Shady Side Farm of Holland

This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans in the following varieties:
Black Calypso – Plump, with creamy texture. Slightly nutty, mellow taste, something like a russet potato.
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.
Green Flageolet – Creamy, firm texture and a sweet mellow flavor. A quick-cooking bean, they become increasingly creamy the longer you cook them.
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.
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili.
Marrow – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with. Great soup beans.
Medley – A random assortment of our beans that is great for soup. Also beautiful!
October – Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet, with a smooth, creamy texture.
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking. Also have a limited supply of split pintos for $1/pound.
Tiger Eye – Rich, hearty flavor, with a smooth texture and tender skins.
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.
We will also have freshly ground corn meal and fine grits/polenta from our Wapsie Valley certified organic, non-GMO corn. We will also take a small variety of wool products along from our farm’s sheep.
