Shady Side Farm of Holland
We have begun harvesting our certified organic dry beans this week, and we are excited that we may be able to bring back some old friends to you this Saturday. Stop by our stall and ask what’s new.
Sale! To clear out the old, we are discounting all last year’s beans. We will have the following available at $2 off per pound: Black Valentine, Hutterite Soup, and Jacob’s Cattle. We have the following at $1 off per pound: Black Turtle and Pinto.
If money is tight, now would be a great time to contact us about stocking up on last year’s beans. They are still wonderfully nutritious and delicious beans. Bulk purchasing (5, 10, and 25 lb. bags) through pre-orders is available for Jacob’s Cattle and Black Turtle. Email us at shadysidefarmmichigan@gmail.com before Friday noon, please.
We will have Grassfields Farms cheese (from the Meermans in Coopersville) along in several varieties, including the wonderful new Smoked Gouda. They are sold out of Edam and Aged Cheddar for a few months, so if you particularly like these varieties, stop by the stall and snatch up the last one or two I have in my stock.
Finally, we have lambs that are ready for your freezer. They are grass-fed, and this year we were able to raise them without the use of any medications. Stop at the stall and ask me for a Freezer Lamb Fact Sheet.
Next week we will not be at market, so please stock up on what you need for the next two weeks.

Little Red Organics of Freesoil
Fall is contraction – gathering things scattered in the rush, collecting and inventorying. Time to get the farm – and ourselves – ready for the quieter parts of the year. This week we’ve been busy cleaning onions, shallots and garlic to store. We’re waiting and watching as our cauliflower, Napa and storage cabbages are heading up .. We’ve also been getting the ground ready for a long winter’s nap – rolling in drip lines and tilling and mowing to keep our spring weeds to a minimum.
Best,
Kate, John & Laila
