The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Happy Monday!
September is cruising right on by and the field is showing signs of slowing down ( for summer crops anyway!)
In the hustle and bustle of the season, I forgot to mention to folks that I’ve picked up a full time job in hopes of getting a deep well dripped on the farm sooner, rather than later. It’s been a balancing act keeping the farm thriving while simultaneously stepping away from the majority of the day, but we are making it happen!
With that said, I’ll be sticking with walk up sales for the next several weeks to make market harvest a bit easier!
I’ve been working hard to flip many summer crops into fall roots and greens in hopes that there will be veggies well into the snowy season – this weekend while in the field I found a handful of wooly bear caterpillars that featured lots of brown, leading to signs that there will be a mild winter (and an extended season ahead!)
Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday!
Cheers to good growing!

Crow’s Nest Garlic of Muskegon
Crow’s Nest Garlic is back again!
We will have 3 varieties for walk up only sale this year
MUSIC is our all-purpose porcelain variety with 4-5 very large cloves per head. Especially good for roasting or processing.
SIBERIAN garlic has the highest allicin content of any garlic – this is the compound that makes garlic SO delicious and good for you!
CARPATHIAN garlic is my personal favorite… beautiful purple streaked clove wrappers peel very easily and the flavor is incredible.
Thanks again for your support!

The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Happy September All!
The season is cruising on by! I am eager to continue to welcome some sweet summer favorites from the field, as well as to begin to welcome in some fall favorites as well. While I never want to wish this sunshine away, I have my fingers crossed for a bit of rain to move some more crops along to the market table. The field has really slowed down with all of this heat and little rain. I am crossing my fingers that the upcoming fall forecasts will promote production in the field!
This week I will be at market with an assortment of veggies for walk up sale.
Looking forward to sharing in the harvest this week!

Hello! We will not be at Sweetwater this weekend. We will be at Muskegon in our usual place, stall 148. We will return to Sweetwater on 9/25.
With the onset of more fall-like weather, I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving. It’s never too early to reserve a turkey; we’ve started a list because so many people have been asking. Ballpark estimate is $110-$160 per bird, and they’ll weigh between 12-18 lbs (she said confidently).
Have a great week!

Crow’s Nest Garlic of Muskegon
Crow’s Nest Garlic is back again!
We will have 3 varieties for walk up only sale this year
MUSIC is our all-purpose porcelain variety with 4-5 very large cloves per head. Especially good for roasting or processing.
SIBERIAN garlic has the highest allicin content of any garlic – this is the compound that makes garlic SO delicious and good for you!
CARPATHIAN garlic is my personal favorite… beautiful purple streaked clove wrappers peel very easily and the flavor is incredible.
Thanks again for your support!

Happy September All!
The season is cruising on by! I am eager to continue to welcome some sweet summer favorites from the field, as well as to begin to welcome in some fall favorites as well. While I never want to wish this sunshine away, I have my fingers crossed for a bit of rain to move some more crops along to the market table. The field has really slowed down with all of this heat and little rain. I am crossing my fingers that the upcoming fall forecasts will promote production in the field!
This week I will be at market with an assortment of veggies for walk up sale.
Looking forward to sharing in the harvest this week!

The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Happy September All!
The season is cruising on by! I am eager to continue to welcome some sweet summer favorites from the field, as well as to begin to welcome in some fall favorites as well. While I never want to wish this sunshine away, I have my fingers crossed for a bit of rain to move some more crops along to the market table. The field has really slowed down with all of this heat and little rain. I am crossing my fingers that the upcoming fall forecasts will promote production in the field!
This week I will be at market with an assortment of veggies for walk up sale.
Looking forward to sharing in the harvest this week!

Crow’s Nest Garlic of Muskegon
Crow’s Nest Garlic is back again!
We will have 3 varieties for walk up only sale this year 🙂
MUSIC is our all-purpose porcelain variety with 4-5 very large cloves per head. Especially good for roasting or processing.
SIBERIAN garlic has the highest allicin content of any garlic – this is the compound that makes garlic SO delicious and good for you!
CARPATHIAN garlic is my personal favorite… beautiful purple streaked clove wrappers peel very easily and the flavor is incredible.
Thanks again for your support!

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
We received a call from the post office before 8am on Wednesday morning. Our “quackage” had arrived. The lady at the post office was giving the ducklings water from a cup while she waited for us to get there! They all arrived safe and sound, and THIRSTY. While they were drinking plenty of water, it took them another day to add food to their diet. Ducklings always seem to be perpetually happy, and are fun to watch as they grab a bite of food, wash it down with water, and repeat. They also waddle over to inspect the waterer every time it’s refilled.
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. 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
Life composed: what would that look like? Certainly not autumn. This begins our busiest time of year which won’t let up until after Thanksgiving.  The days are shorter which yields less regrowth of the pasture. Plus those cute little lambies are now big teenagers with an appetite to match. The turkeys are not solely dependent on forage but they sure act like they are. Don’t even get me started on the pigs: they’re omnivorous almost to a fault. But what can I say? I love everything about my sheep and turkeys. The pigs… well… let’s just say they sure taste great.
As always, our pre-order form is the best way to see what we have and get what you want! Find it here: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056 or you can always call/text 231 288 6112 or email thepasturage@gmail.com
