We are Mike and Lona Bronkema of Shady Side Farm and we have been farming since 1992 and have recently transitioned to organic in parts of our operation, certifying through Global Organic Alliance (GOA). The farm is home to 150 or so sheep and some chickens. With the help of our parents and children we raise hay and row crops, including edible beans, corn and small grains. Wool from our sheep is dyed at the farm, and in our spare time Mike makes beautiful, warm wool socks and Lona makes hefty rugs from recycled fabrics. We will have these at the market as well as bagged & dyed roving wool for spinning.

Until winter market our breads will be brought to the market by our friends at Maple Moon Farm. They will have at least six of our nine varieties on hand—all made from 100% organic flours and grains. Nearly all of our breads are naturally-leavened using a levain that we cultivate on site in our bakery. All of our doughs undergo a long, slow fermentation process that produces extraordinarily flavorful and easily digestible breads. The grand finale: our breads are baked in a handbuilt ,wood-fired brick oven which creates loaves of amazing texture and beauty!
