The Pasturage LLC of Montague
Happy Father’s Day! My Dad insisted on being my soccer coach as a kid, which was not always welcome on my end. Nowadays, I am so thankful he is willing and able to help, and a fan of what we’re doing in the farm. The farm would not be where it is without his assistance. Thank your dad! (Perhaps in grill-able form, check out the list here:)
We will be at Sweetwater this weekend, June 18, so feel free to pre-order from the linked list.  All of those items will also be available for walk up purchase. A reminder that if you’d like more than one of something, pre-ordering guarantees you’ll get what you want!

The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Sweetwater Community,
Sending you all the biggest, most gracious thank you for your continued support of the farm! Through your many kind words and donations our hope for water has been restored and we are well on our way to it!
I would have never imagined to have  received the immediate support that we have received from this community, and my gratitude is beyond what words could express. My little farmer heart is full of love!
I look forward to returning with an abundance of fresh veggies and greens in the weeks to come! (That truly wouldn’t be possible without the support that we have received)
Thank you again Sweetwater Community! I truly couldn’t imagine a better place or better people to share these lovely grown goods with!
Cheers to good growing!
