The Weblog

This page contains news, event information, and other items added by Ian and Adam, the resident farmers at Old 99. We send out a message every week, but most are set with a delete date about two weeks later. I archive some of the posts if they have content other than weekly availability of produce and meat.

You can send me questions too, which if they are of a general nature, I can post to this Old99 blog.

Old 99 Farm, Week of Jan 20th 2013


This post expired on January 23, 2023.

Coldest weather of the year this week; today -20 at dawn. I checked the passive solar greenhouse min/max thermometer: went down to -10, but under the row cover the crops looked ok.

Speaking of crops, I have lots of mizuna, it’s very cold hardy and is even regrowing where already harvested. So MIZUNA is on special this week. 200 gram bunches (a large handful at the stem end) is 10% off last week’s $2/bunch price. Try it in smoothies, steamed, stirfried, in soups and stews.

Don’t forget I have honey from this summer’s hive production.

See you Thursday,
Ian
