Cultured Love of Grand Rapids
We’ll have our 5 kraut flavors for sale and sampling: All-organic ingredients, naturally fermented, and probiotic. Never cooked, raw and vegan, with no vinegar or starter culture, our Kraut is good on its own, or added to many other dishes, providing great flavor and nutrients.
· Carry Me Away – Traditional caraway kraut, as you find on a Reuben sandwich. This kraut is closest to what many grandmothers made in large crocks in their basement.
· Dillyicious – Our best-seller. Tastes like a pickle. Onion, garlic, dill, and turmeric. Our “gateway kraut” for those who say “I don’t like sauerkraut”.
· Purple Hot & Spicy – Onion, garlic and Cayenne. Hot for some, not so hot for others.
· Curryosity – We love India and Indian food. This kraut is a highly versatile addition to many dishes, or by itself.
· Root for Ginger – Our nod to Kim-chee, with similar ingredients — Carrot, radish, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Just a little heat.
We’ll also have “Good Food Good Mood” t-shirts and totes.
We will be at market with our fermented krauts.

Anise offers a sweet licorice pop with subtle hints of fennel and tarragon, swirling in velvety chocolate throughout.
Peppermint, strong, cool, hot and always a favorite with deep dark chocolate, especially at this time of year.

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Charlie and I have had a great time making sandwiches these days. We are trying to branch out from our old standbys to try some new delectables!
Today we made mayonnaise with a bowl and a whisk—it took us two tries but it was well worth the effort! We wanted to come up with a dressing worthy of a top-notch turkey sandwich (on grilled Homesteader’s Wheat), and indeed we did. We paired the turkey with a tangy cheddar, some fresh spinach—and our herbed mayo took it over the top. We would love to hear what sandwiches you are making these days!
Also, we promise to have more Oceana Rounds at the market this weekend for those who want to try it out for French Toast…
