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 Apr 1st. 2017


More eggs this week, I may be onto the source of the problem. anyway they’re laying more.

I’ve posted several real exciting world futures links on my facebook page. I hope you go have a look at the videos of John D Lui, american cinematographer and journalist, or Gaviotas, the village in Columbia that was created on a wasteland and is now world famous for creating solutions to energy, jobs, ecological restoration.

In our garden we have same choice of greens as last week, and still lots of meats in the freezers. Taking orders for half pig, quarter beef, roasting hens, for next fall.

Starting up soon: Permaculture for newbies: A good-life 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. We’ll use ipermie!, an almanac of useful information and urban permaculture self-study guide. No cost for the study group: just a commitment to attend biweekly for 10 sessions. We’ll see where we go after that. First session week of April 15th.

Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
