Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
While I’m no more partial to mud than Julie and her sheep, I will say I’ve appreciated my clothes not freezing solid, liquid water for livestock, and not thawing pipes and machinery by transferring heat from my bare hands this past week. Bees also require temps to warm up enough they can take cleansing flights, so I was grateful for their sakes as well. We’ll soon see what February holds!
I will bring the usual walk up items weekly since market will be every week. Preorders are still recommended for items you consider crucial. I sometimes run out of items, and it’s easier than guessing what everyone wants to eat all week!
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. I will try to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.

The Pasturage of Montague
Is winter over? Dan heard a robin last week and got the binoculars just to be sure. Yes, indeed, it was. I’m wondering if winter will make a belated entry, say about the time lambs start dropping and trees start blooming. I would welcome a winter reprise before that time. Here’s hoping! Thank you to all that have utilized our online pre-order form (available at www.thepasturage.com/order). You can order anytime for pick up at the farm, Sweetwater, or the Muskegon Farmers market. It is current with our products, prices and other pertinent information like ingredients in sausage, where the cut comes from on the animal, and how it is often prepared. Check it out!Tootaloo! Julie

Returning Soon
The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Hello Folks!
I am headed across the Big Lake to Madison Wisconsin this weekend for an organic grains conference. I am excited to learn more about small-scale organic grains and how to grow them for you!
While I will miss everyone at market this weekend, I plan to be back next weekend with some fresh microgreens! (and soon bagged greens!) We managed to plant out our newly built high tunnel with oodles of salad mix, spinach, and arugula – and we are eagerly awaiting its first harvest to share!
If you would like to support the farm prior to my return to market, CSA shares and market cards are live on the website, and the early season purchases are surely appreciated as we navigate this season’s expenses!
Vegetable CSA Shares, Bouquet CSA Shares, Combo Shares, and Market Cards can be purchased here: https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares
Cheers to good growing!
