You all know what this market represents, and in order for us to continue we need your continued support.
In spite of the inflated prices for fuel and groceries at the major stores our farmers have kept their prices down, keeping you in mind. We hope you will reward their hard work with orders – today!

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
We are sold out of the pork whole shoulder roast but we have several half shoulder roasts available and I figure y’all are smart folk and can put two and two together!  Also, don’t forget that the butt roast is also from the shoulder and is typically used for pulled pork.  We have several whole butt roasts left.  We also have bone-in loin roasts, which have been called the “prime rib of pork” by chefs.  Keep that in mind as Easter approaches.  Finally, don’t forget the fresh ham.  Watching what you eat?  This is the perfect answer.  It’s pure pork without the pesky preservatives (no salt, no nitrates, all flavor).

Stinging nettle has been used for centuries as a food and fiber source. Did you know that stinging nettle can be a good source of iron and calcium? It is a nutritional powerhouse! A study showed three times more protein than wheat or barley and less than half the carbohydrates.

One final word about bone broth and my encouragement to use all sorts of cuts from all sorts of animals, provided they are nutritiously fed and well cared for. Feet. Yeah, I’m back to that. I just want you to know how precious feet are. It’s difficult to find them, of any species. I can only sell trotters, or pigs feet. In order to sell the feet, the pig must have been scalded, not skinned. There are very few slaughterhouses that scald anymore. My friends, you have a resource available to you not found readily anywhere else. Make use of it!
