MARKET NEWS
This week place your preorders with Funny Farm, Pine Row Farm and The Pasturage and then plan to stop by the market Saturday. Your preorders are appreciated!
Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, Sweetwater friends! Looks like a few more days of summer before the weather cools. Things are winding down around here but some new
stuff is coming. I have a small batch of spinach ready to pick and
there’s more winter squash coming to market. Red peppers are still
ripening but some stuff is slowing down. Here’s what I plan to bring but
remember, there’s always something that I didn’t list that I will bring,
just not sure what it will be. If there’s something on the list you’d
like to have, text me and I will hold it for you.
Spinach
Acorn squash
Butternut squash
Autumn frost squash
Spaghetti squash
Onions, red and yellow
Red sweet peppers
Sweet Heat peppers, small and spicy, not real hot
Red hot peppers, hotter than the little ones
Cabbages
Kale, curly
Potatoes, maybe the end of the season for them
Carrots
For preorders: 734 945 0720 is where
you can text me. Thanks for your support this year!

The Pasturage of Montague
Hi Sweetwater friends, we will be able to deliver this coming weekend, 10/4, so keep us in mind. My dune class was great; I learned a ton, even though I grew up going to Hoffmaster and reading their displays. So thank you for your gracious indulgence of a Saturday occupied other than the market!
Our online form is updated to include whole animal orders. We’ve had a lot of inquiries over the summer about whole or half lambs and hogs. Our slaughter dates are coming up and the online pre-order form outlines dates and details. If you are interested, check out https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056 under the Whole tab.
Also, don’t forget our turkey tour! Join us Sunday, October 12 at 3pm to meet your holiday dinner!
