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.
