Green Morning Farm of Mears
Hello Sweetwater! My name is Ian and I am the owner/grower/operator of Green Morning Farm in Mears, Michigan. I specialize in growing high quality & flavor packed microgreens for West Michigan area restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets. Coming from a culinary background, I was first introduced to microgreens as a garnish in high end restaurants and as time progressed I began to learn more about the incredible health benefits they provide. Harvested at the first true leaf stage, microgreens can have up to 40 times the nutrient density of their mature counterparts. Depending on variety, microgreens go from seed to harvest in 10-21 days. All Green Morning Farm microgreens are grown indoors using natural methods.
MICROGREENS LINEUP FOR 3/3:
SUNFLOWER – A Complete Protein, Sunflower Shoots contain all the essential amino acids and are loaded with antioxidants, B Complex, C, D, E, Calcium, Zinc, & Iron. A true superfood! Nutty flavor reminiscent of sunflower seeds with a silky texture and big time crunch. Perfect for sandwiches, salads & wraps. Great for juicing. The list goes on. Kids love them!
SWEET PEA – High in Vitamins A, C, Antioxidants & Beta Carotene. Sweet and tender, Pea Shoots are quite versatile as they are fantastic raw or cooked. Used extensively is Asian cuisines, they lend themselves nicely to stir frys, soups and are delicious sautéed on their own as a side dish. Excellent for juicing.
RADISH – A blend of Red Rambo & China Rose, radish micros are high in Vitamins A, B, C, E, K, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium & Zinc. Tender shoots with the kick you expect from a radish. A perfect way to add some spice & color to salads, sandwiches & wraps. Great on tacos!
All microgreens are packed in 2oz clamshell containers and priced at 1 for $3, 2 for $5, mix and match all you like. More varieties are in the works and will be be available in the coming weeks. I look forward to seeing you at the market!

Scholl Farm of Montague
There is still time to enter into our drawing. You can participate in our avian
sociological research project by answering the endless question “Why does the chicken
cross the road”. Give us your answer along with your name and phone number and you
will be entered into a random drawing. First drawn entry will win a whole frozen
chicken, the second, a flat (2 ½ doz.) of eggs. The drawing will take place Saturday,
March 10 at 11 AM at the Market. Winners will be notified by phone and published in
the Sweetwater weekly email. Prizes can be picked up on Saint Patrick’s Day at the
Market.
Due to the numerous clever and creative entries received thus far, we have decided to
further recognize (by a flock of fowl committee members) unique and distinguished
responses with a dozen eggs. So think wide, think far, get inspired…..perhaps your entry
will be rewarded as well.
We will be there this Saturday with:
Whole frozen Chicken from 6 to 8 lbs.
Eggs
PS. Our birds are kept in the barn at night and are free to roam outside during the day.
We supplement their diet with local certified organic feed from Grice Farms and treats of
organic apples and alfalfa hay.
Thank you for recycling egg cartons and more importantly your considerate patronage to
Sweetwater Market.
