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

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.

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 abhored 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

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
*Please note that due to my work schedule, I’ll be unable to provide totals at a reasonable hour for orders received after noon today. I will have them by Saturday morning. I apologize for the inconvenience.
While I’m no more partial to mud than Julie and her sheep, I will say I’ve appreciated my clothes not freezing solid, liquid water for livestock, and not thawing pipes and machinery by transferring heat from my bare hands this past week. Bees also require temps to warm up enough they can take cleansing flights, so I was grateful for their sakes as well. We’ll soon see what February holds!
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 run out of items, 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.

Is winter over? Dan heard a robin last week and got the binoculars just to be sure. Yes, indeed, it was.

Thank you to all that have utilized our online pre-order form (available at www.thepasturage.com/order). You can order anytime for pick up at the farm, Sweetwater, or the Muskegon Farmers market. It is current with our products, prices and other pertinent information like ingredients in sausage, where the cut comes from on the animal, and how it is often prepared.

Returning Soon
The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Hello Folks!
I am headed across the Big Lake to Madison Wisconsin this weekend for an organic grains conference. I am excited to learn more about small-scale organic grains and how to grow them for you!
While I will miss everyone at market this weekend, I plan to be back next weekend with some fresh microgreens! (and soon bagged greens!) We managed to plant out our newly built high tunnel with oodles of salad mix, spinach, and arugula – and we are eagerly awaiting its first harvest to share!
If you would like to support the farm prior to my return to market, CSA shares and market cards are live on the website, and the early season purchases are surely appreciated as we navigate this season’s expenses!
Vegetable CSA Shares, Bouquet CSA Shares, Combo Shares, and Market Cards can be purchased here: https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares
Cheers to good growing!

The Pasturage of Montague
One week of winter (ok, 10 days) and we’re headed back to mud. I’m sad about that. So are the sheep. They hate the mud; they never leave the barn. In very cold weather, they sit out in the yard, chew their cud and let the snow pile on their back.  By the time the next market comes around, who knows? It may be winter again. You can order anytime online via www.thepasturage.com/order for pick up at the farm, the Muskegon market or Sweetwater market.

Also: Reminder that Laughing Tree Bakery will be at the Muskegon Farmers Market every Saturday through the winter!

Additional vendors attending January 27^th & change to winter schedule.

I apologize in advance for the changing schedule for this winter. It’s partly the weather but also that we are trying to figure out what works for both the farmers and for you all.
Liberty Family Farm, Earthscape Farm have decided to come this week in addition to Pine Row Farm. Also Dirty Roots Healing. And The Pasturage.
We are going to dispense with the every two week schedule. The farmers will let me know Sunday night if they are going to attend the next Saturday and then you will get the Monday preorder list as usual.
If something changes and they can’t make it they will let me know Thursday night for the Friday Update newsletter.
So, to recap: Back to an every week market. The difference will be that this will be a PREORDER ONLY market. Even then, if any particular vendor has something extra to bring for walk up sales they will list that as well.
Thanks for your patience as we try to work this out. Please email with any questions to sweetwaterlocalfoods@gmail.com

The Pasturage of Montague
I am glad to be getting back to market!  We’ll be at Muskegon in our usual stall filled with goodies of the pork, lamb and turkey variety.  Feel free to order for Sweetwater pick up, too.  Avail yourself of The Pasturage pre-order form (www.thepasturage.com/order) to see all the options you have from “warm up the house with lamb shanks in the oven” to bacon for your mac and cheese (it’s winter, according to the forecast, and what better way to up the ante on the classic comfort food), to boneless, skinless turkey breast that makes a killer a la king.  Oh, how I love winter (I can find any excuse to eat).  Tootaloo!  Julie

Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope that your holidays were filled to the brim with fam, friends, fun… and of course some farm fresh food!
I will be absent from Sweetwater for a few weeks, waiting for a crop of mid-winter greens to arrive.
Our high tunnel is officially up and planted…. and depending on what mother nature throws our way, I suspect my first harvest to happen in early February – prepare yourselves for an abundance of salad greens and spinach!
In the meantime, if you would like to support the farm through the early season purchase of a CSA or Market Card, they are currently live on our website!    https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares 
As we crop plan and purchase seed for this upcoming season, those early season sales are extra appreciated!
Cheers to good growing and have a lovely week!
