At Sweetwater this Saturday:
Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, all you Sweetwater fans! It’s been a good week to grow and things are coming along really well. There is no complaint about the weather, at least here. Sprinkles is about it for rain but we can supplant that, fortunately. It seems Beets were the big hit last week so I will bring plenty more this week! The blackberries are slowly ripening and I hope to have a few pints this week. Next week there may be a few ripe cherry tomatoes, too. 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
734-9450720 and 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..
New potatoes, Nicola, new Harvest Moon Blue and Chieftain Red
Swiss Chard
Kale, curly and lacinato
Collards
Broccoli, small but tasty
Summer squash and zucchini, limited qtys
Beets, lots of them!
Small cauliflower heads, limited amount
Radishes
Garlic
New Flavor of Jelly!! Wildcrafted berry jelly, made with mulberry, wild
black caps and Saskatoon or Juneberry. All locally sourced and hand
picked. And all the regular flavors, too.

The Pasturage of Montague
How-dee peeps! Join us for our turkey tour! We’ll get up close and personal with our table fare. It is on Sunday, September 22 from 3-5 pm at the farm. We’ll be walking out to the turkeys so be prepared for long grass and whatever the weather might be. The turkeys will answer your burning existential questions, while I’ll answer anything practical, like what do they eat. Then we’ll leave the pasture and I’ll give you tips and tricks for the perfect Thanksgiving turkey including when to defrost and how, a brine recipe, and roasting technique. I’ll carve a chicken as an example and you can try it and see if you like the brine effect. RSVP requested; use this form: https://form.jotform.com/
It’s never too early to think about my favorite pastime: overeating. You can pre-order your turkey or turkey parts online at http://thepasturage.com/order along with all our other fare. We will do our best to get orders to Sweetwater and you can always find us at our spots at Muskegon Farmers Market and Montague Farmers Market.
To giving thanks!

Other Places to Find Sweetwater Verified Goods
Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
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
