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.

For climate science education I really recommend a prof in California, background in astronomy, who has put all his lecture notes up on the web. Dr Richard Nolthenius has taught at Cabrillo College (17,000 students) for over 30 years. Here is the link. He emphasizes sorting out the truth on the weight of the evidence.
The fourth session of Permaculture and Climate Change, offered by Adrian Hodgson and myself is happening at Westdale public library, July 19, 6 to 8pm. Come out to learn how to adapt a permaculture design to your lifestyle, live the good life in spite of climate disruption.
