Bloom Ferments of Grand Rapids
Bloom will be at the market with growlers of ginger and bottles of ginger and lavender hibiscus. Please remember to return your bottles and check with Jordan about upcoming classes!

Cultured Love of Grand Rapids
We’ll have our 5 kraut flavors for sale and sampling: All-organic ingredients, naturally fermented, and probiotic. Never cooked, raw and vegan, with no vinegar or starter culture, our Kraut is good on its own, or added to many other dishes, providing great flavor and nutrients.
· Carry Me Away – Traditional caraway kraut, as you find on a Reuben sandwich. This kraut is closest to what many grandmothers made in large crocks in their basement.
· Dillyicious – Our best-seller. Tastes like a pickle. Onion, garlic, dill, and turmeric. Our “gateway kraut” for those who say “I don’t like sauerkraut”.
· Purple Hot & Spicy – Onion, garlic and Cayenne. Hot for some, not so hot for others.
· Curryosity – We love India and Indian food. This kraut is a highly versatile addition to many dishes, or by itself.
· Root for Ginger – Our nod to Kim-chee, with similar ingredients — Carrot, radish, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Just a little heat.
We’ll also have “Good Food Good Mood” t-shirts and totes.
We will be at market with our fermented krauts.

We have adapted our CSA this year to allow you your choice of veggies for the week. We will add 10% to the amount you choose for the summer growing season.

We offer a mid-week delivery if you have busy Saturdays during the summer. Small extra charge, but may be worth it for the convenience.
As we have downsized the garden recently, we may have to limit our membership in order to maintain our quality.

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 have had some challenging things going on with extended family members and needed some extra time to be present to those situations and people.  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.  If you or someone you know is passionate about great food and is interested in participating in the production of our bread and pastries—have we got a job for you!  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!

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:

Wouldn’t you rather use products with ingredients you recognize like Vitamin E, organic coconut oil, organically grown herbs, 100% pure therapy grade essential oils, certified organic carrier oils, organic saponified oils, and organic Goats Milk instead of products with long ingredient lists of scientific names for carcinogens, pesticides, and hormone disruptors?

BREADBOXES! We are excited to announce that we are taking orders for beautiful, hand-made breadboxes being produced right in Grand Rapids.  The breadboxes have a built-in cutting board (it also doubles as the door) and are made of Michigan Hickory that’s been finished with food grade wood oil.  {The pieces of wood are actually all “cut-offs” from larger projects so the breadboxes are a great way to re-purpose this scrap wood.} There will be a display model breadbox at both markets so that you can see how beautiful these handmade treasures are!  Orders can be shipped anywhere in the country or can be delivered to either of the markets for a convenient pickup site.  The turn around time is 1-2 weeks.  The cost of the breadboxes is $128.  For an additional $7 you can have our logo laser-engraved on the front!  Ask us for an order form this weekend at the market!  {Hilde’s father Peter is actually the one selling the breadboxes —we are just supportive middlemen!)

The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
This cooler weather is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee, tea or Hot Chocolate! Any way you like it, we have you covered! Every week we have 4-6 varieties of freshly roasted coffee, and 5+ varieties of loose leaf tea. This week we are adding Hot Chocolate to the lineup! Come check out our new shipment of Chocolate! We restocked everyone’s favorites, and got a few new ones to try. Our new roaster is installed in the new facility, and we are working on the licensing, so be watching for some exciting new developments over the next few weeks!
Also new for us, we are adding some organic nuts and chocolate chips to our lineup. Hopefully they will be in time for this weekend, but we will for sure have them next weekend.

Check our facebook page for details on our coffee of the week.

We will also plan to bring our Guatemala FTO, Papua New Guinea FTO, Colombia FTO, and a Decaf.

As always, we sell our coffee by the ounce so you can get the perfect amount to use while it is the freshest. We also have gift certificates; the perfect gift for a coffee lover!
Come taste the fresh difference! Coffee is seasonal, so expect some variety. We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week.

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 bagged up and 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!

