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.

Bloom Started was in 2012 by Emily Helmus. With careful tests on each and every batch, Bloom confirms that their kombucha is full of live, healthy probiotics, and additionally contains only a trace amount of alcohol making it completely safe for kids and those who choose not to consume alcohol of any kind. To learn more about the company and its products, visit www.bloomferments.com and click on the FAQ tab.

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 – We cleaned beans for planting, and have a few extra Marrows! 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 – 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.

We will have our certified organic non-GMO corn along in two different options:
Whole corn (for making masa) – 2# bags. If you want corn in larger amounts than just 2#, please email me. We will have the little packets of lime necessary for making the masa, as well.
Freshly-ground corn meal – 2# bagsWe took our whole corn down to Windmill Island in Holland and had them grind corn meal for us. This stoneground meal is fresh, fresh, fresh–what I will have along to market Saturday is the second batch!

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! We are hoping to start offering iced coffee and tea as well as our hot brews!
Tea lovers! Come check out our new loose leaf teas!
Coffee lovers! 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.

In the roaster this week:
New! Papua New Guinea FTO – Low acid, rustic flavor, a great Island coffee!
Peru La Florida FTO –  Sweet, with notes of chocolate and caramel.
Almost gone! Ethiopia Sidama FTO – a complex cup with berry notes and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
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!
