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!