Wild Earth Chocolate of Muskegon

We like to Move it, move it!
Sometimes we don’t realize how wonderful it is to move, until we can’t move good anymore… My advice from personal experience… Don’t go there.
Get some Wild Earth Heart Chocolate,
put it on your tongue,
close your mouth and smile,
Dance with wild abandon, with or without music,
but without chewing,
till your chocolate melts in your mouth.
Thank your body, for the ride, then get on with enjoying your day.

Shady Side Farm of Holland
This is the last week I will be at market for nearly a month. Every year we sell our wool goods and beans at Holland’s Kerstmarkt, an open-air Christmas market that is held on Friday evenings and Saturdays. I will be back at Sweetwater on December 19th. Make sure you take inventory of your bean supply before you come on Saturday. If you’d like to buy larger quantities (5# bags), please email me with your order before Friday at 5 p.m.

I will have along to market our 16 varieties of certified organic dry beans, all grown by us on our farm south of Grand Haven. Did you know you can cook your beans in a crock pot or slow cooker? I just did some Painted Ladies this week, and they took about 3 hours to cook on high and they were last year’s beans! For best results, cook them when you are home so that you can check them every 30-60 minutes.

This is perfect soup weather. For white bean soups, I suggest either Hutterite Soup Beans or Marrow Beans. Marrow beans are plump, soft white beans. They may be Middle Eastern in origin. These beans soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with. Their texture is creamy, with a meaty flavor. They make a wonderful soup, of course, and can be used in baked beans, or just eaten plain with some seasonings.

I will also have Grassfield’s Farm cheese along this week. This is aged cow’s milk cheese from a local, organic dairy farm. Stop by and sample some!

Earthscape Farm of Hesperia

Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
With temperatures in the 60s this week, it surely hasn’t felt like November, but winter is coming. Here at the farm, I’ve been busy pulling out tomato stakes, mowing off and tilling under the finished crops, and planting cover crops to protect the soil over the winter and add fertility next year. The warm weather does take the edge off these end-of-season tasks, as well as help push along the final few crops of the season, so I am thankful for it.

This week I will likely bring:
kale
collard greens
bok choi
head lettuce
napa cabbage
mini cabbage
storage cabbage
cauliflower

Shady Side Farm of Holland
How is it the first week in November already? The weather this week is gorgeous, and we are busy putting the finishing touches on our growing season. We are starting to make arrangements to have some of the new open-pollinated Wapsie corn ground into meal and grits. Stay tuned for news on that project.

We will be at the market this Saturday with 16 varieties of certified organic dry beans, all grown by us on our farm south of Grand Haven. We encourage you to try some beans if you haven’t had some in a while. They are so delicious and nutritious and are not that hard to work with. Did you know that soaking beans is optional? With beans as fresh as ours are right now, you really can skip this step if you want to. Beans continue to dry out over time. So the older beans are, the more they need rehydrating. They also need a longer cooking time.

October beans are native to Columbia and are a member of the cranberry bean family. These beans have a creamy, velvety-smooth texture, and a slightly nutty flavor. Their thin skin darkens with age. Use in soups, salads and baked beans.

In addition to our beans, I will have raw, aged cheese from Grassfields Farm in Coopersville. Grassfields Farm is an organic dairy farm, and they make aged cheeses from their non-pasturized, non-homogenized organic cow’s milk. I will have several different varieties along Saturday, including something new–Aged Gouda. I will have samples of this new sharp gouda.

Don’t forget to sign up for freezer lamb if you are interested. Within the next couple of weeks we will wrap up the bulk of our lamb season. If you’re not sure if you’re on the list, email me at shadysidefarmmichigan@gmail.com

Hope to see you Saturday!

LOVE

Last year we donated over 1200 pounds of potatoes to local food banks, with over 500 pounds gifted from Sweetwater community members.  Like you, it is very important to us that all our community members have access to healthy and local food.  Help us do this again this season.  You can help feed your neighbors in need.  Food banks are usually desperate for fresh, local food.  Potatoes are a great resource for this.  They store well, are nutrient dense, and most people are comfortable preparing them.  We’ll provide half and you fund the other half.  Potatoes are normally $1.50/lb, when you buy potatoes for the food bank, you pay only 0.75.  The power of human generosity is amazing.  May all be fed.
