Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
Starting Sunday evening through to Tuesday nights, we were given over four, probably close to five inches of rain. Friends, that’s a lot of water for the fields to absorb all at once, and while I was sad to miss all of you at market last Saturday, I am glad I made the time to finish up the last essential bits of field work – most importantly, planting next year’s garlic crop.
And speaking of planting garlic this week I will have seed garlic available for sale. This garlic has been passed down through my family for five generations, so I can’t tell you its name. We just call it Blackbird Garlic. I can tell you that it is a hardneck variety with good flavor and is beginning to be acclimated to West Michigan growing conditions. I have spent the last couple of years improving my seed stock and now feel like I can offer it for sale.
In addition we will bring
Head lettuce
Fennel
Scallions
Mini-cabbages
Full size cabbages
Kohlrabi
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Sweet peppers
Hot peppers
Butternut Squash
Potatoes
Onions
Shallots
Looking forward to seeing old friends and new this Saturday!

This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans:
NEW! Black Garbanzo – Nutty flavor, firm texture. Good for salad, soup, hummus.
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Green Flageolet – Creamy, firm texture and a sweet mellow flavor. A quick-cooking bean.
Hidatsa Red – Similar to a kidney bean but with a slightly nutty taste, these beans are good in salads, chilis, soups or served with grains.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet, with a smooth, creamy texture.
NEW! Spanish Tolosana – Rich, creamy speckled bean, hold shape well.
Tiger Eye – Rich, hearty flavor, with a smooth texture and tender skins.
Yellow Indian Women – These buttery beans retain their shape well, and are less starchy than some other beans. Good all purpose bean.
Zebra – Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
BULK BEAN PANTRY SPECIAL – Stock up now! Three 5# bags of beans (Hidatsa, Painted Lady and Zebra) at a total savings of $15 over the already-discounted 5# bag price. I’ll have just two sets along—if you know you want the pantry special, let me know so I can take extra.

Corn Meal & Grits/Polenta
Our corn is Wapsie Valley, which is a yellow & red open pollinated corn that dates back to the 1850s. We have always grown hybrid corn, but recently started growing open pollinated corn. Last year we grew both on the same farm, under the same growing conditions, and ran a protein test on them. The hybrid came back with test results of 7.3% protein and the Wapsie Valley came back as 10.2% After harvest we carefully clean our corn, removing broken kernels and other seeds that have gotten mixed in. It’s then delivered to the DeZwaan Windmill in Holland, where it is stone ground and made into grits/polenta or corn meal. Since no preservatives are added, it’s best to keep our corn products refrigerated or frozen. For more info on hybrid & open pollinated see http://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/open-pollinated-heirloom-and-hybrid-seeds
