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 Dec 7 2014
Carrots are in the cold cellar, 4 bushels of them (that’s 140 L, which sounds more impressive )
The pork cutting instructions have been given to the butcher and you will be able to pick up your half or individual cuts on Thurs 18th, that’s next week.
As of Dec 7th, we can offer 60+ items including the following crops: salad greens, arugula, mint, spinach, beet root (two varieties, Detroit Red and Chiogga), chard, celeriac, carrots, collards, squashes (hubbard, butternut, Sibley, buttercup, spaghetti and delicata).
Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: garlic pesto, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).
Meats
Beef cuts are now limited but I have lots of ground beef. I have 5 lambs in the freezer, as well as veal. Geese and chicken are sold out. I have live stewing hens for sale at $6 each.
The pork will be back from the butcher on December 18th.
Eggs
My current price is $6/XL doz. I sell mixed size dozens that weigh at least 588 gm (medium), 672 grams, the ‘large’ size dozen, and Extra Large, 770gm plus carton. Please bring in recycled cartons.
Raw Honey
The summer crop is extracted from the comb and available. You bring your jar and fill it here, or buy in prefilled mason jars.
Thank you to all bringing in recycled egg cartons, hold off now, I have several months supply.
