In an effort to bring more organic winter veggies to the market we have worked out a unique arrangement with the GRYMCA-sponsored Veggie Van & Cherry Capital Foods to bring a variety of USDA certified organic veggies from 4 northern Michigan farms. Stop by the booth this Saturday and find: rutabaga, purple Daikon radish, carrots, gold, candy cane & red beets, & parsnips!
Shady Side Farm of Holland
*Accepts debit/credit cards.
Food Demo!! Stop by and see us demo two different ways to cook the grits from Shady Side Farm—on the stove top and in the instant pot. We’ll start about 10 am and if you hang around long enough, you can have a taste!
This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans:
Bean Medley – A mixture of several of our beans, good for soup.
Black Garbanzo – Nutty flavor, firm texture. Good for salad, soup, hummus. (Almost gone.)
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. (Limited supply.)
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.
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.
If you are interested in bulk orders of beans (5# or more of any one kind), please email me to inquire about prices and to place your order.

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
