Bloom Ferments of Grand Rapids
Our Kombucha is a slightly sweet, effervescent, probiotic fermented tea using only fair trade and organic ingredients. Slightly sweeter than most commercial brands, Bloom kombucha has a more inviting taste and is enjoyed by long-time kombucha drinkers and people new to kombucha.
Check out our newest flavor:  Negroni Kombucha– a blood orange, juniper berry kombucha. We will be selling it in 64oz growlers for $20, 9oz cups for $2.50, or you can bring your own container and we will charge based on how many ounces. We also have our starter kits, containing the scoby, starter tea and a 1 gallon jar with directions on how to brew it.
To learn more about the company and its products, visit www.bloomferments.com and click on the FAQ tab. Jordan Michalsky will represent us at Sweetwater, and she will also bring a variety of shirts from her Happy Ferments Apparel company.

New Flavors!! This week we add 2 new flavors to our lineup! — Curryosity and Root for Ginger. Both flavors received really favorable responses last week without any official announcement, and we’re excited to “officially” announce their availability.  (Note: The new labels include the phrase “100% Organic Kraut”, so we’ve added a small button to the “old” flavors to make it clear that they too are 100% Organic…)
Ingredients:
Curryosity – Cabbage, Salt, Carrot, Green Onion, Curry, Cumin, Paprika
Root for Ginger – Cabbage, Salt, Carrot, Radish, Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes

The Roaring Mouse of Hart
Coffee Brewing Demo! This Saturday from 10-11, we will be demonstrating the use of the French press and a pour-over cone. You will be able to taste first hand the difference in flavor from different brewing methods. Pamphlets will also be provided which will give tips for grind consistency and other factors for different brewing methods. A limited number of French presses and pour over cones will be available for sale. Come enjoy some fresh coffee! We will be offering our freshly brewed pour-over coffee before and after our demo. Fill a ceramic mug to enjoy as you shop for $1, or get a to-go cup to keep you going through the morning for $3.
Just in time for Father’s day! We now offer gift certificates in any amount. A great gift for a coffee lover!
Tea lovers! Come check out our new loose leaf teas and hot brewed tea!

In the roaster this week:

 Papua New Guinea FTO – Low acid, rustic flavor, a great Island coffee!

 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe FTO – a delicious, bright, and sweet cup, with lemon and citrus notes. A great light roast!

Peru La Florida FTO –  Sweet, with notes of chocolate and caramel. (Last week for this one! We will have a replacement next week.)

Decaffeinated Peru FTO – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.

All coffee is $1.10/ounce or volume discount $12/12 oz bag $16/16 oz bag

We will be missing market next week on the 27th while we work on some new exciting changes. We will be back the following week.

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery—
It’s strawberry time here on Muller Mountain!  Every day we are either picking berries or prepping them for the freezer…  This also means our VANILLA SHORTCAKES will be available this weekend!!  They are $2.25 each and are perfect for strawberry shortcake (just add WARE FARM strawberries and whipped cream!)  These are a pastry we only make in early summer so get ‘em while they last!
Have you ever tried our Toasted Walnut Batard?  It’s a 100% organic loaf that only makes an appearance once a month or so—but it’s truly a little treat! It’s a simple recipe: toasted organic walnuts folded into our light wheat for a nutty combination with a purple hue (this comes from the walnuts).  It’s scrumptious toasted with a bit of chevre (or any soft goat cheese) or loaded up with your favorite nut butter.  Great for an appetizer or for breakfast…  Available this Saturday!  $7.50 for a loaf weighing one and a quarter pound.
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: Light and moist with a fruity flavor, a great loaf for folks with wheat sensitivities. $7.00

SPECIALTY BREAD BAKE
Toasted Walnut Batard: Aromatic toasted organic walnuts lend a lovely nuttiness and a purple hue to this versatile batard. $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
 Honey Oat OG steel-cut oats and just a titch of honey make this better than a bowl of oats for breakfast!  Extremely moist and chewy… $6.50
PASTRIES AVAILABLE FOR SATURDAY

4500$/acre to 8-9000$ an acre for ag value since 2008.)  They have since made their home in
Free Soil, and are currently producing vegetables on two acres with a small hoophouse for warm early season crops.

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.

Come get a cup of freshly brewed pour-over coffee. Fill a ceramic mug to enjoy as you shop for $1, or get a to-go cup to keep you going through the morning for $3.
Tea lovers! Come check out our new loose leaf teas and hot brewed tea!
In the roaster this week:
         New! Papua New Guinea FTO – Low acid, rustic flavor, a great Island coffee!
         New! Ethiopia Yirgacheffe FTO – a delicious, bright, and sweet cup, with lemon and citrus notes. A great light roast!

