The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
It’s the countdown to Christmas! We just stocked up on Fair Trade Organic chocolate including a limited quantity of chocolate covered caramel assortments and several new chocolate bars! We also have FTO chocolate chips, baking cocoa, almonds, and cashews.
Stop by for a cup of the freshest coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, to sip on as you shop! We roast our coffee fresh every week so you can get it at the peak of its flavor! We also carry 6 varieties of loose-leaf tea.
Check our facebook page for details on our coffee of the week.
We will also plan to bring our Guatemala FTO, Papua New Guinea FTO, Colombia FTO, and Peru Decaf.
As always, we sell our coffee by the ounce so you can get the perfect amount to use while it is the freshest. We also have gift certificates; the perfect gift for a coffee lover!
Come taste the fresh difference! Coffee is seasonal, so expect some variety. We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week.
Our list of Teas and Chocolates has gotten too long to include here, so check out our Facebook page for the full list of what we have available.
Email us to order in advance, and we will have it bagged up and ready for you. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get there, and speed up your shopping if you are in a hurry!
Bloom Ferments Kombucha
Bloom will be at the market with bottles and growlers of ginger and lavender hibiscus. Please remember to bring back bottles. I will be at the market this week and next week, but then will be out of town for the following 3 weeks, so get kombucha while you can!

You shop at Sweetwater Local Foods Market because you are aware of the risks associated with consuming anything but the best, GMO-free and clean foods, right?
Did you know that what you put on your skin is just as important as what you eat?
Wouldn’t you rather use products with ingredients you recognize like Vitamin E, organic coconut oil, organically grown herbs, 100% pure therapy grade essential oils, certified organic carrier oils, organic saponified oils, and organic Goats Milk instead of products with long ingredient lists of scientific names for carcinogens, pesticides, and hormone disruptors?
Stop by my table this week to sample the quality, hand made products I bring to you and feel free to ask any questions you have!
This week I am offering Recycled Gift Wrapping options for Christmas as well as these products:

BREADBOXES! We are excited to announce that we are taking orders for beautiful, hand-made breadboxes being produced right in Grand Rapids. The breadboxes have a built-in cutting board (it also doubles as the door) and are made of Michigan Hickory that’s been finished with food grade wood oil. {The pieces of wood are actually all “cut-offs” from larger projects so the breadboxes are a great way to re-purpose this scrap wood.} There will be a display model breadbox at both markets so that you can see how beautiful these handmade treasures are! Orders can be shipped anywhere in the country or can be delivered to either of the markets for a convenient pickup site. The turn around time is 1-2 weeks. The cost of the breadboxes is $128. For an additional $7 you can have our logo laser-engraved on the front! Ask us for an order form this weekend at the market! {Hilde’s father Peter is actually the one selling the breadboxes —we are just supportive middlemen!)
