The Pasturage
Hi folks! Winter, in our area, is decreasing by 9 days annually, Hurricane Helene demolished Asheville, wild fires are roaring in California, and tornado season is nearly all year round. This is climate change. The antidote is to sequester carbon. Our farm does this. Won’t you join us in being the change you want to see? Here are some ways to support us without spending a dime: spread the word about us to anyone and everyone you know, sign up for our newsletters, come to our free events, and tell us about resources, opportunities or other things you think it might be helpful for us to know. And, as always, check out what we have in stock via our pre-order form: www.thepasturage.com/order
Tootaloo!

The Pasturage
We will return to Muskegon Market on January 11.
We have bacon, pork chops, breakfast links… check out www.thepasturage.com/order for everything from jowl to hock, beak to claw, nose to hoof (read: pork, chicken, turkey and lamb). Our lamb is Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Grassfed by A Greener World. We are also enrolled in their Certified Regenerative program with certification slated for spring 2027. When you get your certification, it’s not like you’ve arrived and can set back and rest on your laurels. There is no static, stable state on our farm. We are always either improving soil or harming it. There is no middle ground. Being Certified Regenerative simply means we do everything we can to improve the soil and people come out and check on us to make sure we are doing what we say. The proof is in the soil; to the untrained eye, it all looks the same. Green is good, right? We want to assure you that what we do on our farm is sequestering carbon, reversing climate change, eliminating runoff and, oh yeah, tasty and good for you. Like I said, natural systems are complex and you are never “there.” But we are continually, conscientiously moving in that direction. Thanks for reading; I am so glad we are in this journey together.

The Pasturage of Montague
Hi Folks! Winter is truly here and I am truly happy about it. For us, snow means so many good things: it interrupts the parasite cycle for the animals, it’s not muddy, it gives the sheep and pigs something to investigate, it insulates the standing tall grass that we leave in the pasture creating a lovely home for field mice and other critters, it shows us the tracks of deer, coyotes, and birds that clearly know our land and traverse it regularly, and it’s easier to see them because they don’t blend in the background. Yesterday, Dan saw a bald eagle!
However, I don’t like driving in it. I took our pigs in to the slaughterhouse and I’m thankful there was a break in the weather. We should have pork back in stock in two weeks.
In the meantime, our current offerings are listed on our online pre-order form found at www.thepasturage.com/order where we also post prices and ingredients.
Happy Holidays!

Vendors at Sweetwater November 23rd:

The Pasturage
Hello folks! Yup, we still have turkeys. Order them here: www.thepasturage.com/order
What we don’t have, however, is lamb sausage. Our last slaughter date was scheduled for a week ago, Nov. 13. Unfortunately, they called and said they couldn’t fit them in. I scheduled this appointment in June… I don’t know, I guess they bit off more than they could chew? At any rate, this last round was for whole lamb orders and sausage. We have been moved to Dec. 23. So it will be the New Year by the time the lamb brats and breakfast links are back in stock. Keep up to date with our online pre-order form www.thepasturage.com/order where we list everything we have plus price and ingredients.
Take care,
Julie

Mannor Farm of Hesperia
We thank all our customers for their support during 2024.
We shall return to the farmers markets in the spring.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be taking a break before the new year. Then we will start the planning process for 2025.
We have already made a few changes for 2025.
One big change is that we have decided not to renew our Certified Naturally Grown affiliation. We will continue our operation without using chemical fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides in a natural environment as we have in the past.
We are looking at which farmers markets to attend next year and possibly offering purchases at the farm one day per week. We also are exploring the idea of homedeliveries for a nominal fee. We would love to hear your feedback on these issues.
We are looking at several other changes for 2025 and will be in touch as we get closer to making the decisions.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, Sweetwater. Another autumn has fallen and the colors have
definitely changed. But my raised beds have been going well and there’s
some stuff to harvest for a few weeks, fingers crossed! There’s not a
lot as I had to replant and it hasn’t been 70f recently, so I will bring
what I find. Unfortunately I can’t offer preorders as I have a need to
share what I harvest. There should be another harvest next week and
maybe one more, depending on how much growth we get. I did find some
Swiss chard that looks really good and will bring what I have of that also.
Jim has been busy in the woodshop too. If you’ve started thinking
holiday season and gifts, he’s able to make cutting boards or other
things if you’re interested.
Shallots
Onions, yellow
Garlic
Fennel fronds
Low sugar jelly in many flavors, all from our farm. On sale this week 3
jars of your choice for $15
Blackberry, Elderberry/blackberry, Apple, Kiwi, Kiwi/crab apple, Wild
grape, Mixed Wildberry, Elderberry and
Blueberry from a source that I’ve used for 20+ years.
Thanks again!
Barb

The Pasturage
Hello happy hungry hellions! Please note, the Muskegon Farmers market is consolidating vendors for the month of November so we will be in stall #60 (where Tortoise& Hare are over the summer) instead of our usual stall #148.
We are overjoyed to tell you that all of our chicken and turkey is back in stock!! Use our online pre-order form https://thepasturage.com/order/ to see all that we have. Best of all, our whole turkey weights are listed on there so you can get exactly the size turkey you want for your holiday table. Our lamb will be back in stock this coming Saturday, Nov.9! It will probably not be listed on our online order from until Friday afternoon or evening, so keep checking back.
Take care,
Julie

What a glorious fall! We’ve been grateful for the warmer weather as we finish our turkeys and chickens on pasture. We’ve had some ice on the waterers in the morning, but so far, no hoses have burst or connections leaked. A reminder: we will have turkeys for Thanksgiving! If you’d like a particular size, pre-order today! If it doesn’t really matter, then you can swing by the market stand anytime starting Nov. 2 and pick up a turkey for your feast. We’ll also have turkey cuts back in stock along with chicken, both whole and cut up. See our pre-order form for all the details! http://thepasturage.com/order

Hello, Sweetwater friends! I’m still waiting for the spinach to get big
enough to pick. The next planting is getting bigger and still popping
up. So maybe one more week and some will be big enough to pick. This
weather has been really nice for growth so let’s hope it lasts for a
while yet. if there is interest, I may do some baking. I make a tasty
scone and big muffins. If those sound good, please let me know. I’ll be
glad to make some for sale. Stay safe and Vote this week! Hope to see
you all soon!

The Pasturage
What a glorious fall! We’ve been grateful for the warmer weather as we finish our turkeys and chickens on pasture. We’ve had some ice on the waterers in the morning, but so far, no hoses have burst or connections leaked. A reminder: we will have turkeys for Thanksgiving! If you’d like a particular size, pre-order today! If it doesn’t really matter, then you can swing by the market stand anytime starting Nov. 2 and pick up a turkey fory our feast. We’ll also have turkey cuts back in stock along with chicken,both whole and cut up. See our pre-order form for all the details! http://thepasturage.com/order
Take care,
Julie
