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 12, 2015
Blueberry u-pick across the road opened up this weekend, inspiring me to hustle on saturday and offer the same for raspberries, currants and vegetables. We had a few eager pickers and will continue this weekend. You too may wish to try u-pick, especially if you want to freeze some chard for the winter.
A couple of new entries this week: beet tops, summer squash and the napa cabbage is joined by an early white cabbage, the Tiara.
Eggs prices are going to increase this week but I will be offering different sized dozens: medium, large, extra large, maybe even a few jumbos. This is not because my feed costs have gone up but the average egg size has gone down, due to the new younger flock. So my average price has gone down while my costs stay the same, comprends?
I got an email today from Palatine Fruit saying they could deliver cherries this wednesday. But that’s too short notice. Let me know if you want cherries next week at $55/20 lb box.
The season of bounty is upon us!
Healthy eating
