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 14th 2020


Good day local food lovers! Our Summer Solstice is fast approaching and that means plenty of fresh vegetables and greens from many local farms including Old 99 Farm. This week I will have Choy sum,shuidong mustard greens, red kale, collard greens, cabbage leaves, health kick salad greens, beets as well as Principie Borghese tomato transplants (sun dried tomato variety) and green cayenne pepper transplants available.

Eggs are in abundance and we really appreciate all the orders coming in for our fresh pastured eggs.

Pork on special this week: 10% off all cuts. There is also plenty of beef and pork available for your barbecue or your smoker for these beautiful summer days were having. Check out the recipe section for a few new recipes and twist on some of your old favourites like pickled eggs pickled beets and a classic southern coleslaw but only has five ingredients.

Ordering deadline is Wednesday at midnight please remember to place your order before this time as it makes it easier to harvest and keep your produce fresh. Pickup times are Thursdays and Fridays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. please remember to bring back your egg cartons, as well the bags your produce comes in can be reused or recycled has number 4 plastic.

We truly appreciate your loyalty to the farm into the environment by continuing to shop local. We look forward to seeing you this weekend and we hope you have an amazing week.

A bee note: the new Hive here at the farm is doing great, with The Beekeeper having to add a few new frames each week to make more room. Please remember to refrain from spraying any chemicals on your lawn or garden to keep our pollinators alive and thriving. Thank you from the bees :)

Be well,
Nick & Angela
