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 May 31. 2015
As of May 31st, we can offer 38 items including the following crops: rocket, kale, mixed greens, chard and green onions. I have short list of transplants available for sale: Tiara cabbage (the popular early one), chard, tomatoes and more) There are lots of eggs. My flour mill is back in service so I can offer whole ground Red Fife Wheat flour.
Specials on asparagus and rhubarb. I have lamb on now at 10% discount till it’s gone.
Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: garlic pesto, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).
Meats
I have 3 lambs in the freezer. Folks are starting to ask about placing orders for roasting chickens for next summer. Yes you can, leave me a deposit of $11 a bird, minimum 5 birds.
Eggs
The layers are back in the eggmobile, in the pasture eating grass and the yolks are bright yellow/orange. My regular 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
Sorry, sold out. I lost all colonies over the harsh winter, have not restocked and pondering what to do. It’s heavy work.
Thank you to all bringing in recycled egg cartons; you can start saving for me again.
Notes
1. Produce units available are same as price unit. eg 500 gram, each, etc.
2. Quantity available is almost always estimated, so if you see a negative number, go ahead and order it, I can fill in most cases.
3. If you order and don’t pick up, I trust you will pay.
Your bit of inspiration for the week: a list of 100 people whe have contributed to the understanding of how to live well within the Earth’s means.
The (En)Rich List celebrates a wealth of inspirational individuals. Collectively, the people highlighted on this website present a rich tapestry that points to globally prosperous and sustainable futures.
The Post Growth Institute spent months defining and refining this list, motivated by the way mainstream media often notes achievement: by celebrating material and monetary wealth. Take, for example, the Forbes Rich List, released each March, which showcases the world’s wealthiest billionaires.
Those listed in the ‘Top 100’ and ‘Honourable Mentions’ have a diversity of approaches, positions (both geographical and political), and perspectives. They have opened up new avenues for engagement with important matters by inviting us to question what is fact, belief or perception, challenging us to imagine ways to a sustainable future.
Healthy Eating,Ian and Cami
