MARKET NEWS
Funny Farm has tomatoes this week! The Woven Farm is doing two markets so will need your preorders soon to arrange delivery! Mannor Farm is back with meat & veggies. Earthscape is returning on the 24th!
At Sweetwater this Saturday:
Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, everyone. Hope the week was good to you. So far, so good here. Things are growing and some have come to an end. Summer squash and zucchini has had its run. Not sure when the cucumbers will get big enough to be anything. They had a groundhog attack that took the growth ends and they are struggling to make more blossoms. But other things are doing well.
If I find something that I forgot, I’ll bring that too! Here’s what I will be bringing this week. If there’s anything you’d like, please text me at 734-945 0720 and I will reserve it for you. Orders are taken in order received. Some stuff is limited so pre-order is the way to go. Thank you for your support this year and always.

The Pasturage of Montague
Now begins the shifting of summer into fall. Let’s not put the cart before the horse, though! Time passes swiftly enough without our anticipation. We have grill-ables galore like lamburgers, sheepdogs, pork chorizo and Italian links, and smokable sensations like lamb shanks, pork butt roast and hocks. Don’t hibernate yet!
All our goods are available for pre-order online at http://ThePasturage.com/order/ where you’ll see all that we have in stock.
Tootles!

2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash on market day pickup.
