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 Aug 9 2015
Lamb special still on this week, 25% off. Please place orders for your fall lamb soon.
Cami is doing cabbage rolls and quiches on a regular basis now.
We have tomatoes in varieties to wonder at: the cherry type in yellow, orange and red; slicing tomatoes, romas, and heirloom beefsteak, the kind we eat with bacon and mayo! Lots of basil too.
Bush beans are now in harvest: yellow, purple and green.
Special on Chard: free bunch with every order! Three varieties: Rainbow, Fordhook and Perpetual Green.
I have a Facebook page to repost really cool news and information, especially about permaculture, climate disruption, peak energy and now the Election. It’s going to be A LONG 11 WEEK CAMPAIGN. Maybe the real stories will get out, not just the posturing and propaganda. Yes I’m voting NDP.
I got one reply so far on the Local Food Challenge, so I encourage you to review last week’s post or go here for the scoop. http://www.resilience.org/stories/2015-08-05/talking-resilience-with-vicki-robin.
Healthy Eating,
Ian and Cami
