Shady Side Farm of Holland
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 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. 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

Wool Products — If there is something you want (dryer balls, socks, mittens, yarn, roving), please send me an email to let me know. I can’t take everything, and it helps me to know what to take along…
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shearing Day — Next Saturday, March 3, we will host our annual sheep shearing event from 9-3. Come anytime during the day, and stay as long as you’d like. Dress warmly and in old clothing—we shear in a barn! Timothy Wright will be doing the shearing for us. We are located at 13275 Blair Street, Holland, 49424, just off US-31 south of West Olive.

and phone number at their market table this Saturday and next. Those who aid them in
this important research endeavor will be entered into a drawing. First drawn submission

PS. Our birds are kept in the barn at night and are free to roam outside during the day.
