The Pasturage of Montague
Thank you to all the intrepid souls that came up last Sunday despite the threat of rain and visited with our turkeys. I enjoyed myself, and I hope you did, too. Then we got a reasonable amount of rain on Tuesday, about 2″ that gently fell over the course of 24 hours. We are only about 20 miles north of North Muskegon where they got over ten inches, possibly into the feet, of rain!!!! I feel for all the folk dealing with lots of water, here and in Florida. I hope you all stayed dry and safe and remain so.
There are lots of reasons to look forward to November, one of which is that our lamb and poultry will be back in stock. Stay tuned via our online pre-order form at https://thepasturage.com/order where we keep everything up to date.
Tootles,
Julie
