more summer squash and zucchini, dino and curly green kale, collards,
some basil, sweet and lemon (going to top off the plants for branching),

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
July! The mulberries are in full production and the black raspberries are just
starting, the scent of milkweed flowers fills the air, and the calves are
growing! I wish you all a safe and restful holiday.
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. If you miss the deadline or prefer
to shop in person, I do bring a selection of what’s available every Saturday.
I will try to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. I missed the
deadline due to a couple of factors this past week, including 13 hours of
mandatory overtime and a well that took a 27 hour break. I hope this
coming week is normal! If you don’t get a response from
me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row
Farm.

The Pasturage of Montague
As the drought continues, we are losing trees in our windbreak that I thought were fairly well established, our pollinator planting (that the conservation district was impressed with the survival of 4 species!) is wilting, and the locust trees are turning yellow. I have no wish to swing into a flood, but I’ll take whatever comes. What I love about Sweetwater is the camaraderie of the vendors. It is comforting to know others face similar struggles and to collaborate to help each other as we are able. I’d love to see the market thrive. Also, we have been unable, so far, to find help to cover Sweetwater come July when my Mom has surgery. I will miss going to Sweetwater myself, and it looks as if we will not be able to do anything other than offer pre-order options through Anita at Laughing Tree. (Did I mention the fabulous collaboration?) All that is to say: if you know of someone that would be able to work for us, please let me know. Plus, pray for rain!
Our very handy dandy pre-order form is here: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
You can always call or text me at 231 288 6112 or email thepasturage@gmail.com.
Tootaloo,
Julie

The Pasturage of Montague
We need a good soaker. If you have a secret jig to break open the skies, please dance now! After a grueling week of making hay and fixing equipment, we are ready for a rain recharge. The sheep weathered the heat in the hedgerow, and we wear hats and drink lots of water, but our poor red clover has nowhere to go. The grasses don’t show drought stress as noticeably as the wilting clover. It’s not dire, so far, and we have plans in place in case it does get drastic, but we sure would appreciate 1″ of rain over 10 hours every Wednesday night. See what you can do, would’ya?
Don’t be afraid to pre-order! The link is here: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
You can always email me at thepasturage@gmail.com or call/text at 231 288 6112.

The Pasturage of Montague
What a spectacular weekend!
RE: Braunschweiger. Technically, I guess we don’t have Braunschweiger. We have liver sausage because it is not smoked. It is cooked so you can eat it as is but it won’t have a smoky flavor. I do apologize to all of you that showed up for the sausage and I did not deliver! Please come back again! We have plenty at the farm. To place a preorder for that or any of our products:
Here is the updated, correct link: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
Also, people can always email me at thepasturage@gmail.com or call at 231 288 6112.
Note: We are hiring! Specifically, we are hiring sales people for Sweetwater. To apply, use this link: https://form.jotform.com/231295111349048

Thanks so much to all who purchased plants from us this spring! We hope your gardens are growing strongly. Since our stock of plants is now very low, and as we are waiting for the vegetables in the field to mature, we will be taking a hiatus from market for the time being. Watch for notice of our return in this newsletter. And if you’re interested in joining our CSA for this season, we have a few spots left and would love to welcome you as a member. More information is available here: blackbirdfarms.net/community-supported-agriculture/

Hello, everyone! Hopefully I’ll see you in a few weeks
with lettuce, spring mix and more. See you soon!
