Funny Farm of Grant
Hello Sweetwater fans! I am ready to get at it, need to be busy. My spinach has gotten as big as it’s going to get thanks to the colder weather, so I’m going to harvest it and hope the next batch is bigger! It should be since the temps are going up, finally. I’m going to search out the ramps in the woods so I will have those too. Spinach and ramps are a good start to a good meal.
Spinach $5.00 bag
Ramps $5.00 bunch
Hope to see you there Saturday! Text me at 734-945-0720 and I’ll reserve some for you. Thanks, see you Saturday!

This will be the final week of the Indoor Market! Last chance to grab soup (Potato Leek this week) and our Grilled Sandwiches! All 5 sandwiches will be available to close out the indoor season.
We will have our usual selections of sourdough breads and pastries.
Please note: Beginning May 3, outdoors, we will be making several price changes in keeping with ingredient costs. We appreciate your understanding as we work hard to keep our baked goods affordable!
The Pasturage of Montague
Truly, spring has arrived: the peepers in our pond are deafening. I like the “natural silence” but for those not accustomed to their cacophony, it can be disturbing. We also have an astonishing number of pollywogs. Apparently, the former owners used to raise frogs and sell frog legs so we have whopper sizes bullfrogs that add to the chorus. Now, they feed our green and blue herons that frequent our shore. But we can change that. Let me know if you’d like us to sell frog legs!
Otherwise, stick to the lamb, pork, chicken and turkey found on our list at https://thepasturage.com/order.
