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 Mar 27 2016
Easter weekend is now behind us, temperature swings and precipitation events are the new normal. What a weekend. Cami and I were on the south coast (lake Erie) visiting friends Mat and Dorothy living an off grid lifestyle and starting to farm with horses. Sunday got up to 21c then it rained alot and Monday was 4c.
The new season is upon us, so it’s time to start thinking about your meat orders raised here on pasture: pork, beef, lamb, chicken, duck and goose. Am offering advance ordering for pork sides. Chickens will be started soon, so please advise your freezer order. If you want lamb kabobs made up on skewers like in the photo, pls make order.
Chicken broth will be a regular offering for the spring.
As of Mar 20th , we can offer the following crops: leeks, kale, chard, spinach, cilantro, green onions, purple potatoes and arugula.
Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: chicken broth, chicken casserole meat, apple sauce, stuffed peppers, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).
