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 Jan 1 2017
More for the symbolism of it, Cami and I were planting greens in the hillside greenhouse on Jan 1st! We moved kale and cabbages that were dormant in the main house, and planted lettuces, radishes and mesclun. They will take about three months to grow to market size, a month faster than if left in the unheated greenhouse, according to Eliot Coleman’s Four Season Harvest p49. We’ll see.
Greens available now; kale, chard, parsley, cilantro and romaine. Roots: carrots, potatoes, onions, leek. Lots of meats and eggs. Price for XL now $6/doz, $6.75 for Jumbo.
Market will be open Friday, 4 to 6, or by arrangement.
Healthy Eating
