Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week I’ll be at market with our certified organic beans, all harvested last fall, in the following varieties:
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.
Hidatsa Red – (Almost gone–get them now!) Slight nutty taste, use in chili or red beans and rice.
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 – Hold shape w/ long cooking, soak up other flavors well, soups and stews.
October – (Almost gone–get them now!) 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.
Please let me know ahead of time if you’d like to order 5# bags of any one variety, so that I can pre-bag those and bring them along.
I 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. I will have the little packets of lime necessary for making the masa, as well.
Freshly-ground corn meal – 2# bags. We 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!
In addition, I’ll 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.
Edam – A variety of Gouda made with skim milk: Elastic, yet firm, this flawless low fat cheese is our best melter, improving any dish.
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.
Polkton Corners – The centuries-old name for the Grassfields farmland; this original semi-soft creamy offering is mouth-watering at room temperature.
Cheese Sticks – Want to try some cheese, but don’t need a whole 8 ounces? I’ll have a few cheese sticks along each week, in a variety of cheese types, for $2 each.
If there is anything woolly that you are interested in, it doesn’t hurt to shoot me an email. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I will not be bringing along wool goods on a regular basis.

Five Oaks Farm of Montague
EGGS! Beginning April 1st we transitioned our small flock of layers to Certified Organic Layer Feed. They are also given a steady diet of fresh greens & veggie scraps and all the bugs they can find! Eggs are $4.50 a dozen, as the cost of organic feed is double that of non-GMO,
conventionally grown layer mix. 2014 CSA customers: Eggs are available as part of your remaining 2014 shares.
The Roaring Mouse of Hart
It’s coffee time! We have a new coffee this week! We will have a
unique coffee from Sumatra in a limited supply. If you want to try
something new, come early before it is gone!
In the roaster this week:
• Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes.
Very good with dessert.
• Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes
and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
• Mexico Terruño Nayarita Organic – a bright, rich cup with caramel
notes and a sweet finish. This is another great cup from a group of
small farmers in Mexico. It is claimed to be the best coffee in
Mexico, and the farmers get a high price for the quality.
• Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – 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.
• Sumatra Fair Trade Organic – Too new for cupping notes, this is a
limited supply and is only available by the ounce.
Come taste the fresh difference! Brewed samples will be available for
all coffees!
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!
