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 Sept 18 2016
This week something different: Cami is running the farm solo! I’m away for a men’s conference in Minnesota till sunday next.
So please get your orders in by friday 9am so she has time to pick and sort.
The cool weather is helping the vegetables growing outside, but the greenhouses are now needing close up at nighttimes.
We have tomatoes, peppers, sweet and hot, green and yellow, cabbage, sorrel, potatoes, carrots, beans (three colours), kale, arugula, spinach, lettuces, garlic, leek, onion, eggplant, herbs (basil, lovage, sweet cicely, parsley, cilantro) and beets and chard. Hows that for a lot?
The lamb sausage is picking up aficionados, if you’ve never had it time to try. Chicken in halves and quarters, grown here, no wholes left. The pigs are fattening up quickly and very friendly towards humans. We’ll soon be moving them to the orchard to clean up groundfalls.
Lots of eggs, chicken and duck.
Cami is making sauces and preserves, like tomato sauce and juice, so if you want some, give us a note on your order.
We will be having our cider making day in early October. No date finalized yet.
Remember the cheese making workshop, Nov 12-13. $100 registration.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
