Friday Update for Walk Ins!
First, a couple of dates to remember: Sweetwater will be CLOSED the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 27^th, and also Christmas Day & New Years Day both fall on Saturday so we will be closed for those two days as well.

For those new to Sweetwater, this newsletter is a list of all vendors who will be attending the market on this date. Their products & prices and contact info are listed so that you can place a preorder with them. It also gives you a chance to start making your shopping list early in the week. On Friday we put out an updated version with items added to the list that will be available for walk up purchasing.

To remind everyone about what is unique about Sweetwater, here is a link to the Sweetwater Pledge to Our Customers. This Pledge is signed by all vendors, and we stand behind it. http://www.sweetwaterlocalfoodsmarket.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015-final-sweetwater-pledge-to-customers-update.pdf

As always, if your time on Saturday is precious we won’t waste any of it! Shopping for the best in fresh, local & organic foods for your family is as easy as contacting the vendors with your pre-orders and stopping by the market on Saturday from 10am to 11am to pick it up! Of course, if you like to linger we’ll have plenty of things to buy without a preorder, so come on by!

The Pasturage LLC of Montague
Before bacon returns next week, consider making it yourself with our pork belly. We have it fresh (meaning not smoked although it is frozen) and in stock. If you don’t have a smoker, ask for it for Christmas!! Or, vice versa, if you have a person who has everything, consider giving the gift of culinary creativity in the form of an eight pound slab of side pork, skin on, ready for anything your gourmand wants it to be. It’ll bring a smile to your soul.
