We will be at market Saturday with our certified organic beans. Did you know that a pound of beans is the equivalent of 3-5 cans of beans? And that you can control what is added to the beans, unlike when you use the canned variety? If you’d like to try beans, but you’ve never cooked them from dry, stop by and talk to me. I’m no chef, and if I can cook beans, you can, too.

In addition, we’ll have Grassfield Farms raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors: Country Dill, Edam, Gouda and Lamont Cheddar.

Kasza Sugar Bush of Shelby

Along with our bottled syrup, we have also expanded our line of maple products this summer to include the following:

Maple Cream – this is maple syrup condensed, cooled, and stirred into a beautiful buttery-like spread excellent on bagels, toast, doughnuts, winter squash, or a glaze on meat (esp. fish, and venison). The best thing about this is that it is totally natural only pure maple syrup.

Maple Candy – an excellent treat for someone’s sweet tooth. Simply pure maple syrup cooked down to only sugar and minerals remaining with enough moisture to hold the sugar in beautiful little maple leaf shaped candies.

Maple Granulated Sugar – is much like Maple Candy but without moisture. This can be used in place of white sugar as a natural sweetener along with the maple taste (esp. on oatmeal)

Maple Sugar-Coated Almonds and Pecans – a healthy sweet and crunchy treat.  These make great gifts if they don’t get eaten before that!!!

Please stop by and check out all these 100% natural products for yourself. We would be very happy to answer any questions or visit our web www.kaszasugarbush.com Looking forward to seeing you Saturday!

iCompost of Whitehall Middle School

A group of 7th grade students and their teacher-advisor from Whitehall Middle School have started a composting initiative at their school in an effort to decrease their garbage sent to the landfill, as well improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The team, called “iCompost@WMS” has placed compost bins outside the school to which they add fruit and vegetable scraps collected from the school kitchen, cafeteria and teachers’ lounge each day. In addition, they compost coffee grounds from the teachers’ coffee room, and leaves from around their school. The group is active on social media and hopes to teach the younger generation that it’s #hiptocompost! They are excited about sharing their message with the Sweetwater Market shoppers, and will also be selling compost bins on behalf of the Muskegon Conservation District. Follow them on social media to learn more about their project as they compete in the Lexus Eco Challenge!
