The Pasturage LLC of Montague
Hi all! We are expecting to pick up pork this week. We picked up lamb last week. I would like to wait until I have the products inventoried to send you all a list of items available. That might be as early as this Friday, or it might be the week after Thanksgiving when Sweetwater resumes. Regardless, my Mom will be there on the 20th a freezer full of our vast array of delightful pork and lamb offerings. However, if you miss that market and find yourself in dire need of good meat for your guests (and you’re tired of turkey) on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we will be at the Muskegon market.
Thank you all! I am so grateful for you and this gem of a market!
Happy Thanksgiving!
