The Pasturage of Montague
Howdy folks, it’s humid. As if you didn’t notice. When I get up in the morning, the moisture just hangs in the air above the pasture. Later in the day, we give the pigs a wallow and mist the chickens. To me, it seems odd to fight humidity with more water, but evaporative cooling works wonders. One time I sprayed the sheep, but they did not care for it!
Check out our online pre-order form for pork, lamb, chicken and turkey. We’ll have another round of chicken going to slaughter July 29. If you’d like to buy in bulk and break down yourself, let me know.

The Pasturage of Montague
Happy Fourth of July! We hope you enjoy time with family and friends, maybe take in a parade and some fireworks. I’m not a fan of big booms; I’ve always been a baby about my ears. The best fireworks show I ever saw was from a plane at 30,000feet as I traveled west over the US and you could see each town having its own celebration. And now, onto the meaty things: we carry chicken and turkey, in addition to pork and lamb, all year round. Our pre-order form (https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056).lists all we have in stock. If you’d like to buy whole chickens, fresh, in bulk, and either break them down yourself or package them yourself, we will have them available July 30-Aug 2. Email me if you’re interested.
Tootaloo!

The Pasturage of Montague
I hope you are all surviving the heat. We got creative in the pasture to keep everyone cool. It involves a lot of misting the chickens, creating a wallow for the pigs and moving the sheep into the woods. Thank goodness we have abundant water. I can’t imagine being in a desert, although I suppose they don’t have the humidity.
We are back at Montague market in addition to the Muskegon market, and we can deliver to Sweetwater for your Fourth of July menu. We just picked up more lamb sausages including brats, Greek gyro brats, breakfast links and spicy breakfast links. Plus we have some new pork sausages including brat patties and breakfast patties in addition to all our links: brats, jalapeno brats, hot Italian and breakfast links.
Happy almost holiday!

We’ve decided our longstanding market stall is a better fit for us overall, so you can find us back in Stall 135!
Hope to see you at the market soon–outdoor market is open 8–2pm and is already very lively! Asparagus is happening, garden plants are abundant, and the energy is invigorating!

The Pasturage of Montague
Thank you to all that came to the Muskegon market the other weekend and helped us move a whole bunch of defrosted meat. Our little quarter chest freezer that we used for the Montague market gave up the ghost. We are so glad that you all took it for the team and went home with ready to cook meat at a discount. Enjoy!
Our online pre-orderform is back up, although our website is still down. Here is the link: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056

We have piglets! They’re doing quite well despite our cool weather. When their mom steps out to feed, they burrow into the straw and when we call into the house to check on them, they pop their heads up, straw sliding off their snout. It’s endlessly entertaining. They’re just so darn cute in how piggy they are, even when so small. In warmer afternoons, they wander out and scratch themselves on honeysuckle stubs, just like their mama, grunting the whole time. That straw must be awful itchy! If you find yourself interested in raising your own pig in your backyard, these piglets will be available in about 4-6 weeks. If not, no worries, we’ll keep providing all the grillable goods with no sentimental connection.
Our website is down currently… at this rate, it might be down forever. I can raise animals but web development is not my specialty. Maybe sometime in the future I’ll rejoin the virtual world. Until then, call or text my cell 23one 288 6 one one2.

Join us at the outdoor market! We will be in a different stall this season–Stall 149. It is directly across from where we’ve been the last 5 years so we won’t be hard to find… We are excited for the outdoor season! The outdoor market is open 8–2pm.

The Pasturage of Montague
As of this writing, some of our chicks are lost in the mail. It’s very concerning. Well, I guess I shouldn’t say lost. The status changes periodically from “in transit” to leaving Philadelphia (twice) and now “arriving late.” Two boxes did arrive the day after hatch. Then another box the day after that. But now, it’s been 4 days and no cheeps to be heard. The most interesting thing is they all hatched on the same day. This is part of the reason why I want to move away from using hatcheries and raise our own. Enter the Wyandotte, a heritage breed of chicken that produces both eggs and meat (albeit a very different meat than most of us are used to). We have a couple hundred on premises and of different ages. We’ll start offering eggs in a few weeks when the oldest hens recover from being transported (did I mention transport is stressful for chickens?) In August or September, we’ll have meat for sale. Think chicken pot pie, chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings. I’ll keep you posted.
In the meantime, we still have a few cuts from our fall slaughter of the Sasso broiler chickens. And we’ll raise the 3 boxes we have received so there will be more in early August for your grill.

Laughing Tree Bakery
Join us for the FIRST outdoor market of 2025! We will be in a different stall this season–Stall 149. It is directly across from where we’ve been the last 5 years so we won’t be hard to find… We are excited for the outdoor season to begin! The outdoor market is open 8–2pm.

The Pasturage of Montague
Truly, spring has arrived: the peepers in our pond are deafening. I like the “natural silence” but for those not accustomed to their cacophony, it can be disturbing. We also have an astonishing number of pollywogs. Apparently, the former owners used to raise frogs and sell frog legs so we have whopper sizes bullfrogs that add to the chorus. Now, they feed our green and blue herons that frequent our shore. But we can change that. Let me know if you’d like us to sell frog legs!
Otherwise, stick to the lamb, pork, chicken and turkey found on our list at https://thepasturage.com/order.

The Pasturage of Montague
How-dee. I built a new type of brooder to keep our chicks warm. It’s called an Ohio brooder, or hover brooder, and it’s supposed to help prevent fires from the heat lamp. The number of people that I know personally that have burned down their house or barn or shelter (not to mention the animals), plus the one time we had a near fire ourselves (thankfully Dan caught it while it was only smoke), have convinced me to upgrade. Heat lamps seem so innocent. But wow, can they do damage in a hurry. Other types of small scale supplemental heat aren’t much better based on reviews I’ve read, so… cross your fingers that Ohio will come through! We’ll use it for our laying hen chicks, meat chicks and turkey poults.
We still have chicken and turkey in stock now, from whole birds to cuts of every kind. Plus lamb and pork. Check out our list at https://thepasturage.com/order or call or email. Anyway you want to communicate is fine with me… well… except pinstagram or facetok… I’m not really equipped to mediate socially.
Tootles!
