The Pasturage of Montague
It’s been quite the turn in weather. We were only ten degrees above freezing this morning, which feels awful close to frost. I admit I enjoy the cooler weather, but I’m not ready for frost!
We will be able to deliver to Sweetwater about 10:30 ish for the next few weeks. Please note we will not be able to deliver on September 27, October 11 or October 18. Stay tuned to our online pre-order form because we will be getting new products in shortly.
https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056
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!

We will be opening up the flower patch to the public for bouquet nights on Mondays and Wednesdays (6:00 pm to dusk) running through the beginning of October. As always, you are welcome to harvest what you like and pay what you wish.
We are also booking private bouquet gatherings—perfect for birthday parties, bridal showers, church groups, and more!—on the weekends. Reach out to Shel at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com if you’re interested in learning more.

We plan to have all kinds of tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers, summer squash, zucchini, scallions, shallots, and more (including, maybe, watermelons), plus you-pick green and purple beans and cherry tomatoes, as well as build-your-own bouquets in the cut flower gardens. Hope you can join us!
