Blackbird Farms of Coopersville
This week at market, we are offering again our pre-selected, pre-packed bags of fresh vegetables. These bags are something akin to our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares. We assemble bags of our highest quality veggies based on whatever is fresh and in season for that week. In the bag, we aim to have some combination and quantity of at least six different vegetables with a combined value around $20. We also include a brief note from Farmer Greg and a farm-tested recipe. Each bag costs $15.
This week’s bag will likely contain some combination of the following: head lettuce, cut greens (probably spinach but possibly baby kale), mini-cabbage, Brussels sprouts, pie pumpkin, garlic, and celeriac (don’t worry if this vegetable is unfamiliar to you, I will provide storage and preparation suggestions). Again, each bag will cost $15. (Please note that due to the variability of the weather this time of year, the contents of the bag might be a little more in flux than in other seasons. I will try to hew as close to this list as I can, but substitutions may occur.)
This week we also will have a few vegetables available for pre-order:
–fresh ginger: $20 per pound (1/4 pound minimum)
–Music garlic: : $15 per pound (1/2 pound minimum order)
–head lettuce, red and green: $2.50 each
–arugula: 1/4 pound bag for $3
–Brussels sprouts: $3 per stalk
We will also have very limited quantities of seed garlic, both Music and Anna Barbara’s Ohio Red, for $15 per pound.
To order, please e-mail us at hello.blackbirdfarms@gmail.com by noon on Friday. We will then send you an invoice via Square. Payment can also be made via cash or check (payable to Blackbird Farms).
Thanks so much! We are looking forward to seeing friends old and new this Saturday!

Sweetwater Curated Local Foods of Muskegon
There is an order going in for the list below on Wednesday by noon. Please email back at sweetwaterlocalfoods@gmail.com if there is something you want so I can be sure to include it in the order. Thanks!
Ludwig Farmstead Creamery of Fifthian, IL
For this week choose from :
Kickapoo named after the State Park which is near the creamery, and the Native American Kickapoo tribe that was prominent in this area. Kickapoo cheese is a Ludwig original recipe. Kickapoo is a semi-hard, raw milk cheese reminiscent of an aged Parmesan, with fresh, buttery flavors and a sharper finish. It has a distinctive green rind.
Vermilion River Blue The scenic Vermilion River flows close to Ludwig Farmstead Creamery and was the inspiration for naming this great cheese. Vermilion River Blue is a triple cream cheese with a soft creamy texture punctuated with gentle notes of blue.
Sangamon Double Cream Named after a beautiful Illinois river, Sangamon is a smooth & firm, but still melt-in-your-mouth cheese. Made with day-fresh milk and added cream, Sangamon melts well as a recipe ingredient.
Jakes Havarti A raw milk, semi-soft cheese that melts well, favorite of the founder Jacob Ludwig.
Jakes Havarti Herb Dill, garlic, and chervil give this semi soft creamy cheese a fresh herb taste.
All cheese comes in 4-5 oz wedges for $6.00 each.
