The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
This cooler weather is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea! Either 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. We also have some amazing fair-trade organic chocolate barks, and chocolate covered coffee beans! We can only bring a few varieties of our chocolates to the market each week, so be sure to check out our list on Facebook and pre-order if there is something specific you want.
Featured coffee of the week! 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!

Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
We are set to have a pretty thorough frost over the weekend, so I am busy protecting what I can and harvesting what I can’t. Certainly we are going to say goodbye to the last of the hangers-on of the summer crops this week. But we still have plenty of cold-hardy vegetables in the field to take us through the rest of the fall. Overall, I am ready for this significant shift in the rhythm of the farm.
This week I will likely bring:
kale
chard
collard greens
bok choi
tatsoi
napa cabbages
mini cabbages
broccoli
baby fennel
sweet peppers
eggplant
leeks
celery
carrots
potatoes
turnips
fall radishes
red and yellow onions
shallots
garlic

Shady Side Farm of Holland
The beans are back! We continue to harvest our certified organic beans, and will have the following freshly-harvested varieties along this week:
Black Calypso – Plump, with creamy texture. Slightly nutty, mellow taste, something like a russet potato.
Black Valentine – Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
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.
Hutterite Soup – Comfort food, cook fast, creamy soup, baby food.
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili.
Jacob’s Cattle Gold – Hold their shape and soak up other flavors well. Great for soups, stews, salads and baked beans.
Marrow – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with. Great soup beans.
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.
NEW! 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.
Leftover from last year, and discounted:
Black Turtle – (last year’s crop) Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture. Discounted $1 a pound while supplies last.
Please let us know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that we can pre-bag those and bring them along.
In addition, we offer Grassfield Farms organic raw aged cheeses in the following flavors:
NEW! Smoked Gouda – I’ll have samples along. Smoky and rich, this cheese does not disappoint!
NEW! Aged Edam – I’ll have samples along. Two years old, this skim milk cheese is wonderful!
Country Dill – A house favorite, the dill herb in Gouda well represents the fresh grass that dominates the cows’ diet.
Crofters – This delicious cheese is aged at least a year and has a medium sharp taste. The texture is dry and crumbly. Very similar to Parmesan.
Fait Gras – Grassfields’ signature cheese, Fait Gras is a triple cream cheddar. Rich!
Gouda – A traditional handmade cheese in keeping with West Michigan’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.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? We’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.
Ask about our grassfed lamb for your freezer. Last year some of our Sweetwater customers loved the lamb they got from us so much that this year they ordered two. (Same thing happened at Fulton Street Market in GR.)
Finally, I will have my handwoven rag rugs along this Saturday.
See you Saturday!

Maple Moon Farm of Shelby
We’ve been busy gathering in the harvest and preparing the gardens for the cold weather months.  This week we spent the better part of three days harvesting our potato field.  We grew seven different varieties, and they all look big and beautiful.  We gathered up over 9,000 row ft of potatoes to feed you all winter.  We use an old fashion potato digger that brings the tubers to the surface of the soil, and then we pick them up by hand.  It is one of our favorite harvests!  We are so grateful to Nancy Oomey and Sandy Vandenberg, who played with Zen and Sova while we harvested, and to Elsie Binns and Kathleen Rash for bringing fresh energy to the final day of harvest. We’re also grateful to the Bobiers who rent us the beautiful ground where we grow our potatoes. We’ll begin cleaning and sorting them, and have at least one variety ready for market on Saturday.
This week we are offering:

Crofters – This delicious cheese is aged at least a year and has a medium sharp taste. The texture is dry and crumbly. Very similar to Parmesan.
Fait Gras – Grassfields’ signature cheese, Fait Gras is a triple cream cheddar. Rich!
Gouda – A traditional handmade cheese in keeping with West Michigan’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.

Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? We’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.

Ask about our grassfed lamb for your freezer. Last year some of our Sweetwater customers loved the lamb they got from us so much that this year they ordered two. (Same thing happened at Fulton Street Market in GR.)

