I will have our certified organic dry beans at Saturday’s market–grown last summer on our farm south of Grand Haven. The special this week is Black Valentine Beans–regular price for a 2 lb. bag is $11.50–this week you can get a 2 lb. bag for $10. I will also have a limited amount of Grassfields Farm aged raw milk cheese: Chili Cheese, Dill, Garlic & Onion, Gouda, Lamont Cheddar, and Leyden.
