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 May 23 2021


There’s nothing like fresh greens and vegetables from a local farm, and they’re even better when it’s an organic, regenerative, natural permaculture farm.

Nick is having a SPECIAL incentive for the next two weeks: Sign up a friend or family member, and if they place a vegetable order over $15 (approximately 4-5 items) and you will receive a FREE 1kg bunch of Old 99 Heritage Rhubarb!
Sign up two friends or family members and you receive a 1kg bunch of Rhubarb AND 10% off your order. (This is only qualifiable for vegetables and greens purchases, not eggs or meats)

A good selection of veggies this week; spinach, green chard, a very delicious buttercrunch lettuce, red kale, turnips (greens on), rhubarb, mint, fennel tops, wild foraged Nettle leaf, black currant leaves (see links below for more information), and a few others – please feel free to browse the market.
Also available are Heartnut Tree seedlings, Paw Paw tree seedlings and thornless Black Berry transplants. Please feel free to come during market times to browse the selection of tree and berry seedlings.

Please remember to place your order before 7am Thursday. Orders placed after this time may not be processed.
Market hours are Thursdays & Fridays from 4pm to 6pm.

Thank you to all who came last week, we look forward to seeing you all again this week. Don’t forget about the bring a friend/family member incentive the next two weeks.

Be well,
Nick & Angela
Ian & Cami