Finally, I will have my handwoven rag rugs along this Saturday.

See you Saturday!

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Well, we’ve had a fire in the woodstove these past few days—no roaring blaze yet, but just enough to keep the chill out the house.  Our neighbor Jim (for whom Griff’s 8 Grain is named) was out stacking wood on his porch this morning—this is the act which signifies fall for us like no other.  As we passed Jim, my son Finn turned to me in the car and said, “I guess that means winter is coming Mom!”  So grateful Sweetwater when the weather turns cold!
We will be bringing our RUSTIC BAGUETTES to the market every week for the next month or so…  If you haven’t tried one of these hand-rolled beauties, you are in for a treat!  It takes twice as long to roll our baguettes as any of our other loaves—but we think they are well worth the effort…  Ask for a taste!
OUR TEN WEEKLY VARIETIES
Homesteader’s Wheat (An extraordinary light wheat bread with a wonderfully chewy crust) $6.00
Oceana Round  ( Rustic Italian country bread) $6.00
Third Coast Three Seed  (Sunnies, Sesames, and Flax in a light wheat) $6.50
The Michigander (made with Michigan-grown whole wheat—dark and soulful) $6.00
Annie’s Raisin Spice (sweet organic raisins, organic cinnamon, and freshly ground cardamom) $7.00
Griff’s 8-Grain (Hearty, hearty! Eight organic grains and a bit of Michigan honey) $7.00
Finn’s Pecan Raisin Pecan (Jam packed with pecans and organic raisins) $8.75
100% Whole grain Kamut: A heritage grain with a golden hue.   Distinct and moist with a flavor similar to corn.  A non-hybridized cousin to modern wheat. $7.00
Elbridge Parmesan Olive (Sumptuous parmesan and Kalamata black olives) $8.00
Pilgrim Rye: A German-style rye made with cracked rye berries and OG Spelt Flour.  (No wheat flour except for what is in the levain starter).  Slice it thin to enjoy this dark and hearty loaf.  $7.00 a loaf
SPECIALTY BREAD BAKE
Big Country:  Made with germ-restored wheat flour and Michigan-grown rye, this 2 pound loaf is sumptuously supple and earthy.  Perfect pick for a crowd.  Price $7.50
Chili Cheddar   Locally-grown jalapenos peppers (by our friends at MAPLE MOON FARM), coupled with tangy cheddar cheese makes for great flavor that bites back!  Fresh or toasted, we love it with fried eggs or a bowl of any kind of chili. $8.00
Rustic Baguette  Our interpretation of the classic French baguette.  An excellent partner for your favorite cheese or spread.  They also just look nice sticking out the top of a shopping bag!!  Price $3.00
Cobmoosa Onion Rye (Caramelized Michigan onions, OG Michigan rye flour, and a hint of caraway) $6.00
PASTRIES AVAILABLE FOR SATURDAY
Deep Mud Brownies Our brownies are made with extraordinary Callebaut dark chocolate, our own fresh eggs, and Michigan grown organic barley flour—they are amazing!!
$3.25 each
Hilltoppers Cookies- Molasses Ginger cookies…  A 4oz cookie sweetened with blackstrap molasses and bits of candied ginger.  $2.50 each
Pecan Maple Oaties:  Made with OG rolled oats, real Michigan Maple Syrup, Pecans, and organic raisins 2.50 each.
Whangdangdoodlers: Chunks of Valrhona dark chocolate, OG walnuts, and real OG butter make this a cookie you’ll never forget.  $2.50 each

Black Calypso – Plump, with creamy texture. Slightly nutty, mellow taste, something like a russet potato.

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 Gold – Hold their shape and soak up other flavors well. Great for soups, stews, salads and baked beans.
Marrow – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with. Great soup beans.

Zebra – Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean.

Black Turtle – (last year’s crop) Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture. Discounted $1 a pound while supplies last.

