Mitten Microgreens

10/09/2026

We can't wait to be at the market tomorrow! The weather is going to be PERFECT! See you there from 10am-2pm 🌱

Farmers market this Saturday in Allendale. 🎃

Allendale’s Mitten Market is outside at Trail Point Brewing, 10am–2pm, and October is being kind to us: sunny and in the 70s. Lucky weather for a market day. All ages are welcome!

Pumpkins are the headline this week.

3 Dog Flowers has stacking pumpkins, small pumpkins, gourds, and cornstalks, plus fresh-cut bouquets.

Masko Mackey Farm & Preserve has hand-painted mini pumpkins with their lavender and lavender products.

Baked goods are being covered by Loaven with sourdough loaves, English muffins, focaccia, scones, cookies, and granola.

Also this Saturday:

Mitten Microgreens — nutrient-dense microgreens grown in OMRI-certified living soil. New: cat grass for pets.

Rendered Roots Co. — small-batch whipped tallow skincare.

Market opens at 10. Trail Point Brewing Company and their scheduled food truck Bearded Dad’s Backyard Barbecue open at noon, so come early for the booths and stay for a pint and lunch.

A few more outdoor Saturdays are still ahead. October 31 is the last outdoor market of the season, and we’re making it a spooky Saturday.

And a thank-you to Grandpa & Grandma’s Garden. Last Saturday was their final market of the year. The growing season wrapped, and they spent it keeping the booth full of produce, eggs, and preserves. We’ll miss them. Thank you for every Saturday you showed up. 💚

Saturday, Sept 19
12:00 PM – 3:00 PM (this Saturday only)

Covered b**r garden / patio at Trail Point Brewing
6035 Lake Michigan Drive, Allendale

Heavy rain and wind mean no tents in the lot. We’re setting up under the roof so you can still shop local without standing in the storm (with a pint in your hand, Trail Point will also be open at noon 🍻).

Compact lineup this week, plus The Wandering Cup coffee cart nearby and Rooted at Heart joining us with fresh-milled baked goods and sourdough.

Grab what you need, then stay for a pint.

Thank you, Trail Point Brewing, for making room for us on a rough-weather Saturday. 💛

Normal 10 AM – 2 PM outdoor hours return next week!

Thank you all for understanding, and please still support local 🙂

4-40x concentrated vitamins 🤩

Tiny plants. Enormous résumé.

A handful of Mitten Microgreens isn’t a garnish. It’s a concentrated hit of the same vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds your body actually uses — packed into seedlings harvested at 7–14 days, when nutrient density is at its peak.

What the research keeps finding (2012 USDA study + follow-ups):
• Up to 4–40× more vitamins C, E, K and carotenoids than the mature plant of the same variety
• Broccoli micros: one of the richest known food sources of sulforaphane (the brassica compound everyone talks about)
• Sunflower: complete plant protein plus vitamin E, zinc, and selenium
• Red cabbage / purple brassicas: vitamin C + anthocyanins (those deep pigments doing antioxidant work)
• Cilantro: sky-high carotenoids for eyes and immune support
• Radish, kale, kohlrabi, arugula: mineral diversity + glucosinolates

That’s why we call them a superfood without the superfood lecture. A small handful on eggs, a grain bowl, a sandwich, or straight from the clamshell is the easiest nutrition upgrade in Allendale.

Grown here in OMRI-certified living soil. GMO-free seeds. Regeneratively grown in the Mitten.

Find us Saturday 10am–2pm at Allendale's Mitten Market @ Trail Point Brewing Company — or message for a local drop.

Okay, we have to brag. 🤩

Rainbow Beets and Ruby Red Swiss Chard just came off the trays in Allendale and they look like someone spilled jewelry into a clamshell.

Green leaves. Magenta stems. Pink veins. Little flashes of gold. The kind of color that makes avocado toast look like it got dressed up and eggs look like they belong on a restaurant plate.

These are the pretty ones. The “wait, those are edible?” ones. The ones you garnish with and then eat the garnish.

Grown in OMRI-certified living soil. Non-GMO organic seed. No pesticides. Packed today in BPI-certified compostable packaging.

Rainbow Beets — colorful, earthy, betalain-packed.

Ruby Red Swiss Chard — jewel-toned crunch.

Peak window is 10–21 days in the fridge. Ice-bath wash if you want them extra crisp.

Think Big, Eat Micro.

Catch us Saturday 10–2 at Allendale’s Mitten Market @ Trail Point Brewing.

Which one’s winning your camera roll — the rainbow stems or the ruby crunch?
