Homestead Ponds Follow along as I post recent happenings, recipes and life at Homestead Ponds. The decision was made not to continue to grow our own fish.

We are so happy to offer unique food items .
*Artisan Roasted Coffees - Fair Trade Organic and Specialty Microlots
*Freshly Roasted Lightly Salted Almonds and Cashews
*Shiitake Mushrooms, fresh, dehydrated whole and dehydrated powder
*Garden produce, can We originally started out raising our own Rainbow Trout which we offered fresh and smoked, tragically in 2013 we lost all 5500 fingerlings for the coming year due to an electrical outage. As our different varieties of smoked fish and pickled fish were well received we decided to concentrate on these products and purchased fish from our local commercial fisherman. Over the years we have concentrated on adding unique products - including our own roasted organic artisan coffees and iced teas made from wild cranberries and wild blueberries. We also have organic certified Shiitake mushrooms, available fresh, and dehydrated whole and powered. And lastly we added roasted Cashews and Almonds in an assortment of flavors. In October of 2021 we added signage at the Homestead and have Monday-Friday, 8-5 hours for you to stop in and pickup fresh roasted coffees and nuts. When available we will have shiitake mushrooms products, jams, jellies, specialty cookies and other goodies. If you desire to order in bulk +3 # coffee or +1 # nuts please order in advance and receive savings for bulk pricing. Please call either Scott 218-244-9654 or Jane 218-244-6422. We'd love to hear from you!

The new coffees are ordered and on the way to the Homestead!

Believe it or not but this is always such 'hard work' deciding on new beans. Getting samples in, getting them roasted, and doing our taste tests only to have "BEANS SOLD OUT" is so frustrating!

But here are the next ORGANIC BEANS to be featured at Homestead Ponds. The flavor notes are provided by Cafe Imports and are what we look at for ordering beans to sample.

Fair Trade Organic DR Congo
Nutmeg with mellow fresh coffee cherry flavors. Winey
acidity and mild candy-like flavors.

Organic Ethiopian
Cocoa and clove with mild cooked cascara flavors.
Tart acidity and mild sweetness.

Organic Guatemala
Almond with mellow pecan flavors. Complex acidity and
a smooth mouthfeel.

Someone recently said "You just sell someone else's roasted coffees and repack them don't you?" NO! As most of you know, we purchase green coffee beans and do the roasting ourselves.

Something that IS DIFFERENT about our roasted coffee is that we do pan roasting rather than drum roasting. With drum roasted coffee the beans are all roasted to the same 'color' - dark, medium, light roasts.

Pan roasting give just the opposite result, a variety of bean 'colors' and more importantly a wonderful depth of flavor.

And one of the best reasons to get our coffees is that we have a
'roasted on' date. We start marking down our bags of coffee when they are two weeks old! Although our beans are packaged in air tight bags, we want everyone to have the best of coffees!

Stop by a pick up a bag or two or three! There is always bags available, along with our fresh roasted cashews and almonds.