Maple Moon Farm of Shelby
Our farm is based on the idea of growing food for our neighbors to contribute to a healthy community.  It is our customers that make us a community farm (because otherwise we’re really just those folks who are growing way too much food).  It is important to us to honor and acknowledge those who support us in all our gorwing endevours.  We want to highlight some of these special people with our Customer of the Month.  For October 2015, that person is Margaret Bart.  Margaret has supported our farm for years, sharing with us her love of food.  She tells us food stories of her youth, shares recipes with us, and is always looking for the smallest produce-just the right size for one person (we now save these for her).  Like most of you that know her, we love Margaret, and are so appreciative of her and the ways she supports our farm.  Like all future Customers of the Month, Margaret will receive 10% off all purchases this month.

We have lots of exciting produce to offer you this week!

FRESH GINGER-we grew this heat loving tropical plant right here in west MI.  Enjoy this baby ginger, incredible flavor and no peeling required.  Available this week only!  This freezes very easily, so you can stock up.

Meadow View Goat Dairy of Fremont
Cherry Vanilla Chevre is our newest addition to our spreadable Chevres. We think you’ll like this one, especially good on a morning bagel!
Chevreʹ  Fresh chevre with a nice spreading consistency, perfect for sandwich toppings and cooking. Cherry Capital Foods of Traverse City says  ” The chèvre produced by Meadow View has a pitch perfect acidity on the palate that becomes gently sweet and milky with a grassy note on the finish.”
Seasoned Chevreʹ                                                    
Our fresh Chevre available in your favorite flavorings: Blueberry Vanilla (great on a morning bagel!) Hickory-smoked bacon Bits, Garlic, Italian Herb, & Hot Pepper
Feta                                                                                       
A smooth and creamy feta which is low in salt and rich in fresh goat milk flavor. The brining process gives feta cheese a salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly consistency. Feta cheese can be served as a table cheese, used in baking savory dishes, or served as an appetizer or in salads. The classic Greek salad is made with Feta cheese. In crumbles or cubes for easy slicing.
Tomme de Fremont                                     
Our first aged cheese is quickly becoming a customer favorite! Developed from a French recipe, Tomme is a lower fat mold ripened cheese, aged at least 60 days. This gives the cheese a stronger flavor & firmer texture than the fresh Chevres, perfect for slicing.
Dutch Kase                                                               
A Meadow View Dairy original! If you are looking for a nicely aged but milder version of our Tomme, this is the cheese for you. Vacuum sealed without mold and aged at least 60 days.
Marco Similar to Dutch Kase but pasteurized and vacuum sealed, it comes in Pepper, Sage, Italian & Garlic.
Other items from our farm:
We’ll also have eggs from our free-range, GMO-free flock.
Note: We will be attending market the last Saturday of every month.

Bonao Cacao Wild Earth Chocolate of Muskegon
Wild Earth Chocolate will be at market with the Bonao Cacao products and we will be trying new superfood combinations with the chocolate in the coming weeks, offering limited edition selections as we figure out which ones you want the most. This week we are bringing a couple of takes on chocolate covered Kale. Dehydrated kale leaves are dipped 75% organic chocolate, then sprinkled with Himalayan pink salt. There will also be clusters featuring Kale, with sprouted and dehydrated sunflower and buckwheat sprouts. Great way to get more Kale in the kids and adults.

Shady Side Farm of Holland
We have begun harvesting our certified organic dry beans this week, and we are excited that we may be able to bring back some old friends to you this Saturday. Stop by our stall and ask what’s new.

Sale! To clear out the old, we are discounting all last year’s beans. We will have the following available at $2 off per pound: Black Valentine, Hutterite Soup, and Jacob’s Cattle. We have the following at $1 off per pound: Black Turtle and Pinto. 

If money is tight, now would be a great time to contact us about stocking up on last year’s beans. They are still wonderfully nutritious and delicious beans. Bulk purchasing (5, 10, and 25 lb. bags) through pre-orders is available for Jacob’s Cattle and Black Turtle. Email us at shadysidefarmmichigan@gmail.com before Friday noon, please.