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery—
Cobmoosa Onion Rye is back in the lineup this week—a scrumptious loaf made with caramelized Michigan onions and just a bit of caraway.  The perfect loaf for a reuben or a tuna (or white fish!) sandwich.
Our plan with cookies for the summer is to bake our Hilltopper Cookies (ginger molasses cookies) every week as well as two other varieties.  We will simply alternate our other four varieties (two each week).  This week brings our hefty Treehuggers (a vegan peanut butter cookie made with local honey and maple syrup) and our Expedition Cookies (almost more a granola bar than a cookie… with oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, dates—all organic).  These were our two original cookies when we began back in 2010, and we still love them!
We are honored to bake for you and your family!  Because small good things matter.

ASPARAGUS! We will be at market with our Certified Organic Asparagus!

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.

The Roaring Mouse of Hart
It’s coffee time!  We are now serving freshly brewed pour-over coffee! Fill a ceramic mug to enjoy as you shop, or get a to-go cup to keep you going through the morning. A mug-full is $1 and the to-go cup is $3. The Bolivian coffee is almost gone! Coffee is seasonal, so it may be a while until I can get more. Don’t worry! It will be replaced with another delicious coffee!
In the roaster this week:

  • Almost out! Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes and a bright acidity. Very good with dessert.
  • Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
  • Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.
  • Sumatra Fair Trade Organic – Bold, earthy, with a molasses sweetness and a light acidity. This is a limited supply and is only available by the ounce.
  • Costa Rica Finca Amistad Organic- A sweet lower-acid cup. This is my newest, and I am still working on tasting notes.

Come taste the fresh difference!
We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get some!

New Vendor!
Cultured Love of Grand Rapids
Cultured Love is “making good food possible”, producing probiotic-laden, nutritious foods that are not only beneficial for you, but also add amazing flavor, texture, and beauty to any meal. Our current lineup of specialty kraut products — traditional sauerkraut with caraway, dill kraut, and spicy kraut — are naturally fermented and nutritious, hand-crafted in Grand Rapids.We started producing and selling our products out of the Downtown Market Incubator Kitchen in GR in September 2014.

Cultured Love is driven by a desire to spread the idea that “food is medicine”, that what we eat has a significant impact on our overall well-being, our psychology, our digestion, our ability to fight disease. This mission has grown out of years of experience dealing with chronic disease in our family, seeking alternatives to standard American diets that are increasingly devoid of nutrition, and over-reliance on standard western healthcare which often provides medical responses to health and disease that don’t always address the root cause.

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Raising 100% grass fed mostly Angus beef on pasture land that has been in the family since the 1900s.
This week’s beef list includes:

A mug-full is $1 and the to-go cup is $3.
In the roaster this week:
         Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes and a bright acidity. Very good with dessert.
         Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
        Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.

Come taste the fresh difference! Brewed samples will be available for all coffees!

We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week.

The Roaring Mouse of Hart
It’s coffee time! We have a unique coffee from Sumatra in a limited
supply again this week! If you want to try something new, come early
before it is gone. We will not be at market next Saturday, May 2nd, so
stock up this week.
In the roaster this week:

•       Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes.
Very good with dessert.
•       Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes
and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
•       Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – rich and sweet, with
chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was
decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural,
chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its
unique flavor.
•       Sumatra Fair Trade Organic – Bold, earthy, with a molasses sweetness
and a light acidity. This is a limited supply and is only available by
the ounce.

Come taste the fresh difference! Brewed samples will be available for
all coffees!
We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh
every week. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your
favorite coffee before you get some!

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.

Jen and Russ from Grandson’s Gardens in West Olive will be back this week!
From Jen:
It has been a while since we have been market vendors at Sweetwater.  We cut back on farmer’s markets the last few years when we had babies in the house but now our boys are getting big and quickly becoming little farm helpers.  This will be our 8th year with a CSA program and are also expanding our gardens and hope to have enough extra veggies this season to bring some to market.  Our hoop-house survived all the storms so far and is loaded with beautiful spinach and the lettuce mix and kale are getting close.  Along with greens we will also bring storage crops including beets, carrots, shallots, and potatoes.  All our veggies are grown organically and we are down to the last few pages of our organic certification paperwork.

Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week I’ll be at market with 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.
Black Valentine – Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
Hidatsa Red – (Almost gone–get them now!) Slight nutty taste, use in chili or red beans and rice.
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 shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
October – (Almost gone–get them now!) Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet bean, smooth, creamy texture, good in everything.
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Please let me know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that I can pre-bag those and bring them along.

I will have our certified organic non-GMO corn along in two different options:
Whole corn (for making masa) – 2# bags. If you want corn in larger amounts than just 2#, please email me. I will have the little packets of lime necessary for making the masa, as well.
Freshly-ground corn meal – 2# bags. We took our whole corn down to Windmill Island in Holland and had them grind corn meal for us. This stoneground meal is fresh, fresh, fresh!

In addition, I’ll have Grassfield Farms organic raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors:
Aged Cheddar – 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.
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.
Polkton Corners – The centuries-old name for the Grassfields farmland; this original semi-soft creamy offering is mouth-watering at room temperature.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? I’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.

If there is anything woolly that you are interested in, it doesn’t hurt to shoot me an email. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I will not be bringing along wool goods on a regular basis.
