Shady Side Farm of Holland
I will be at market this Saturday with 16 varieties of certified organic dry beans grown on our farm south of Grand Haven. Have you tried our Hutterite Soup beans yet? These beans were introduced by the Hutterite sect in the Dakotas. Hutterite Soup beans have a delicate, buttery taste, cook fast, and make a creamy soup without the need for dairy products. I used them yesterday in a White Chicken Chili, and it was good. I will also have along to market aged cheese from Grassfields Farms in Coopersville. They are an organic dairy farm, and their cheese is made from their organic unpasturized milk.
Please let me know if you need wool items, or any bulk (over 2#) amounts of the beans by emailing me before 5 pm on Friday at info@shadysidefarm.com.

Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
We spotted a Sand Hill Crane this morning (I first heard them the 28th of Feb.), heard spring peepers yesterday evening, collected 4 duck eggs yesterday, photographed the 1st crocus Tues., had a polite little worker bee ride on my shoulder for awhile on Mon. (I did all the talking, tho), and the killdeer announced their arrival Monday morning.
We have chicken eggs aplenty for Saturday, as well as a few duck eggs. We are sold out of soup bones, oxtail, roasts, and kabob meat. For a meaty soup with bone broth, we have shank with bone. Short ribs also remain in stock, along with burger, burger patties, stew meat, brisket, a wide selection of steaks with and without bone, liver, and tongue.
We have several sizes of raw honey available. Aaron and Isaac leave at 5a Fri. to take in both days of the MI Beekeepers Conference in East Lansing. Aaron is 14 and it’s his third year attending; Isaac is 12 and it’s his second time. (I’m bracing for the whirlwind of excited information I’ll hear when they get home Sat. night!) We will be working hives the next time weather cooperates. Initial assessment is encouraging for colony survival this winter.
Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday morning,
Sarah
