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.

reminder order by Tues pm to ensure I get the produce picked. place order at www.old99farm.locallygrown.net
The current visitors, Theo, Celine and David are working out famously, quite comfortable in the role of helper-farmers. David has learned the milking routine already and I can rely on him to get it done without me.
We’re working on the woody plant propagation greenhouse,“Hobbit House” so I can start this fall.
Have an infestation of Swede Midge in the broccoli, kale, cabbages. could be serious, not yet clear how to control. the small fly lays eggs and the larvae eat the growing tip of the plants.
Healthy eating,
Ian
