Hello Folks!

My market hiatus is quickly coming to an end! While I have enjoyed a short break from early Saturday mornings at the market table, our crop of mid winter greens are beginning to reach maturity!

In the meantime, if you are hoping to support the farm through an early season sale, CSA shares are live on the website! P.S – our well is scheduled to be driven in mid April!

Hi all, we will not be able to deliver to Sweetwater for the next two weeks. We will resume delivery on 2/24. In the meantime, we will be inside at our usual stall at the Muskegon market. It looks like our winter reprise may be on its way. Personally, I am looking forward to it because my first cross country ski attempt in January ended in a tangle of skis and poles and mud. Even though we had snow, the ground never froze and I skiied right into a gully I didn’t even know was there! Check us out at www.thepasturage.com/order for all the things fit to eat

The Pasturage of Montague
Hi all, we will not be able to deliver to Sweetwater for the next two weeks. We will resume delivery on 2/24. In the meantime, we will be inside at our usual stall at the Muskegon market. It looks like our winter reprise may be on its way. Personally, I am looking forward to it because my first cross country ski attempt in January ended in a tangle of skis and poles and mud. Even though we had snow, the ground never froze and I skiied right into a gully I didn’t even know was there! Check us out at www.thepasturage.com/order for all the things fit to eat
Check it out! Tootaloo!  Julie

The Pasturage of Montague
Our maples were dripping in the sun the other day. I asked one of the other vendors at Muskegon if their sap was running. They’re significantly further inland, and he said no, and that he hoped it wouldn’t run yet for awhile. I’m reading a book called Sweetgrass written by a Potawatomi botanist. I love the reverence their culture has for the maple. I didn’t know this until I started reading old first hand captivity narratives, but pretty much every Indian tribe abhorred salt. They seem to all love sugar. Sometimes I think to myself: Oh, how easy it would be to peddle sugar! But I don’t. I peddle meat. But like maple syrup, our meat is full of nutrients you won’t find in the super-abundant alternative stocked (seemingly forever) on the grocery store shelf.

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
*Please note that due to my work schedule, I’ll be unable to provide totals at a reasonable hour for orders received after noon today. I will have them by Saturday morning. I apologize for the inconvenience.
While I’m no more partial to mud than Julie and her sheep, I will say I’ve appreciated my clothes not freezing solid, liquid water for livestock, and not thawing pipes and machinery by transferring heat from my bare hands this past week. Bees also require temps to warm up enough they can take cleansing flights, so I was grateful for their sakes as well. We’ll soon see what February holds!
I will bring the usual walk up items weekly since market will be every week. Preorders are still recommended for items you consider crucial. I sometimes run out of items, and it’s easier than guessing what everyone wants to eat all week!
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. I will try to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.

The Pasturage of Montague
Is winter over? Dan heard a robin last week and got the binoculars just to be sure. Yes, indeed, it was. I’m wondering if winter will make a belated entry, say about the time lambs start dropping and trees start blooming. I would welcome a winter reprise before that time. Here’s hoping! Thank you to all that have utilized our online pre-order form (available at www.thepasturage.com/order). You can order anytime for pick up at the farm, Sweetwater, or the Muskegon Farmers market. It is current with our products, prices and other pertinent information like ingredients in sausage, where the cut comes from on the animal, and how it is often prepared. Check it out!Tootaloo!  Julie

Returning Soon
The Woven Farm of Whitehall
Hello Folks!
I am headed across the Big Lake to Madison Wisconsin this weekend for an organic grains conference. I am excited to learn more about small-scale organic grains and how to grow them for you!
While I will miss everyone at market this weekend, I plan to be back next weekend with some fresh microgreens! (and soon bagged greens!) We managed to plant out our newly built high tunnel with oodles of salad mix, spinach, and arugula – and we are eagerly awaiting its first harvest to share!
If you would like to support the farm prior to my return to market, CSA shares and market cards are live on the website, and the early season purchases are surely appreciated as we navigate this season’s expenses!
Vegetable CSA Shares, Bouquet CSA Shares, Combo Shares, and Market Cards can be purchased here: https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares
Cheers to good growing!
