You may wonder “what is a puddingstone”? Most puddingstones look like a hardened glob of vanilla pudding with raisins and nuts. The vanilla pudding portion is actually hardened sandstone with small colored rocks (raisins and nuts) trapped within it. Puddingstones were made from the sand and small stones found in streams and rivers a long, long, long, long, (yes, very long) time ago. Small pieces of red jasper (red to brown quartz) traveled down water pathways were these small stones became imbeded into sand bars. With lots and lots of freeze thaw cycles the sand became hardened into sandstone forever trapping the small stones within it. This is called a conglomerate stone and in our case a more colloquial name is a PUDDINGSTONE. The amazing thing is that puddingstones are not native to Michigan. Puddingstones have traveled from the Lorrain Quartzite located 30-40 miles southeast of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario. Thousands of years ago as the glacial ice melted, the puddingstones hitched a ride on enormous sheets of ice that pushed them all the way to Michigan. Today, Michigan found puddingstones can be a collector’s stone. In 1998 numerous puddingstones were discovered during excavation for the new barn. We couldn't help but use the name for the farm!
