New Arts & Craft Vendor!
Just Goods of Grand Haven
Just Goods sells hand crafted items that are made by prisoners who are connected to Humanity for Prisoners and by students in the CBI program at the OAISD. These students are 18-26 year-olds with disabilities. The Humanity for Prisoner items include artwork, leather goods, prayer shawls, hats and gloves and other knit products. The CBI products include coasters, firestarters, jewelry, journals, cards, and paper. We also sell traditional fair trade items that are acquired through certified Fair Trade vendors (Ten Thousand Villages) and that are procured through individual relationships. Profits from sales support the work of Extended Grace.

Bloom Ferments of Grand Rapids
I will be at the market with bottles of ginger and growlers of lavender hibiscus kombucha. I will also be bringing product from Cultured Love.
Cultured Love of Grand Rapids
We’ll have our 5 kraut flavors for sale and sampling: All-organic ingredients, naturally fermented, and probiotic. Never cooked, raw and vegan, with no vinegar or starter culture, our Kraut is good on its own, or added to many other dishes, providing great flavor and nutrients.
· Carry Me Away – Traditional caraway kraut, as you find on a Reuben sandwich. This kraut is closest to what many grandmothers made in large crocks in their basement.
· Dillyicious – Our best-seller. Tastes like a pickle. Onion, garlic, dill, and turmeric. Our “gateway kraut” for those who say “I don’t like sauerkraut”.
· Purple Hot & Spicy – Onion, garlic and Cayenne. Hot for some, not so hot for others.
· Curryosity – We love India and Indian food. This kraut is a highly versatile addition to many dishes, or by itself.
· Root for Ginger – Our nod to Kim-chee, with similar ingredients — Carrot, radish, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Just a little heat.