We will have Grassfields Farms cheese (from the Meermans in Coopersville) along in several varieties, including the wonderful new Smoked Gouda. They are sold out of Edam and Aged Cheddar for a few months, so if you particularly like these varieties, stop by the stall and snatch up the last one or two I have in my stock.

Finally, we have lambs that are ready for your freezer. They are grass-fed, and this year we were able to raise them without the use of any medications. Stop at the stall and ask me for a Freezer Lamb Fact Sheet.

Next week we will not be at market, so please stock up on what you need for the next two weeks.

Fall is contraction – gathering things scattered in the rush, collecting and inventorying. Time to get the farm – and ourselves – ready for the quieter parts of the year.

We’ve also been getting the ground ready for a long winter’s nap – rolling in drip lines and tilling and mowing to keep our spring weeds to a minimum.

Little Red Organics of Freesoil
Tis the season for putting veggies away for the winter.  Things on the farm have slowed down enough that we’re packing our Mason jars and freezer bags.  There is a new to us method of freezing veggies without blanching.  It works if you plan on using the frozen goodies within twelve months of freezing, otherwise blanching is necessary.  We have tried it successfully with shelling peas and beans so far. . . it is a real time saver.
We have tons of stuff for bulk freezing and canning (see below).  A number of things will continue in bulk, but tomatoes are headed out quickly.  We have everything but limes for making 99.9% local salsa & dilly beans!
Best,
Kate, John & Laila

The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
This cooler weather is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea! Either 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. We also have some amazing fair-trade organic chocolate barks, and chocolate covered coffee beans! We can only bring a few varieties of our chocolates to the market each week, so be sure to check out our list on Facebook and pre-order if there is something specific you want.

At this point it looks like we will be out of town on the 19th, so stock up this week! Hopefully this is the last time off for awhile!

Featured coffee of the week! This week we are featuring everyone’s favorite, Guatemala FTO. This is a delicious medium roast with low acidity, and layers of milk chocolate, caramel, and roasted nuts.

We will also plan to bring our Honduras Don Oscar Omer Natural, Papua New Guinea FTO, Colombia FTO, and Sumatra 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 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!

Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week I will have along our certified organic beans, all harvested last fall, in the following varieties:
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture. We’ve got a lot of these beans left, so they are discounted $1 a pound while supplies last.
Black Valentine – Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
Hutterite Soup – Comfort food, cook fast, creamy soup, baby food.
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili. We’ve got a lot of these beans left, so they are discounted $2 a pound while supplies last.
Marrow – (Almost gone) Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with.
October – (Almost gone) Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Painted Lady – (Almost gone) Slightly sweet bean, smooth, creamy texture, good in everything.
Pinto – (Almost gone) Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Zebra – (Almost gone) Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean.

Please let us know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that we can pre-bag those and bring them along.

In addition, we offer Grassfield Farms organic raw aged cheeses in the following flavors:
NEW! Smoked Gouda – I’ll have samples along. It’s amazing!
Aged Cheddar – You asked, and we listened! A sharp cheddar, aged a year. Award-winning!
Country Dill – A house favorite, the dill herb in Gouda well represents the fresh grass that dominates the cows’ diet.
Crofters – This delicious cheese is aged 1 year with a medium sharp taste. The texture is dry and crumbly. Very similar to Parmesan.
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.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? We’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.

Hand-Dyed Wool
I’ll also bring along some hand-dyed yarn for fall/winter knitting projects. This wool or wool/nylon blend yarn is from our sheep, hand-dyed by us. Stop by and see what we’ve got!

Simply Soaps of Spring Lake
Well I have some big news…. I’m not just wintering in Texas this year, I have decided to sell my house and move there permanently. I am super sad to leave this market, all the wonderful vendors and fabulous customers I have come to love. I will be available by phone or Etsy (Simply Soaps by Shirley) and can ship you anything you need in the future. The great thing is you can stock up before I go because everything will last at least a year! I don’t know how much longer I will be here as I will be leaving as soon as the house sells but I think its safe to say I’ll be here through Sept. I will come to the market every Sat until I go and will keep you posted. THANK YOU for all the joy you have brought to my life and for buying these products!
