Farm Happenings for August 1, 2023

Week 13~

The first week of August! Wow! The summer has really been flying by! It has been one of our best seasons yet. The Lord was so good to bring plenty of rain so far this season.

We will continue our regular season until August 24th. This will give us four more weeks in August. We will then take a short break to prepare for fall crops and pick back up the last week of September and run for another four weeks. Basically, we still have eight more weeks of CSA goodness to share with your family! Hooray! :)

This week, we have some white grapes, lots of melons, tomatoes, green beans, sweet corn, peppers, potatoes and so much more! We hope that you are enjoying everything that we are growing. It is definitely a labor of love!

We look forward to seeing many of you this week! Have a wonderful start to August!

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!
