Wind Dancer Farm of West Olive
Erin Rant of Wind Dancer Farm will be at the market this week with 10 pound boxes of frozen certified organic blueberries. Each box is $45. There is a limited supply, so customers will need to get em while they’re hot…or cold as the case may be!
Shady Side Farm of Holland
This week I’ll be at market with our certified organic beans, all harvested this fall, in the following varieties:
Black Turtle – Common black bean with a thick skin and a meaty texture.
Black Valentine – Black beans are back! Taste like kidney beans, great for salads, soups and dips.
Hidatsa Red – 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.
Marrow – Plump, soft white beans that soak up the flavors of whatever you cook them with.
October – Creamy, velvety smooth texture, nutty, sweet flavor, thin skin, soups or chili.
Pinto – Earthy flavor, great in Mexican cooking, falls apart under long cooking.
Zebra (limited quantities) – Also known as Amethyst. Creamy texture with a full-bodied flavor.
In addition, we’ll have Grassfield Farms 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.
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.
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. In addition, if there is anything woolly that you are interested in, it doesn’t hurt to shoot me an email. I can’t take everything along every week, so let me know what you’d like me to focus on. Hope to see you Saturday!

Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery—
It’s soup season on Muller Mountain… This means that at least three days a week (and often for lunch) we are dippin’ up big, hot, steaming bowls of soup. Here are a few of our favorites: Chicken soup with veggies and rice (Annie’s favorite), Split Pea (Finn’s favorite), Chili (Charlie’s Favorite), Lentil soup with sausage and venison (Hilde’s new favorite), and Broccoli Cheddar (Alida’s favorite because it’s creamy and she barely has to use her four little teeth).
At our house, if there is soup, THERE IS ALWAYS BREAD—sometimes fresh, sometimes toasted—always with some good butter… And this, my friends, is how we survive the winter!!
