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.
Week of June 28 2020
Good day to all you fine folks!
The month of June is coming to a quick close and with that we see the currants and goose berries starting to show signs of ripening and the peaches are coming in nicely. Other berry varieties like raspberries and black berries are doing great and it looks like a good hearty crop.
We will have our meat chickens available next week; whole or half birds.
We have lots of red kale this week, which is a very versatile green. It can be used in any dish hot or cold and makes great kale sauerkraut or used as a simple wrap for quick snacks.
There is still rhubarb available for your rhubarb-strawberry pies, jams and tarts.
Plenty of select cuts of beef and pork are also available for the BBQ or smoker. Don’t forget your eggs when you place your order, we have a good regular supply of eggs.
FREE RANGE CHICKEN. Our broiler chickens raised here will be back from the butcher on friday in time for market. We offer whole and halves, ranging is size from 1 to 3 kg. Price is same as last year: $5.50 a lb ($11/kg).
Please place your order before 5pm Wednesdays. Note this is later than we have specified in prior weeks. Orders placed after this time will not be picked because we value fresh picked nutrition.
Order pick up is Thursday and Friday 3pm to 6pm. Please feel free to call or text Nick at 519-755-0577 if you have any questions or if I don’t see you pull into the lane way.
Thank you for supporting local, small artisanal farms and their families. It makes a difference for our environment and local economy. We look forward to seeing you all again this week.
Be well,
Nick & Angela
Ian and Cami
