The Pasturage of Montague
What a glorious fall! We’ve been grateful for the warmer weather as we finish our turkeys and chickens on pasture. We’ve had some ice on the waterers in the morning, but so far, no hoses have burst or connections leaked. A reminder: we will have turkeys for Thanksgiving! If you’d like a particular size, pre-order today! If it doesn’t really matter, then you can swing by the market stand anytime starting Nov. 2 and pick up a turkey for your feast. We’ll also have turkey cuts back in stock along with chicken, both whole and cut up. See our pre-order form for all the details! http://thepasturage.com/order
Take care,

Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, Sweetwater friends! I’m still waiting for the spinach to get big
enough to pick. The next planting is getting bigger and still popping
up. So maybe one more week and some will be big enough to pick. This
weather has been really nice for growth so let’s hope it lasts for a
while yet. if there is interest, I may do some baking. I make a tasty
scone and big muffins. If those sound good, please let me know. I’ll be
glad to make some for sale. Stay safe and Vote this week! Hope to see
you all soon!

2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash on market day pickup.
