Discover our Local Sugar Alternatives - Honey, Maple, and Sorghum!

HONEY –
Whenever I come across Hippocrates’ famous words, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”, honey always comes to mind. And not just any honey, but pure, raw, local honey that’s never been heated, filtered, or adulterated in any way!

The medicinal properties of honey have been touted for thousands of years… antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antifungal… the research is limitless and fascinating! An indispensable part of many home medicine cabinets, it is also a vital ingredient in natural over-the-counter syrups and homemade remedies.

And everyone knows honey is delicious, whether as a topping, a baking ingredient, when cooking, or to simply sneak a spoonful… what an energy boost!

SORGHUM –
My husband is from Kentucky where sorghum is drizzled on everything, from cornbread and biscuits to oatmeal and pancakes… but I’m from Michigan, and had never heard of the stuff until we met – now I don’t know how I lived without it. And sure, sorghum’s tasty, but its health benefits might surprise you – it’s a powerhouse of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals, that are typically lacking in our diets.

Maybe it’s the smokey flavor from being cooked down over the woodfire – maybe it’s the earthy tang that lends a uniqueness to our almost every meal – but it’s my “something special” in BBQ, baked beans, chili, salad dressing, and our only additive to oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream… Add sorghum when frying sliced apples and you don’t need anything else! Love sugary sweet potatoes or carrots? Try sorghum instead, and you’ll do your health, as well as your taste buds, a favor!

MAPLE –
Who isn’t familiar with the treat of maple syrup on pancakes, waffles or biscuits? A natural and nutritious sweetener, maple is a go-to choice when you’re in need of a sweet topping… but have you ever tried it when cooking or baking? That hint of maple when baked in breads or cookies is incredible – what about maple buttercream frosting? And if you haven’t tried Marilyn’s yummy confections at the farmer’s market, you’ve missed out on the perfect crunchy, sweet snack!

This versatile sweetener can transform ordinary roasted chicken, beef brisket, or pork ribs into a meal fit for a king – or your in-laws! And maple syrup paired with bacon is an incredible combination, whether with salad, veggies, or eggs!

A good source of vitamins and mineral nutrients, don’t overlook maple as a healthful alternative to conventional sugar, which has no nutritive value!

Tonight's featured vendor? Mosquito Creek Farm!!

Five years ago, we were hosting a small sorghum-making demonstration on our farm when a strange vehicle came up the drive… enter the delightful Chipps family – modern homesteaders with 6 kids and a passion for natural, healthful living.

Mom Jessica has loved baking since she was a kid, and became THE bread baker of the family because her mom hated it. She’d been on a quest for artisan sourdough breads, and with the economy down a few years ago, they decided to take their perfected breads and abundant garden harvests to the Downtown Troy Farmer’s Market.

It’s definitely a family affair with each member helping at the summer market, where they’re beloved, familiar faces on Cherry Street with their extensive display. They simply do a bit of everything, and do it all so well… the artisan baked goods and pizza crusts, the fresh produce from their bountiful garden… and don’t forget those yummy cookies, like the gingersnaps you sampled tonight at pick-up… as well as Aunt Sarah’s cookies, blending peanut butter, chocolate chips and oatmeal – genius!

I felt I’d been transported to The Little House in the Big Woods when I visited their home, and was thrilled to see Jessica in action, whipping up a mountain of those famous pizza crusts. To watch her make something so delicious look entirely effortless was quite a treat. And to think she’d make 100 crusts at time, when they became her most popular item at the farmer’s market! Incredible!
