Our steers are on lush rotational pastures from May to November. They get all our quality hay they can eat, plus a little home-grown and ground- on-the-farm grain mostly in winter. Feeding cows small amounts of good grains are like humans eating small portions of dessert. It’s ok for them as long as grass and legumes are their main diet. The steers are hung to age and processed by Ebel’s Meats in Falmouth, a family-run USDA operation.
Quarters of BEEF for sale. This is the most economical way to purchase beef. Talk to me or email for more information. We have 2 quarters still available for sale. It will be ready the end of October. www.earthscapefarm@gmail.com

Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery of Hart
Our breads are 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!
This week’s SPECIALTY BREAD:
Rosemary Round: Local, freshly chopped rosemary transforms our light wheat bread into something althogether new. $5.50
OUR NINE WEEKLY VARIETIES:
Homesteader’s Wheat (A light wheat bread with a wonderfully chewy crust) $5.00
Oceana Round ( Rustic Italian country bread) $5.00
Third Coast Three Seed (Sunnies, Sesames, and Flax in a light wheat) $5.50
Annie’s Raisin Spice (sweet organic raisins, organic cinnamon, and freshly ground cardamon) $6.00
The Michigander (made with Michigan-grown whole wheat—dark and soulful) $5.50
Griff’s 8-Grain (Hearty, hearty! Eight organic grains and a bit of Michigan honey) $6.50
Finn’s Pecan Raisin Pecan (Jam packed with pecans and organic raisins) $8.25
Elbridge Parmesan Olive (Sumptuous parmesan and Kalamata black olives) $8.00
Irish Cheddar Peppercorn (Smooth Irish Cheddar and tongue-tingling organic black pepper) $8.00
Pastries for Saturday: We will be baking our Delightful Pecan Date Scones, Cranberry Orange Scones, Truly Ginger Scones, and our Michigan Cherry Scones. All of our scones are made with organic butter and cream, fresh eggs, and a pinch of organic sugar. We will also be baking our Expedition Cookies, our Tree Hugger PB Cookies, and our Deep Mud Brownies.
***HAVE YOU TRIED OUR GRANOLA LATELY? We make two different varieties of granola including:
MOUNTAIN CRUNCH GRANOLA: organic oats, organic sunflower seeds, organic coconut, sliced almonds, Michigan honey, organic coconut oil, pure vanilla, sea salt. $6.00/pound
LAUGHING TREE PEANUT BUTTER GRANOLA: organic oats, organic sunflower seeds, organic coconut, Michigan honey, Michigan-made peanut butter, organic coconut oil, pure vanilla, sea salt. $6.00/ pound
Both of these granolas are baked in our wood-fired brick oven after the intense bread-baking heat has dissipated (after several days). They are baked at a low temperature to ensure that the nutrients in the grains and seeds remain intact! Please note, these granolas are SWEETENED ONLY WITH MICHIGAN HONEY! There is absolutely no refined sugar in them. They are both wonderful with milk or yogurt or as part of a trail mix. Our children love them! Come have a taste… At least one variety will be available at the market each week.
We are truly honored to bake for you and your family.

Last but not least
Second Notice! By unanimous vote of the vendors, Sweetwater will be CLOSED on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 26th. We’ve been tracking this day for a few years now and it seems people are either too full to think about food, or are out scooping up Super Saturday bargains! Thanks, and please pass on to folks who might not read this.
If you would like to become a Friend of the Market for a suggested donation of $20.00, which entitles you to a free cup of coffee at every market you attend for a full year, please see me at the market this Saturday! We will also have Higher Grounds Coffee by the Cup for a suggested donation of $1.00.
Hope to see you at the market!
