At Sweetwater this Saturday:
Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, Sweetwater friends! Things are still growing well and there are a few new things this week. The kohlrabis are big enough to pick, cabbages are small but look great. The carrots are small but tasty this year. Tomatoes are starting to ripen, cherry ones first. Berries are still ripening and should be plenty for all. I think summer squash is not long for the market. The storms down south brought up some funky stuff. But scallions are big enough to pull also. I urge you to preorder so I’m sure I have enough for everyone.
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 0720and 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
Rabbit is available for pre-order for delivery this Saturday. They will be delivered fresh although they’ll be vacuum sealed in case you’d like to freeze it. They will be whole carcass with heart, liver and kidneys. They are 100% grass fed; rotated on pasture. They are $12/# and they will likely be over 4#. Use our online pre-order form (http://thepasturage.com/order/) to request your rabbit. We don’t have that many, so requests will be filled in the order received.
Stay cool!

You can continue to find our produce on the lakeshore at both the Grand Haven and Muskegon Health Hutt locations, with deliveries made Friday afternoon.
Our produce will also be available at two locations in Grand Rapids: the Fulton Street Farmers’ Market on Friday mornings and the Creston Farmers’ Market on alternating Saturday mornings.
Finally, if you are curious about Community Supported Agriculture, but not quite ready to commit to a full season, you can test it out first with our four-week trial shares. You’ll get the full CSA experience, but in a more manageable bite. Questions? Send us an e-mail at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR How to Pre-Order
1. Look over the list. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order by email to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
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.
