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.

Both flavors received really favorable responses last week without any official announcement, and we’re excited to “officially” announce their availability.

Ingredients:
Curryosity – Cabbage, Salt, Carrot, Green Onion, Curry, Cumin, Paprika
Root for Ginger – Cabbage, Salt, Carrot, Radish, Garlic, Red Pepper Flakes
Add those to 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.

Shady Side Farm of Holland

Bean Medley – A mixture of all our beans that is great for soup.
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.
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 – (Almost gone) Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
Marrow – (Almost gone) Creamy bean, good in soups and baked beans.
October – (Almost gone) 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.
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 will 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.
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.
And we 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. We 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–what I will have along to market Saturday is the second batch!

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.

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
