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 18 2017
We have a small quantity of new harvest kale, chard, mixed greens, radish and cabbage; won’t last long, in fact I’d be fine with not selling any of it: more for the house!
Turkey and goose still on half price. Same with garlic at $1/bulb. Lamb and pork in good supply.!
The open house and discussion re permaculture and Belize agro-forestry was well attended, very enjoyable sharing afterward. HERE is the link to a short video clip by one of the classmates, complete with Garafunga drumming soundtrack
I shared my intention to start a learning group for ‘newbie permies’ who want to learn how to do more in their own home/apartments/small properties to use permaculture to reduce their carbon footprints, become more self-sufficient, and design their places. We’ll use Bob Waldrop’s online book ipermie!. ($US2 for an 800 page manual, the complete permaculture design course and more). It is “A good-life ebook design guide for Millennials, Boomers, and Generation X. Strategies, tools, and techniques to help you navigate the cardinal threats of climate instability, economic irrationality, the limits to growth, and political criminality. An Almanac of Useful Information and Urban Permaculture Self-Study Guide.”
If you are interested in learning more of this project, drop me a line.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
