Farm Happenings for August 8, 2023

Week 14~

We are loving all of the summer veggies that are rolling in right now. Praise God for the beautiful rain that He has sent all season long! What a blessing it has been. Our corn has been some of the most beautiful that we have had in years. Farming is a job that is very dependent on the Lord. We plant the seeds and He brings the rain and the bounty.

We are looking forward to two more weeks of deliveries after this week. Our summer season will end on Thursday August 24th and we will begin our Fall Season on Tuesday September 26th. You will not need to sign up for the fall season. We will automatically sign you up unless you tell us otherwise. The fall season will run four weeks. Please make plans to come to our Family Farm Day on Saturday October 28th. This will be a wonderful day to meet your famer and see how and where your food is grown. Bring the whole family!

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!
