Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, all you Sweetwater fans! It’s been a good week to grow and things are coming along really well. There is no complaint about the weather, at least here. Sprinkles is about it for rain but we can supplant that, fortunately. It seems Beets were the big hit last week so I will bring plenty more this week! The blackberries are slowly ripening and I hope to have a few pints this week. Next week there may be a few ripe cherry tomatoes, too. If I find something that I forgot, I’ll bring that too! Here’s what I will be bringing this week. If there’s anything you’d like, please text me at
734-9450720 and I will
reserve it for you. Orders are taken in order received. Some stuff is limited so pre-order is the way to go. Thank you for your support this year and always..
New potatoes, Nicola, new Harvest Moon Blue and Chieftain Red
Swiss Chard
Kale, curly and lacinato
Collards
Broccoli, small but tasty
Summer squash and zucchini, limited qtys

Beets, lots of them!
Small cauliflower heads, limited amount
Radishes
Garlic

New Flavor of Jelly!! Wildcrafted berry jelly, made with mulberry, wild
black caps and Saskatoon or Juneberry. All locally sourced and hand
picked. And all the regular flavors, too.

The Pasturage of Montague
How-dee peeps! Join us for our turkey tour!  We’ll get up close and personal with our table fare. It is on Sunday, September 22 from 3-5 pm at the farm. We’ll be walking out to the turkeys so be prepared for long grass and whatever the weather might be.  The turkeys will answer your burning existential questions, while I’ll answer anything practical, like what do they eat.  Then we’ll leave the pasture and I’ll give you tips and tricks for the perfect Thanksgiving turkey including when to defrost and how, a brine recipe, and roasting technique. I’ll carve a chicken as an example and you can try it and see if you like the brine effect.  RSVP requested; use this form: https://form.jotform.com/241926908495167
It’s never too early to think about my favorite pastime: overeating. You can pre-order your turkey or turkey parts online at http://thepasturage.com/order along with all our other fare. We will do our best to get orders to Sweetwater and you can always find us at our spots at Muskegon Farmers Market and Montague Farmers Market.
To giving thanks!
Julie

Wow, I think this is the sunniest February I can remember. Despite the warm weather, I am somehow shocked we are headed into March.  Also, great news! Our farm has been selected to participate in the Climate Smart Commodities Project. This is a minimum 5 year commitment that quantifies our planet saving efforts earning a Certified Regenerative by A Greener World distinction. We are super excited about this. What does this mean for you? You can rest assured that everything we produce is done so with climate health as top priority. In other news, we will have chicken available beginning June 8 as whole and cut up. Keep it in mind! Finally, we will resume our delivery schedule this Saturday. Check out all our options at www.thepasturage.com/order

Enjoy the sun!

FRIDAY UPDATE
Pine Row Farm is still accepting your preorders until 5pm Friday.
Vendors Attending Saturday February 10th:

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
I will bring the usual walk up items weekly since market will be every week. Preorders are still recommended for items you consider crucial. I sometimes sell out, and it’s easier than guessing what everyone wants to eat all week!
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. I will try to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.
100% grass fed beef:
Prices listed are per pound. Orders are filled in the order we receive them.
Ground beef $7.25
Ground round, vacuum sealed $8.25
Ground sirloin, vacuum sealed $12.00
Burger patties $8.25
Soup bones $2.25
Oxtail $6.25
Suet $1.25
Stew meat $8.25
Ground specials: save 25 cents a pound on 25 pounds or more, and 50 cents a pound on 50 pounds or more. Sale is available on ground beef, ground round, and ground sirloin while sufficient quantities are available. Preorder only.
We sell by halves and quarters. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the waiting list.
Poultry 
All of our poultry is free range, locked in nightly, and has certified organic feed. The August flock of 10 chickHens and 10 female ducklings have both begun to lay in the last week! Meanwhile, last week we were also down 12 dozen eggs from a couple of weeks ago. I’m assuming it was a delayed reaction from the cold snap and that they’ll soon be back to full production.
Chicken eggs are $6/dozen. Sold out 
Honey

1# raw $8
2# $12
Glass canning jars:
Pint raw $10

The Pasturage of Montague
Our maples were dripping in the sun the other day. I asked one of the other vendors at Muskegon if their sap was running. They’re significantly further inland, and he said no, and that he hoped it wouldn’t run yet for awhile. I’m reading a book called Sweetgrass written by a Potawatomi botanist. I love the reverence their culture has for the maple. I didn’t know this until I started reading old first hand captivity narratives, but pretty much every Indian tribe abhorred salt. They seem to all love sugar. Sometimes I think to myself: Oh, how easy it would be to peddle sugar! But I don’t. I peddle meat. But like maple syrup, our meat is full of nutrients you won’t find in the super-abundant alternative stocked (seemingly forever) on the grocery store shelf. Check us out at www.thepasturage.com/order for all the things fit to eat
Check it out! Tootaloo!  Julie
