Earthscape & Pine Row have great cuts of beef available. Scholl has chickens. Laughing Tree has a few extra loaves of great crusty bread available for walk ups.

Microgreens:
A reminder that I have shifted my microgreen packaging from single use clamshells to reusable glass mason jars. Jars have a $1 deposit that will be returned with the return of the jar. Cheers to fresh, clean, local, and green!
All microgreens are $5 a jar + the $1 deposit
These weeks microgreen varieties include:
·       Pea Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro that has a sweet pea flavor – great to add to sandwiches, stir frys and salads
·       Sunflower Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro with a nutty flavor – I enjoy these on just about everything! I love topping them on eggs or a hearty soup!
·       Jazzy Mix – This is a colorful mix with a kick! A nice blend of mild greens with a kick of radish. These are a versatile micro that will give your meal some jazzy summer vibes on these chilly winter days!
·       Asian Blend – This is a zippy blend of tender asian microgreens mixed in with mustard micros. I enjoy these mixed into an orriental salad, or mixed into my morning eggs.
·       Woven’s Mellow Mix – A mix of mellow, yet hearty tender greens. These are great in smoothies, salads, or to top off your meal. I enjoy this mix when I am feeling the need for a little extra “green” on my plate
CSA –
CSA shares are filling up quick! If you are looking for an abundance of fresh veggies (and/or flowers) all season long, consider purchasing a share from the farm this season! This season, the farm is offering a few different options. I am offering a traditional 10 or 20 week CSA for veggies, a 5 or 10 week CSA for flowers, and a flexible CSA option, using market cards. Click the links below for more info! Payment plans are available!
The farm is relying heavily on early season CSA purchases this year, as I move the farm to a permanent location, and build up new infrastructure. This year’s CSA purchases will go toward necessary infrastructure including: running electricity to the property, building out a greenhouse, installing irrigation, building out a cooler + wash pack, as well as paying for necessary costs such as compost + seeds.
Many thanks for the support of the farm – is beyond appreciated and warms this little farmer’s heart!

Another bone broth use: savory porridge. This is perfect in the winter. A steaming bowl of porridge complete with spices like cumin, thyme, turmeric, and cayenne with carrots and collards in it and a fried egg on top is my definition of February heaven. My favorite grain to use for porridge is semolina. Its texture is perfect lending a truly creamy porridge. You can also use grits, polenta, oatmeal, kernza, bulgur wheat or even a box of good ol’ cream of wheat (aka farina). Just replace the water with broth. Experiment!

Vendors attending Saturday February 12th:

Woven Farm of Muskegon
Hello All!
Microgreens are back!
I am hoping to shift to some eco-friendly packaging in the New Year! Keeping the Earth clean and reducing single use plastics is a big goal on the farm.
To help support this goal, I will be shifting my microgreen packaging to pint sized canning jars with cheese cloth covering the lid, rather than the single use plastic clam shells. These jars will have a $1 deposit on them – the deposit will be returned when you return the jar. All jars will be regularly washed and sanitized before use. You are also welcome to bring your own container if you don’t wish to pay a deposit 🙂
All microgreens are $5 a jar + the $1 deposit
CONTACT for MICROGREEN PREORDERS:
wmwokewellness@gmail.com
These weeks microgreen varieties include:
·       Pea Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro that has a sweet pea flavor – great to add to sandwiches, stir frys and salads
·       Sunflower Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro with a nutty flavor – I enjoy these on just about everything! I love topping them on an omelette or a hearty soup!
·       Chinese watercress – This is one of my very favorite microgreens! – It has a peppery kick to it and is amazing in stir fry. I also enjoy topping these on my morning eggs!
Valentine’s Day Special!
If you are still in search of the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, consider gifting the gift of fresh flowers ALL SUMMER LONG! This year, I am offering a weekly and a biweekly flower CSA. I will be growing over 75 different varieties of florals and foliage, and cannot wait to share those vibrant colors and sweet summer smells with you!
Each week (or every other Week) from July 6th – September 7th, you will receive a large bouquet of in season flowers. These bouquets will include an array of vibrancy, texture, and beauty and are valued between $25-$50 depending on the week.
Included in this CSA share is also a group garden tour that will include a farm picnic as well as a floral workshop. It also includes my traditional CSA benefits of 10% off any farm swag + farm workshops throughout the 2022 season.
I am offering 15% off my Bouquet CSA this week only, in celebration of Valentines Day! – All purchases will receive a paper certificate decorated with dried florals.
Give the gift of fresh local florals all season long!
10 week share normally $200 —- discounted to $170
5 week share normally $100 —- Discounted to $85
** CSA pick up is on farm on Wednesdays from 4pm – 7pm or Saturdays at SweetWater Farmers Market from 10am – 11am

Here’s the trifecta of bone broth: sip, soup, stew. Beyond that, what else is there? Oh, the worlds that await you! You know how good greens are for you, right? Every time I cook greens, I throw in a few frozen cubes of bone broth. When you make your broth, pour a quart or so into an ice cube tray, or dixie cups, or muffin tins, whatever you have. Once frozen, let them sit on the counter for 10 minutes or so, then pop into a freezer baggie and voila! You have instant flavor, nutrition, and pan-protecting juice that steams the greens while not burning them or adding more oil. I know the dish is done when the broth has reduced to practically nothing and the greens are succulent and delicious!

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
This weekend! We will have bacon, pork steak, pork shoulder roast, pork butt roast, andouille, jalapeno brat, pork tongue and more pork chops. If you are interested in a half or whole pig, we are taking orders for a March 8 slaughter date.
There’s changes afoot in the pig realm at The Pasturage. To take place beginning in July, plans are to switch to a different heritage breed, change their ration profile to exclude soy while remaining certified organic, and use the pigs to renovate 2 acres of crappy grass then moving them into the woods for the heat of summer. We are trying several different breeds to find a good fit before we invest in breeding stock. Experiment! All that is to say: feedback welcome! We are doing this for you and we want you to tell us what you like! (Or don’t like)

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
Making stock with pork feet is not something you should put your foot in your mouth about. Shout it to the rooftops! It’s high in collagen, which according to https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/bone-broth yields “several important amino acids.” If you woke up this morning and thought, why do I ache… “connective tissue gives you glucosamine and chondroitin, natural compounds found in cartilage that are known to support joint health.” Feet, my friends, happen to be a whole bunch of moving parts (including the bones!) connected by tissue just to make you feel better. Or, you know, to allow my pigs to roam the pasture. Dual benefit!

GOOD NEWS!
Guess what! We picked up the sausage and other delectables! We now have chorizo, breakfast links, Italian, kielbasa and ground pork. Also, warm your soul, nourish your body, and build your immunity with bone broth. We have an exceptional assortment of cuts that complement one another nicely for whole body protection. These include pork shanks, pork hocks, pork feet, pork neck bones, pork ears, pork snout, lamb shanks, lamb osso bucco, and lamb soup bones. Each cut contributes different attributes, and the most nutritious bone broth is made of a combination. Ears and feet, for example, are rich in collagen while the neck bones have quite a bit of marrow and and meat leading to a vitamin rich brew. Check out https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/bone-broth for more information. And rest assured, no one will know you put feet in your stock pot, and then they won’t care when they feel so good because of them!

stuff in the ground. In the mean time, if there’s anything
gift/craft-wise that Jim or I make that you might be interested in
purchasing, please feel free to contact us by text. We have cutting
