2016 WINTER SCHEDULE
OPEN EVERY SATURDAY all winter!
Shady Side Farm of Holland
I will be at the market this Saturday with beans and wool roving and felting kits. We are between batches of corn, so no cornmeal or grits right now. If you need larger amounts (5# or more) of beans, please let us know ahead of time by emailing info@shadysidefarm.com. See you Saturday! –Lona
The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
Winter is here! Time to curl up by the fire with a hot cup of coffee!
Stop by for a cup of the freshest coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, to sip on as you shop! We roast our coffee fresh every week so you can get it at the peak of its flavor! We also have a huge variety of chocolate bars and barks, and several varieties of loose-leaf tea.
Great news! We are now licensed in The Starting Block in Hart, and using our new roaster! Our coffee is now air-roasted for an even better flavor and a slightly more even roast! We will be offering each coffee in 12 oz and 6 oz bags with one-way valves which allow the coffee to remain fresh longer.
Varieties:
Colombia FTO Med-Dark
Guatemala FTO Med
Papua New Guinea Med
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Light
“The Roar” Med-Dark House blend
Decaf Peru Med-Dark
Our list of Teas and Chocolates has gotten too long to include here, so check out our Facebook page for the full list of what we have available.
Email us to order in advance, and we will have it ready for you. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get there, and speed up your shopping if you are in a hurry!

Bloom will be at the market this week with bottles of ginger and lavender hibiscus. Please remember to bring back your empty bottles!

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Our apologies to anyone who came looking for us last weekend—only to find us absent! We did try our best to communicate that we were taking an extra week off—but we knew there would be some whom the message did not reach. So we apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

We appreciate your understanding and we are looking forward to baking for you this week!
WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE: We are looking to hire a hard-working, self-motivated individual to assist in the bakery.

The position available is for 24—30 hours a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays—Saturdays are flexible). Training would begin mid-February. Starting pay is $10/hour (plus a loaf of bread and 2 pastries each week). Please email us for a job application. We look forward to hearing from you!

Wild Earth Chocolates of Muskegon
We have a few new flavors we will be playing with through the new year using essential oils infused into thin textured creamy maple sugar sweetened chocolate. Be sure and come by and sample some.
Orange with a hint of clove has a deep orange note with a nice warm kick of clove and a soft lingering chocolate finish. Anise offers a sweet licorice pop with subtle hints of fennel and tarragon, swirling in velvety chocolate throughout. Peppermint, strong, cool, hot and always a favorite with deep dark chocolate, especially at this time of year.
I have also added peppermint flavored Heart Chocolate, so now we have plain or peppermint in the new sweeter 75% dark chocolate sweetened with D-ribose, for a big boost of calm energy right to your cells. D-ribose is a sweet supplement that is used for heart, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia patients to help them regain their cellular energy, so they can begin to move again. We will be offering:
Heart Chocolate Peppermint
