Funny Farm of Grant
Hello, Sweetwater. Another autumn has fallen and the colors have
definitely changed. But my raised beds have been going well and there’s
some stuff to harvest for a few weeks, fingers crossed! There’s not a
lot as I had to replant and it hasn’t been 70f recently, so I will bring
what I find. Unfortunately I can’t offer preorders as I have a need to
share what I harvest. There should be another harvest next week and
maybe one more, depending on how much growth we get. I did find some
Swiss chard that looks really good and will bring what I have of that also.
Jim has been busy in the woodshop too. If you’ve started thinking
holiday season and gifts, he’s able to make cutting boards or other
things if you’re interested.
Shallots
Onions, yellow
Garlic
Fennel fronds
Low sugar jelly in many flavors, all from our farm. On sale this week 3
jars of your choice for $15
Blackberry, Elderberry/blackberry, Apple, Kiwi, Kiwi/crab apple, Wild
grape, Mixed Wildberry, Elderberry and
Blueberry from a source that I’ve used for 20+ years.
Thanks again!
Barb
The Pasturage
Hello happy hungry hellions! Please note, the Muskegon Farmers market is consolidating vendors for the month of November so we will be in stall #60 (where Tortoise& Hare are over the summer) instead of our usual stall #148.
We are overjoyed to tell you that all of our chicken and turkey is back in stock!! Use our online pre-order form https://thepasturage.com/order/ to see all that we have. Best of all, our whole turkey weights are listed on there so you can get exactly the size turkey you want for your holiday table. Our lamb will be back in stock this coming Saturday, Nov.9! It will probably not be listed on our online order from until Friday afternoon or evening, so keep checking back.
Take care,
Julie
