New Vendor!
Fresco Mercato of Muskegon
Fresco Mercato began as a search for flavored pasta.
Disappointed by the lack of flavor in every brand I tried, I decided to try
my hand at it and was able to produce a pasta that held its flavor after
cooking.
Through the Muskegon Community College Entrepreneurial program, I
gained valuable insights necessary to build a business plan and I
launched Fresco Mercato in 2014. I originally was licensed and began
producing at The Starting Block in Hart, Michigan.
After Kitchen 242 opened at the Muskegon Farmers Market, I moved
production there in early 2016.
September 2017 I began renting my own facility in Muskegon Heights
where, in December 2017 I successfully began producing a Gluten Free
Garlic Parmesan option and beginning in January 2018 I added an All
Organic option with 3 flavors; Garlic Parmesan, Tomato Basil & Lemon
Pepper.
Shady Side Farm of Holland
*Accepts debit/credit cards.
This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans:
Bean Medley – A mixture of several of our beans, good for soup.
Black Garbanzo – Nutty flavor, firm texture. Good for salad, soup, hummus. (Almost gone.)
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Green Flageolet – Creamy, firm texture and a sweet mellow flavor. A quick-cooking bean. (Limited supply.)
Hidatsa Red – Similar to a kidney bean but with a slightly nutty taste, these beans are good in salads, chilis, soups or served with grains.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet, with a smooth, creamy texture.
Yellow Indian Women – These buttery beans retain their shape well, and are less starchy than some other beans. Good all purpose bean.
Zebra – Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean.
If you are interested in bulk orders of beans (5# or more of any one kind), please email me to inquire about prices and to place your order.

Corn Meal & Grits/Polenta
Our corn is Wapsie Valley, which is a yellow & red open pollinated corn that dates back to the 1850s. We have always grown hybrid corn, but recently started growing open pollinated corn. Last year we grew both on the same farm, under the same growing conditions, and ran a protein test on them. The hybrid came back with test results of 7.3% protein and the Wapsie Valley came back as 10.2% After harvest we carefully clean our corn, removing broken kernels and other seeds that have gotten mixed in. It’s then delivered to the DeZwaan Windmill in Holland, where it is stone ground and made into grits/polenta or corn meal. Since no preservatives are added, it’s best to keep our corn products refrigerated or frozen. For more info on hybrid & open pollinated see http://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/open-pollinated-heirloom-and-hybrid-seeds

Wool Products — If there is something you want (dryer balls, socks, mittens, yarn, roving), please send me an email to let me know. I can’t take everything, and it helps me to know what to take along…
