At Sweetwater this Saturday:

Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, all you Sweetwater fans! It’s been a good week to grow and things are coming along really well. There is no complaint about the weather, at least here. Sprinkles is about it for rain but we can supplant that, fortunately. It seems Beets were the big hit last week so I will bring plenty more this week! The blackberries are slowly ripening and I hope to have a few pints this week. Next week there may be a few ripe cherry tomatoes, too. If I find something that I forgot, I’ll bring that too! Here’s what I will be bringing this week. If there’s anything you’d like, please text me at
734-9450720 and I will
reserve it for you. Orders are taken in order received. Some stuff is limited so pre-order is the way to go. Thank you for your support this year and always..
New potatoes, Nicola, new Harvest Moon Blue and Chieftain Red
Swiss Chard
Kale, curly and lacinato
Collards
Broccoli, small but tasty
Summer squash and zucchini, limited qtys

Beets, lots of them!
Small cauliflower heads, limited amount
Radishes
Garlic

New Flavor of Jelly!! Wildcrafted berry jelly, made with mulberry, wild
black caps and Saskatoon or Juneberry. All locally sourced and hand
picked. And all the regular flavors, too.

The Pasturage of Montague
How-dee peeps! Join us for our turkey tour!  We’ll get up close and personal with our table fare. It is on Sunday, September 22 from 3-5 pm at the farm. We’ll be walking out to the turkeys so be prepared for long grass and whatever the weather might be.  The turkeys will answer your burning existential questions, while I’ll answer anything practical, like what do they eat.  Then we’ll leave the pasture and I’ll give you tips and tricks for the perfect Thanksgiving turkey including when to defrost and how, a brine recipe, and roasting technique. I’ll carve a chicken as an example and you can try it and see if you like the brine effect.  RSVP requested; use this form: https://form.jotform.com/241926908495167
It’s never too early to think about my favorite pastime: overeating. You can pre-order your turkey or turkey parts online at http://thepasturage.com/order along with all our other fare. We will do our best to get orders to Sweetwater and you can always find us at our spots at Muskegon Farmers Market and Montague Farmers Market.
To giving thanks!
Julie

Our produce will also be available at two locations in Grand Rapids: the Fulton Street Farmers’ Market on Friday mornings and the Creston Farmers’ Market on alternating Saturday mornings.

They are Freedom Rangers with red feathers and a slower grow-out than the white Cornish cross. They are raised on pasture with certified organic grain. We are sending them to a USDA slaughterhouse and we will have wholes and cuts. Check out our online pre-order form for the details: https://thepasturage.com/order/  Also, a friendly heads up that in a year, spring of 2025, we will discontinue the use of plastic bags. Even though we save and reuse them, we want to phase out plastic as much as possible. We encourage you to bring a bag of your own. We will have paper bags in case you forget and for pre-orders.

Hello, I’d like to thank everyone who pre-ordered and came to market
this past Saturday! We all appreciated your attendance and hope to see
you all summer. It’s nice to see everyone and the parking is a lot
easier here!
Things have slowed down with the cooler temps and not much sun, but I
hope to have more asparagus, spinach and radishes. I don’t think the
mixed lettuce will be big enough by Saturday to harvest so I will
transplant my lettuce starts and probably have more by the following
week. Your pre-orders have proved to be very helpful in knowing what to
bring to market, thank you so much for those. They are welcome info for
market. Please text me at 734 945 0720 and I will respond with the
availability of product. Thanks again for your support.
Asparagus, nearing the end
Spinach, maybe will be big enough to harvest
French Breakfast radishes, crispy and spicy, not hot
Jellies, all low-sugar varieties Elderberry, Wild grape, Kiwi, Crab
apple -Kiwi, Apple, Blueberry
MAYBE list
Hascap blueberries, early to ripen, tart-sweet flavor, also known as
