The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Look for squash, potatoes, holiday wreaths, and possibly a fresh batch of microgreens.
Our 2024 CSA shares launched this week and are live on our website! Current offerings include our main season CSA, flower CSA, and flexible market cards. I am excited for another wonderful year full of abundant harvests and welcoming members both old and new onto the farm! If you would like to learn more about CSA, click the link below! Your early season support of a CSA means the absolute world and is incredibly helpful in navigating the slow season until veg is back in full swing!
I am also excited to announce that I am offering a CSA raffle! After a big ol’ real estate mistake and 2 seasons without water, the farm has taken quite a financial hit. I currently have about $5000 more to save before we are able to have a professional well drilled, as well as need to get our hoop house paid off by the end of the year!
I have been thinking of ways to make this happen, and the idea of a raffle has brought about much positive support!
For the raffle, I will be raffling off 3 individual items: 1 Full Share Veg CSA Share ($ 600 value), 1 Full Share Flower CSA ($200 value), and 1 $100 Market Card.
-Raffle Entries are $25 each or 5 for $100
-Winners will be drawn on Sunday, December 10th.
To enter, you are able to pay for entries at the market any Saturday from now through
12/9/23. You may also pay for entries via Venmo ( @thewoventrifecta). I appreciate the support and wish all who enter the best of luck!
*You will also find Scholl Farm squash & potatoes at my booth.
Cheers to Good Growing!

Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, friends! Hope the holiday season is treating you well. I would
like to come back for at least one week before the next holiday so if
you’re stuffing some stockings this month, how about some homemade jelly
to help fill it up. Or maybe a bowl cozy or two for the one that’s hard
to buy for. At this time I can design custom patterns for someone
special. Text or call and we can discuss this option. I love baking and
it helps keep the house warm so I’m excited to bring my favorite Alton
Brown Blueberry muffins for your morning breakfast. I use local
blueberries and King Arthur flours. They are moist and crumbly, perfect
treats. I’m going to keep an eye on the weather and hope that I can come
on Dec 16 or 23. You can text me at 734 945 0720 and I’ll be sure to
have your order prepared for you. Thank you for your support this year
and always. Here’s my list of jellies available.
Jelly, with Pomona’s pectin: elderberry and blackberry/elderberry mix $8
Jelly with regular pectin: apple, crab apple/kiwi,
kiwi, elderberry, blueberry and wild grape $5

The Pasturage of Montague
Hi all!  What a great snowy kick-off to the best time of the year!  We are not sure when we will be back to Sweetwater equipped for walk-up sales.  However, if you place a pre-order online (www.thepasturage.com/order), I’ll do my best to get it to Sweetwater on the date that you wish.  In the meantime, we will be at Muskegon farmer’s market inside the big red building with the white garage doors.  We have all sorts of lamb back in stock: loin chops, rib chops, rack of lamb, spicy breakfast links, brisket, neck roast, and gyro brats (please note: this is a different recipe!  The ingredients are listed on our online pre-order form).  We have turkey in stock: frozen whole birds, boneless breast, thigh, drumstick, wings, soup bones, feet, necks, gizzards, livers, (and a partridge in a pear tree.)  We will have pork back in stock on Dec. 16 including bacon, chorizo, whole smoked ham, ham slices, breakfast links, and smoked hocks.  On our online pre-order form, you can place an order for lamb and turkey, and at the request of some of you folks, you can even pre-order bacon.  Again, our online pre-order form is the best way to find out what we have in stock, the possible allergens in our sausages and smoked meats, prices, and pick up options.  Thank you!  Merry Christmas! All of the above options are on our pre-order form at www.thepasturage.com/order/

I have been thinking of ways to make this happen, and the idea of a raffle has brought about much positive support!
For the raffle, I will be raffling off 3 individual items: 1 Full Share Veg CSA Share ($ 600 value), 1 Full Share Flower CSA ($200 value), and 1 $100 Market Card.

The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Wow! That snow last week really did the field in! We measured 11″ in the field, and similar to the many trees that snapped under the pressure of the snow, many of my established field crops did the same. I have high hopes that the brassicas will bounce back, and I am crossing my fingers for the tender greens that were so close to being ready for harvest!
Due to the current conditions of the field, I am not sure what this week’s harvest will bring, but I will provide a Friday update! 
In the meantime, I have been working hard on holiday wreaths, as well as have been setting up for microgreens! (keep your eyes peeled for an update on when microgreens will be back on the market table!)
Our 2024 CSA shares launched this week and are live on our website! Current offerings include our main season CSA, flower CSA, and flexible market cards. I am excited for another wonderful year full of abundant harvests and welcoming members both old and new onto the farm! If you would like to learn more about CSA, click the link below! Your early season support of a CSA means the absolute world and is incredibly helpful in navigating the slow season until veg is back in full swing!
I am also excited to announce that I am offering a CSA raffle! After a big ol’ real estate mistake and 2 seasons without water, the farm has taken quite a financial hit. I currently have about $5000 more to save before we are able to have a professional well drilled, as well as need to get our hoop house paid off by the end of the year! 
I have been thinking of ways to make this happen, and the idea of a raffle has brought about much positive support!
For the raffle, I will be raffling off 3 individual items: 1 Full Share Veg CSA Share ($ 600 value), 1 Full Share Flower CSA ($200 value), and 1 $100 Market Card.
-Raffle Entries are $25 each or 5 for $100

Happy November (almost!)
This Saturday marks the first November market of the season and I am happy to report that while the field has sure slowed down, it is still filled abundantly with hardy fall crops to keep us nourished in the coming weeks + months.
I will have assorted crops for walk up sales!
I will also begin bringing foraged holiday wreathes this week! I have collected and dried many beautiful flowers and foliage throughout the season and have been enjoying assembling them into wreathes and swags to celebrate the season ahead.
Stop by and check them out!
Lastly, I am excited to announce that I will be opening sign ups for my 2024 main season CSA this week! CSA seems to fill up quicker and quicker each year – if you would like to guarantee yourself a full season of abundant harvests, consider joining! Hop on over to my website for additional details (will be published Wednesday November 1st!)
Cheers to good growing!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice
If we need to cancel a market due to severe weather I will send out a separate email no later than Friday evening before a market notifying you that we will be closed. I will post the same message to our FB & Instagram pages as well as the website. If you know people who are regulars to the market and not in the habit of checking emails please let them know. Thanks!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR How to Pre-Order
1. Look over the list. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order by email to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash on market day pickup.

STAY IN TOUCH!
