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 July 28 2013
This post expired on July 31, 2023.
The hot season crops in the greenhouse are just starting, eggplant being the first with tomatoes and peppers to follow.
It’s been a good couple of weeks with my visiting farmstay helpers David M, Theo H, Celine T. and now Simone B. Building tree cribs, bringing in the wheat straw, gardening and caring for the animals have kept us busy. We enjoy prepping meals together and of course I try to get them thinking about climate upset, energy post-carbon, and debt based money economics.
Fully committed for beef for the fall, but have roasting chickens and lamb available for advance orders.
Healthy eating,
Ian
