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.

Special on Kale: larger bunch for same price.
We’ll have freshly butchered lamb this thursday. You can choose from whole leg, bone or deboned and rolled, loin chops, tenderloin, ground or stew, shanks and rib racks. I’ll have soup bones and organs.
Here’s what the kabobs looked like last time we made them up.
I’m holding one of our soil block flats for starting seedlings.
Cami found some volunteer potatoes poking up through the arugula!
The greenhouse is experiencing a burst of growth with the greens: kale, chard, arugula, cabbage leaves and spinach.
This wednesday is the family food freedom rally in Newmarket. It’s about having choice to eat and know what is in our food. Still room in the cars, leaving Old 99 6:30 am, returning 1pm.
We are crowdfunding this food rights issue.
