We rely on these early season sales to make the necessary purchases for a successful season! If you are looking for a way to support the farm this season, this is a lovely way todo so! You can learn more about our shares + sign up here: https://thewoventrifecta.com/shop/csa-shares)
If you would like to support the farm but need something a bit more flexible, we also have our market cards! You choose the amount you load onto the card and we load an extra20% to the total! Your market card can then be used throughout the season at any of our market booths/on farm! A friendly reminder that our market cards NEVER expire!
A big thanks for your support!

The Pasturage of Montague
We don’t really have spring on the farm. We have mud. Although watching rain fall on our pond is one of my favorite things, I know it leads to impassibility. Like anywhere on our farm. People are always surprised by this to which we reply “Claybanks township is aptly named.” Despite the brownie batter sucking our boots off with every step, the sheep are dropping more lambs and the rabbits are starting to kindle. So, I guess spring does appear on our farm after all!
Easter approaches. Keepus in mind. Options abound. Our list can be found here: https://thepasturage.com/order
You are always welcometo call, text (23 one 288 6 one one 2) or email (thepasturage@gmail.com)an order, too. And if you can’t access the list, I’m happy to assist you viatelephone or email. We are located at Muskegon Farmers Market, 9-2pm, indoorsfor four more weeks!
Take care,
Julie
