Little Red Organics of Freesoil
Sweetwater welcomes John Ferree & Kate Leitz, experienced organic growers that specialize in high quality, consistent products. Kate has worked at farms from the western slope of Colorado to Vermont, and John started his own farm in central Indiana in 2004 after interning in Urbana, Illinois. They moved to Michigan when farming opportunities in Indiana came to a close, seeking a new market with affordable land prices. (Ground in central Indiana has increased from
4500$/acre to 8-9000$ an acre for ag value since 2008.) They have since made their home in
Free Soil, and are currently producing vegetables on two acres with a small hoophouse for warm early season crops.
Bloom Ferments of Grand Rapids
Bloom Ferments is proud to be Grand Rapids’ first kombucha company. Kombucha is a slightly sweet, effervescent, fermented tea. Kombucha is also probiotic. Bloom produces high-quality kombucha using only fair trade and organic ingredients. Slightly sweeter than most commercial brands, Bloom kombucha has a more inviting taste and is enjoyed by long-time kombucha drinkers and people new to kombucha.
To learn more about the company and its products, visit www.bloomferments.com and click on the FAQ tab. Jordan Michalsky will represent us at Sweetwater, and she will also bring a variety of shirts from her Happy Ferments Apparel company.
Cultured Love of Grand Rapids
Cultured Love is “making good food possible”, producing probiotic-laden, nutritious foods that are not only beneficial for you, but also add amazing flavor, texture, and beauty to any meal. Our current lineup of specialty kraut products — traditional sauerkraut with caraway, dill kraut, and spicy kraut — are naturally fermented and nutritious, hand-crafted in Grand Rapids.

Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week we will be at market with our certified organic beans, all harvested last fall, in the following varieties:
Bean Medley – A mixture of all our beans that is great for soup.
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Black Valentine – Taste 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 – (Almost gone) Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
Marrow – (Almost gone) Creamy bean, good in soups and baked beans.
October – (Almost gone) Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Painted Lady – Slightly sweet bean, smooth, creamy texture, good in everything.
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Zebra – (Almost gone) Smooth, creamy texture, full-bodied flavor, good all-purpose bean
Please let us know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that we can pre-bag those and bring them along.
In addition, we will have Grassfield Farms organic raw aged cheeses along in the following flavors:
Aged Cheddar – You asked, and we listened! A sharp cheddar, aged a year. Award-winning!
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.
Crofters – This delicious cheese is aged 1 year with a medium sharp taste. The texture is dry and crumbly. Very similar to Parmesan.
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.
Leyden – Originally from the Rhine Valley, now the Grand River Valley; cumin perfectly compliments this aged Dutch cheese.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? We’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.

The Roaring Mouse of Hart
Summer is here! Nothing like a hot cup of coffee for these cool summer mornings!
Come get a cup of freshly brewed pour-over coffee. Fill a ceramic mug to enjoy as you shop for $1, or get a to-go cup to keep you going through the morning for $3.
Tea lovers! Come check out our new loose leaf teas and hot brewed tea!
In the roaster this week:
New! Papua New Guinea FTO – Low acid, rustic flavor, a great Island coffee!
New! Ethiopia Yirgacheffe FTO – a delicious, bright, and sweet cup, with lemon and citrus notes. A great light roast!
Peru La Florida FTO – Sweet, with notes of chocolate and caramel.
Decaffeinated Peru FTO – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.
Come taste the fresh difference! Coffee is seasonal, so expect my varieties to change over the next couple weeks as new coffees come in. We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get some!
Like us on Facebook for updates! www.facebook.com/theroaringmousecoffee
All coffee is $1.10/ounce or volume discount $12/12 oz bag $16/16 oz bag

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery—
Cobmoosa Onion Rye is back in the lineup this week—a scrumptious loaf made with caramelized Michigan onions and just a bit of caraway. The perfect loaf for a reuben or a tuna (or white fish!) sandwich.
Our plan with cookies for the summer is to bake our Hilltopper Cookies (ginger molasses cookies) every week as well as two other varieties. We will simply alternate our other four varieties (two each week). This week brings our hefty Treehuggers (a vegan peanut butter cookie made with local honey and maple syrup) and our Expedition Cookies (almost more a granola bar than a cookie… with oats, coconut, sunflower seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, dates—all organic). These were our two original cookies when we began back in 2010, and we still love them!
We are honored to bake for you and your family! Because small good things matter.
