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 Mar 17 2013
This post expired on March 18, 2023.
When I looked at the two week trend a week ago, we were expecting above average highs and lows. But it’s been the opposite and still is looking that way. My notes from prior years show I was expecting fruit tree bloom this week some years. Not this one.
But this has been the week for new life: 5 sets of twin lambs and one calf. I’m learning the lambing business fast! So far have one in the bathroom nursing from a bottle.
Vegetables, much easier to keep track of than lambs. Have some new spinach this week as well as the regulars.
I have organic roasting chickens, about 5lb weights. Place your order with the www.old99farm.locallygrown.net website.
I have had no inquiries about buying kitchen gear, like mincers, grinders, utensils. the www.norpro.com website has lots to look at, but prices aren’t on line; you have to go to a retail site or even ebay to find.
