The Pasturage
We will return to Muskegon Market on January 11.
We have bacon, pork chops, breakfast links… check out www.thepasturage.com/order for everything from jowl to hock, beak to claw, nose to hoof (read: pork, chicken, turkey and lamb). Our lamb is Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Grassfed by A Greener World. We are also enrolled in their Certified Regenerative program with certification slated for spring 2027. When you get your certification, it’s not like you’ve arrived and can set back and rest on your laurels. There is no static, stable state on our farm. We are always either improving soil or harming it. There is no middle ground. Being Certified Regenerative simply means we do everything we can to improve the soil and people come out and check on us to make sure we are doing what we say. The proof is in the soil; to the untrained eye, it all looks the same. Green is good, right? We want to assure you that what we do on our farm is sequestering carbon, reversing climate change, eliminating runoff and, oh yeah, tasty and good for you. Like I said, natural systems are complex and you are never “there.” But we are continually, conscientiously moving in that direction. Thanks for reading; I am so glad we are in this journey together.
