I will only be at market for 2 more weeks (November 8 and 15), and then will be off for 4 weeks. Please stock up now on beans and cheese. Cheese keeps well in the fridge if unopened. This week I’ll be at market with our certified organic beans in the following varieties:
Black Calypso (fresh, limited quantities) – Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips. Also known as Orca beans–they look like killer whales (only smaller, and more friendly).
Black Turtle (fresh) – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Black Valentine (fresh) – Black beans are back! Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
Hidatsa Red (fresh) – Slight nutty taste, use in chili or red beans and rice.
Hutterite Soup (fresh) – Comfort food, cook fast, creamy soup, baby food.
Jacob’s Cattle (fresh) – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili.
Jacob’s Cattle Gold (fresh) – Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
Marrow (fresh) – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with.
October (last year’s, almost gone) – Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili. Because these are last year’s beans, they are discounted to $5 per pound.
Pinto (fresh) – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Yellow Indian Woman (fresh, VERY limited quantities) – Rich, creamy interior–similar to eating a good triple cream cheese, but without the fat or calories. Keeps their shape well. If you want Yellow Indian Woman beans, you’re going to have to get them this fall. Because of the very limited quantities, we will not be selling these beans in bulk.
Zebra (fresh) – Also known as Amethyst. Creamy texture with a full-bodied flavor.
In addition, we’ll have Grassfield Farms raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors:
Aged Cheddar (NEW!) – 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.
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.
I will have a limited assortment of hand-dyed wool yarn (from our own sheep!) for your Christmas knitting or crocheting projects.
