The Pasturage of Montague
We have some new pork sausages in stock, including andouille, bulk chorizo, polish links, and brat patties, among others. These recipe are new-to-us; we don’t usually use this slaughterhouse for pigs. So let us know what you think.
We are done for this season at the Montague Farmers market. Thank you all for coming out to that lovely local market to support us. The market will continue through the end of October, albeit without our attendance.
A reminder: we will not be able to deliver to Sweetwater on September 27, October 11 and October 18.
Our online pre-order form has all the new and delicious goods: https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
Thank you so much!

How the online pre-order form works:
It lists everything we have in stock, the price, the average price per package, and for sausages and cured meats it also lists the ingredients. Then it asks you how you’d like to pay and gives you options where you can pick up the products you ordered. Once I receive the form, I collect the products and then send you a total. When you pick up is when you pay. You can always call my cell at 23one 288 6 one one 2 to place an order if that is easier for you.
Tootaloo!
