The Pasturage of Montague
Wow. It’s August! You know what that means? I have poison ivy! It never fails. I cannot make it through a summer without, somehow, getting those tell tale little bumps. From experience I can say: don’t scratch. Just thought I’d pass on some wisdom from the farm in case you’re like me and ignored the first lesson, which was “leaves of three, let it be.” Don’t forget our turkey tour! There’s no poison ivy in our pasture, which is kind of unfortunate; the turkeys will eat it. RSVP requested; use this form: https://form.jotform.com/241926908495167
You can pre-order your turkey and anything else with our online form https://thepasturage.com/order/
We will do our best to get orders to Sweetwater and you can always find us at our spots at Muskegon Farmers Market and Montague Farmers Market.
Take care!

Other Places to Find Sweetwater Verified Goods
Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
You can continue to find our produce on the lakeshore at both the Grand Haven and Muskegon Health Hutt locations, with deliveries made Friday afternoon.
Our produce will also be available at two locations in Grand Rapids: the Fulton Street Farmers’ Market on Friday mornings and the Creston Farmers’ Market on alternating Saturday mornings.
Finally, if you are curious about Community Supported Agriculture, but not quite ready to commit to a full season, you can test it out first with our four-week trial shares. You’ll get the full CSA experience, but in a more manageable bite. Questions? Send us an e-mail at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com.
