Microgreens:
A reminder that I have shifted my microgreen packaging from single use clamshells to reusable glass mason jars. Jars have a $1 deposit that will be returned with the return of the jar. Cheers to fresh, clean, local, and green!
All microgreens are $5 a jar + the $1 deposit
These weeks microgreen varieties include:
· Pea Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro that has a sweet pea flavor – great to add to sandwiches, stir frys and salads
· Sunflower Shoots – A tender yet crunchy micro with a nutty flavor – I enjoy these on just about everything! I love topping them on eggs or a hearty soup!
· Jazzy Mix – This is a colorful mix with a kick! A nice blend of mild greens with a kick of radish. These are a versatile micro that will give your meal some jazzy summer vibes on these chilly winter days!
· Asian Blend – This is a zippy blend of tender asian microgreens mixed in with mustard micros. I enjoy these mixed into an orriental salad, or mixed into my morning eggs.
· Woven’s Mellow Mix – A mix of mellow, yet hearty tender greens. These are great in smoothies, salads, or to top off your meal. I enjoy this mix when I am feeling the need for a little extra “green” on my plate
CSA –
CSA shares are filling up quick! If you are looking for an abundance of fresh veggies (and/or flowers) all season long, consider purchasing a share from the farm this season! This season, the farm is offering a few different options. I am offering a traditional 10 or 20 week CSA for veggies, a 5 or 10 week CSA for flowers, and a flexible CSA option, using market cards. Click the links below for more info! Payment plans are available!
The farm is relying heavily on early season CSA purchases this year, as I move the farm to a permanent location, and build up new infrastructure. This year’s CSA purchases will go toward necessary infrastructure including: running electricity to the property, building out a greenhouse, installing irrigation, building out a cooler + wash pack, as well as paying for necessary costs such as compost + seeds.
Many thanks for the support of the farm – is beyond appreciated and warms this little farmer’s heart!

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
Another bone broth use: savory porridge. This is perfect in the winter. A steaming bowl of porridge complete with spices like cumin, thyme, turmeric, and cayenne with carrots and collards in it and a fried egg on top is my definition of February heaven. My favorite grain to use for porridge is semolina. Its texture is perfect lending a truly creamy porridge. You can also use grits, polenta, oatmeal, kernza, bulgur wheat or even a box of good ol’ cream of wheat (aka farina). Just replace the water with broth. Experiment!
