MARKET NEWS
At the market this week you’ll find Liberty Family Farm & Pine Row Farm with apples, meat, eggs, baked goods, honey & maple syrup available for both preorder and walk up sales on Saturday.
Please also check out the Sweetwater Verified vendors who sell either on farm or elsewhere; we’ve updated that list with Crow’s Nest garlic and Laughing Tree’s bake schedule for the month. A drive to Fremont gets you Kaufmans Farm certified organic veggies (they still have tomatoes!) & if you’re thinking of a CSA next year be sure to look at Tortoise & Hare Farm.

The Pasturage of Montague
Hi Folks! Winter is truly here and I am truly happy about it. For us, snow means so many good things: it interrupts the parasite cycle for the animals, it’s not muddy, it gives the sheep and pigs something to investigate, it insulates the standing tall grass that we leave in the pasture creating a lovely home for field mice and other critters, it shows us the tracks of deer, coyotes, and birds that clearly know our land and traverse it regularly, and it’s easier to see them because they don’t blend in the background. Yesterday, Dan saw a bald eagle!
However, I don’t like driving in it. I took our pigs in to the slaughterhouse and I’m thankful there was a break in the weather. We should have pork back in stock in two weeks.
In the meantime, our current offerings are listed on our online pre-order form found at www.thepasturage.com/order where we also post prices and ingredients.
Happy Holidays!
Julie

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.
