June!
Scholl Farm tells us the asparagus has good new growth coming on and will be ready for Saturday. Preorders appreciated!
This is the last week for preorders for plants from Blackbird Farm, so please get your plant orders in by Friday noon. Greg will also bring plants for walk up sales Saturday.
Between Earthscape Farm, Pine Row Farm, Liberty Family Farm and The Pasturage you can find just about any cut of lamb, pork, beef and chicken you’re looking for! All animals raised on lush pastures, in small flocks on small farms less than an hour from the market.
The best all around seasoning salt with a green “kick”: Wild Green Salt from Forest Finds!
And if you know someone who deserves a special dessert – try the Rhubarb Custard Pie from Liberty Farm Bakery!
Dark Water Coffee Roasters needs your orders before Wednesday 6pm.
Laughing Tree Bakery needs your orders by 6pm Tuesday (tomorrow night!).
We hope this Monday finds you rested and ready for the (shortened) week ahead. Please look for an additional email coming on Wednesday with an urgent request for help. We’ve learned of an emergency situation with one of our farms and hope you will give it some serious consideration.

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
We are so thrilled to have the sheep on grass! We move the flock four times per day to ensure the health of the pasture and the flock (it’s not hard because we have a pretty good system). In time, as summer progresses and as our pasture improves, we hope to reduce moving them to one or two times per day. We remain committed to 100% grass-fed because we believe it is the best thing for the lamb, the pasture and You!
We will be at Sweetwater this weekend, June 4, 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!

Seedlings are available for preorder! I am offering preorders on seedling plants this year! This will allow me to grow a bit more sustainably as it will prevent over seeding and wasting resources. (I will have limited seedling availability for walk up purchases though May and June)
However, if you would like to guarantee yourself seedlings consider preordering below!
All seedlings will be healthy and well rooted in a 3” pot, ready to transplant into your own garden!
All seedlings will be available to pick up on farm or at Sweetwater market from late May through June!
