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 cider day sat Oct 21
It’s a combined message this week, first an invitation to come out with kids (or not) and enjoy a potluck apple cider pressing. I do have 8 bushels of apples but you may want to contribute some too. start time 2 pm till about 5. should be nice day but will be making biochar too which means a fire to stay beside.
We have lots of greens, roots, tomatoes, peppers this week still. I will have fresh beef in two weeks, so you may want to check if there’s room in the freezer for a quarter. Carrots special on bulk buy 4kg or more.
