On Harvey St. at US31/Pontaluna Rd. Exit. 1st Bldg North of Pontaluna Rd.
We are an authorized Bridge Card Farmers Market
At this week’s market:
Earthscape Farm of Hesperia
VEGGIES ~ Beautiful heads of Cauliflower! Gorgeous Broccoli in quantities to freeze or to serve at your local foods restaurant! Winter Squash, many varieties! Green Peppers, Carrots, Beets; Potatoes; Tomatillos, Garlic, Celery, Hot peppers, Kohlrabi. Herbs: Parsley, Dill, Cilantro, and Rosemary.
BEEF ~ BEEF SALE: Almost all cuts of beef will be available. Our steers are on lush rotational pastures from May to November. They get all our quality hay they can eat, plus a little home-grown and ground- on-the-farm grain mostly in winter. Feeding cows small amounts of good grains are like humans eating small portions of dessert. It’s ok for them as long as grass and legumes are their main diet. The steers are hung to age and processed by Ebel’s Meats in Falmouth, a family-run USDA operation.
Quarters of BEEF for sale. This is the most economical way to purchase beef. Talk to me or email for more information. If you order now, you can have the quarters cut your way, and the beef will be available the end of October. www.earthscapefarm@gmail.com
ORGANIC OLIVE OIL from Palestine! 500 ML Bottles. Organic, Extra Virgin and Cold Pressed. This oil is imported by Higher Grounds Coffee.
HIGHER GROUNDS COFFEE in 1# bags. Certified organic, Fair Trade. Various types, beans or ground, dark or light roast, full caf, half caf or decaf. Try a cup at the Sweetwater Market table!

***HAVE YOU TRIED OUR GRANOLA LATELY? We make two different varieties of granola including:

LAUGHING TREE PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA: organic oats, organic sunflower seeds, organic coconut, Michigan honey, Michigan-made peanut butter, organic coconut oil, pure vanilla, sea salt. $6.00/ pound
Both of these granolas are baked in our wood-fired brick oven after the intense bread-baking heat has dissipated (after several days). They are baked at a low temperature to ensure that the nutrients in the grains and seeds remain intact! Please note, these granolas are SWEETENED ONLY WITH MICHIGAN HONEY! There is absolutely no refined sugar in them. They are both wonderful with milk or yogurt or as part of a trail mix. Our children love them! Come have a taste… At least one variety will be available at the market each week.
We are truly honored to bake for you and your family.
