Maple Moon Farm of Shelby
In an effort to nourish you through the winter we are offering some new teas! Why buy local teas? You are assured that the herbs you are buying are recently harvested. Many herbal teas sold in stores are years, yes, years old. These make for low quality teas. Buying local means you can access local herbs, that aren’t available commercially. Our Michigan Cold Care has the amazing New England Aster flowers in it. These have powerful healing properties, but are still used primarily buy grassroots herbalist and are not found in commercial teas. Buying local teas have the same advantaged of buying local produce; you can know the grower, the plants grow where you live, and more money stays in your community.
NEW THIS WEEK:
*MICHIGAN COLD CARE-We combined some amazing Michigan herbs for a great remedy for colds and fevers. Elder flowers, Spearmint, Yarrow leaf and flowers, Peppermint, and New England Aster. *not recommended for children and women who are pregnant or nursing
*MICHIGAN GENTLE COLD CARE-Healing and gentle herbs for colds and fevers. Elder flowers, spearmint, catnip leaf and flowers, peppermint, and New England Asters. Suitable for children.
*LOVELY LEMON-A delicious blend of Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, Lemonbalm, and Lemon Bergamot. Most commercial lemon teas contain ‘natural lemon flavor’. Only real plants in this tea. A nice mellow lemon flavor.
*CARROTS
*SWEET POTATOES
*FARMER GRADE SWEET POTATOES
(farmer grade refers to produce that has been graded out for size or minor damage, this is the produce that many farmers eat) These make quick and easy sweet potato fries!
*POTATOES
We donated 800 pounds of potatoes to our local food bank for Thanksgiving. It is very important to us that all our community members have access to healthy and local food. Help us do this again for the December holidays! You can help feed your neighbors in need. Food banks are usually desperate for fresh, local food. Potatoes are a great resource for this. They store well, are nutrient dense (you can eat them exclusively for months without nutritional deficiencies), and most people are comfortable preparing them. We’ll provide half and you fund the other half. Potatoes are normally $1.50/lb, when you buy potatoes for the food bank, you pay only 0.75. The power of human generosity is amazing. May all be fed.
*WINTER SQUASH
-Trombicino-a delicious Italian squash that is very similar in flavor and texture to a Butternut. These are a unique squash, that you won’t find in stores. If you like Butternut, give these a try.
-Butternut
-Acorn
-Spaghetti
-Buttercup-a delicious little desert squash, with dry creamy flesh. Our favorite for baking and mashing.
-Delicata- these are tasty little gems! These cook up so tender and delicate you can eat the skin and flesh together. (no peeling!)
*BROTH BAGS
*THAI GINGER BROTH BAGS!
Wonderful Thai flavors, all grown right here in West Michigan. We combined our home grown ginger, lemongrass, Thai basil, leeks, and a pinch of cayenne for an incredible infusion of flavors. These can infuse water, chicken broth, coconut milk, or a combination. Each bag produces 2 qts of broth.

Meadow View Dairy of Fremont
If you need to pre-order a quantity of anything from the menu please feel free to call before Friday noon: 231-924-8251.
Cherry Vanilla Chevre is our newest addition to our spreadable Chevres. We think you’ll like this one, especially good on a morning bagel!
Chevreʹ Fresh chevre with a nice spreading consistency, perfect for sandwich toppings and cooking. Cherry Capital Foods of Traverse City says ” The chèvre produced by Meadow View has a pitch perfect acidity on the palate that becomes gently sweet and milky with a grassy note on the finish.”
Seasoned Chevreʹ
Our fresh Chevre available in your favorite flavorings: Blueberry Vanilla (great on a morning bagel!) Hickory-smoked bacon Bits, Garlic, Italian Herb, & Hot Pepper
Feta
A smooth and creamy feta which is low in salt and rich in fresh goat milk flavor. The brining process gives feta cheese a salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly consistency. Feta cheese can be served as a table cheese, used in baking savory dishes, or served as an appetizer or in salads. The classic Greek salad is made with Feta cheese. In crumbles or cubes for easy slicing.
Tomme de Fremont
Our first aged cheese is quickly becoming a customer favorite! Developed from a French recipe, Tomme is a lower fat mold ripened cheese, aged at least 60 days. This gives the cheese a stronger flavor & firmer texture than the fresh Chevres, perfect for slicing.
Dutch Kase
A Meadow View Dairy original! If you are looking for a nicely aged but milder version of our Tomme, this is the cheese for you. Vacuum sealed without mold and aged at least 60 days.
Marco Similar to Dutch Kase but pasteurized and vacuum sealed, it comes in Pepper, Sage, Italian & Garlic.
