic, cilantro, mustard greens, turnip greens, lemon balm, oregano, thyme, kale, pasture raised eggs and spinach in this first box.

Remember to adjust your preferences in your Harvie account! This is how your box is built. Harvie is our software system and builds your box based on what you like...or prefer. Be sure everything is marked. If you don't like something- we don't put it in your share. If you would like to see more or less of something - be sure your preferences are up to date!

We will also have some pantry items in the shares too. This week we have local honey, maple syrup, organic oats, local flour, organic cane sugar, coconut oil and even some goat's milk soap! We are especially excited to offer some local, pasture raised chicken as well! If you order chicken, please be sure to check the cooler at your pick up site. If you are home delivery, please leave a cooler out for your order.

We are looking forward to a wonderful season with you and your family!

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!
