Please note: We are raising some of our prices. We will sell beef from April’s and July’s butchering at the old price, but beef from August will go up in price. Cattle are worth a lot now, and it is actually as profitable to sell them live as it is butchered. We need some incentive to keep the good grass fed beef going to people who will appreciate it. We have limited beef with us for you to buy at Market. Please try to get a preorder in to get exactly what you want.

The Pasturage of Montague
We will not be able to deliver to Sweetwater this weekend. My Mom and Gina will be covering the Muskegon farmers market for me, so we’ll still be around, but I didn’t want to add another layer for the kind people to handle. I am going to be with my Oceana County Conservation Stewards cohort at a field day. We are learning all about dune ecosystems. I’m pretty excited. I signed up for the program even though I felt like it was going to be a stretch to balance all the work of the farm, off-farm job, and now a 10 week course on top of that, but I love this stuff so I went for it. I’m learning a ton. The hardest part, I think, will be taking all I learned and figuring out what and how, it will impact my context: ie the farm. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, you may now pre-order a Thanksgiving turkey on our online pre-order form under the turkey tab (https://form.jotform.com/231266729632056). We are also hosting a turkey tour on the farm on Sunday Oct. 12 at 3pm. Join us! Sign up for the tour here: https://form.jotform.com/252606229991161
Tootaloo!
