Hello :-),
Last Tuesday afternoon I was working in Mears and heard the rather unmistakable call of Sandhill cranes, and then a pair flew over. It is early for their return. Along with the theme of spring bird migration, our poultry are laying more like it’s spring. I brought 7 dozen eggs back home with me on Saturday. 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.

The Pasturage of Montague
Wow, I think this is the sunniest February I can remember. Despite the warm weather, I am somehow shocked we are headed into March. Also, great news! Our farm has been selected to participate in the Climate Smart Commodities Project. This is a minimum 5 year commitment that quantifies our planet saving efforts earning a Certified Regenerative by A Greener World distinction. We are super excited about this. What does this mean for you? You can rest assured that everything we produce is done so with climate health as top priority. In other news, we will have chicken available beginning June 8 as whole and cut up. Keep it in mind! Finally, we will resume our delivery schedule this Saturday. Check out all our options at www.thepasturage.com/order
Enjoy the sun!

The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Hello Folks!
My market hiatus is quickly coming to an end! While I have enjoyed a short break from early Saturday mornings at the market table, our crop of mid winter greens are beginning to reach maturity!
I plan to return to market NEXT weekend with microgreens, and harvested seed, and fingers crossed for our first hoophouse harvest! I look forward to seeing you all next week! In the meantime, if you are hoping to support the farm through an early season sale, CSA shares are live on the website! P.S – our well is scheduled to be driven in mid April! A continued thanks to all who have helped get us to this point over these past couple of crazy seasons!
Cheers to Good Growing!
