HAPPY SPRING!

Hi, I am Erin Mund. I am finishing my teacher training to become a certified yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance and would love to share my knowledge that I have acquired through Peacelab Yoga Studio in Grandville, Michigan with the Sweetwater market customers and vendors if they are able to sneak away for an hour this Saturday. My family has been selling at the market for several years now and the community that has been created is really something to admire. I could not imagine a better place to complete my “community” hours for teacher training. The one hour class will be donation based. If anyone is interested in donating to the foundation of Rocco’s Heart https://www.facebook.com/roccosheart/timeline I will have information about the foundation available at the market, but here is the Facebook link. Please bring your own mats and any yoga props that you may need or use in your own practice (blanket, blocks or a strap). Everyone is welcomed to join and I look forward to being part of this wonderful community again. See you Saturday for yoga at the market 11am-12pm.

Are you excited for spring? We sure are! We are enjoying getting to know all of you and sharing our love of fresh coffee. We will not be at the market on Saturday, April 4, so be sure to stock up this Saturday! If you want to be sure to get your favorite kind please contact us ahead of time and I will have it bagged up and ready for you.
In the roaster this week:
· Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes. Very good with dessert.
· Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
· Mexico Terruño Nayarita Organic – a bright, rich cup with caramel notes and a sweet finish. This is another great cup from a group of small farmers in Mexico. It is claimed to be the best coffee in Mexico, and the farmers get a high price for the quality.
· Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.
Come taste the fresh difference! Brewed samples will be available for all coffees! Full brewed cups available for donation.
We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week. Pre-orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get some!

Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week I’ll be at market with our certified organic beans, all harvested last fall, in the following varieties:
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Black Valentine – Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
Hidatsa Red – (Almost gone–get them now!) Slight nutty taste, use in chili or red beans and rice.
Hutterite Soup – Comfort food, cook fast, creamy soup, baby food.
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili.
Jacob’s Cattle Gold – Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
October – (Almost gone–get them now!) Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet bean, smooth, creamy texture, good in everything.
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Please let me know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that I can pre-bag those and bring them along.
I will have our organic non-GMO corn (for making masa) along in 2# bags. Last week for the special introductory price of $2.50. We have found that cleaning and bagging takes a little more time than we expected, and so we find it necessary to have a small price increase. If you want corn in larger amounts than just 2#, please email me.
In addition, I’ll have Grassfield Farms raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors:
Aged Cheddar – You asked, and we listened! A sharp cheddar, aged a year. Award-winning!
Chili – Gouda with Red Chili flakes, this mild and creamy cheese has delightful spice without being too hot.
Country Dill – A house favorite, the dill herb in Gouda well represents the fresh grass that dominates the cows’ diet.
Crofters (NEW!) – This delicious cheese is aged 1 year with a medium sharp taste. The texture is dry and crumbly. Very similar to Parmesan.
Edam – A variety of Gouda made with skim milk: Elastic, yet firm, this flawless low fat cheese is our best melter, improving any dish.
Garlic & Onion – The most aromatic of herbs. Don’t be the only one in the room to eat this spiced Gouda or you soon will be.
Gouda – A traditional handmade cheese in keeping with West Michigan’s (and our family’s) Dutch culture.
Lamont Cheddar – A rare, natural rind English cheese, named for the Grand River’s first settlement near our farm.
Leyden – Originally from the Rhine Valley, now the Grand River Valley; cumin perfectly compliments this aged Dutch cheese.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? I’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.
If there is anything woolly that you are interested in, it doesn’t hurt to shoot me an email. I can’t take everything along every week, so let me know what you’d like me to focus on. Hope to see you Saturday!

Our fresh Chevre available in your favorite flavorings: Blueberry Vanilla (great on a morning bagel!) Hickory-smoked bacon Bits, Garlic, Italian Herb, & Hot Pepper
Feta
A smooth and creamy feta which is low in salt and rich in fresh goat milk flavor. The brining process gives feta cheese a salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly consistency. Feta cheese can be served as a table cheese, used in baking savory dishes, or served as an appetizer or in salads. The classic Greek salad is made with Feta cheese. In crumbles or cubes for easy slicing.
Dutch Kase
A Meadow View Dairy original! If you are looking for a nicely aged but milder version of our Tomme, this is the cheese for you. Vacuum sealed without mold and aged at least 60 days.
