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 Feb 4 2013


This post expired on February 05, 2023.

Had an inspiring time at the Guelph Organic Conference last weekend, including a wonderful day workshop with Michael Phillips from Vermont on Holistic Orchards. I can hardly wait to get out there and try his ideas.
Also attended short sessions all day Sat and Sunday on pastured pigs, wild pollinators, farm-centric community agriculture, electomagnetic influences (the wild side) on plants, and parsing the farm culture ideology (get big or get out, consumers are dumb, Big Ag is on our side, government is the problem, etc.) Check out www.headlands.ca for more of the alternative view of what it takes for food security these days.

Lots of eggs, meat and potatoes. Not much greens. Carrots are very tasty sweet.

I’m going for a bacon run to Gourmet Meats and can pick up a 10lb bulk order for you. I’m just the delivery man on this. Let me know if you want it by Wed am.

The Milk! documentary was on a CBC cable station so I didn’t get to see it.

Healthy eating to you all,
Ian
