We will not be at market on June 21, so stock up this week! This week we will be at market with 1 and 2 pound bags of our certified organic beans in the following varieties:
Black Calypso (near the end of our supply) – Creamy plump texture, nutty, mellow russet potato like flavor
Black Turtle – Common black bean, great in Mexican dishes
Black Valentine – Tastes a little like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips
Hutterite Soup – Comfort food, cook fast, creamy soup, baby food
Jacob’s Cattle – Big and meaty, taste & texture of new potatoes, traditional baked beans, chili
Jacob’s Cattle Gold – Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews
Marrow – Creamy bean with a slight taste of bacon, good in soups and baked beans
Nuña – Good for sautéing in pan with oil and spices (soak first!), taste like fried potatoes
October – Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking
We are out of several of our varieties already. If you have a favorite bean, you might want to stock up on it.
In addition, we’ll have Grassfield Farms raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors:
Chili – Gouda with Red Chili flakes, this mild and creamy cheese has delightful spice without being too hot.
Country Dill – A house favorite, the dill herb in Gouda well represents the fresh grass that dominates the cows’ diet.
Edam – A variety of Gouda made with skim milk: Elastic, yet firm, this flawless low fat cheese is our best melter, improving any dish.
Garlic & Onion – The most aromatic of herbs. Don’t be the only one in the room to eat this spiced Gouda or you soon will be.
Gouda – A traditional handmade cheese in keeping with West Michigan’s (and our family’s) Dutch culture.
Lamont Cheddar A rare, natural rind English cheese, named for the Grand River’s first settlement near our farm.
