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.
Beef and Veal
I’ve uploaded all the items now in the freezer of veal (beef about 12 months old, compared to 30 months for prime beef and who knows for store bought hamburg) and beef.
I worked out the prices for the quarters compared to buying all individual cuts that are included in a quarter. With some price changes to items like ground beef, it works out to about the same cost.
The yield after cutting, deboning, etc. is about 74% so your effective cost per lb of meat, buying a quarter, is $6.75. That’s as plain as I can make it.
This is heritage Lynch Lineback beef, flavourful, pasture-fed and finished, grown by me right here.
Go to the beef section and the veal section of the Meats tab to see the listings.
