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 July 12 2020
Hello folks. We are in full swing season as mid July approaches. Lots of kale, early summer cabbage perfect for your first batch of sauerkraut. Green onions, collard greens and much more. Lots of our ever popular pasture raised beef, chicken and pork available and plenty of eggs.
Also available this week:
- Currants u-pick now open. Black currants, the kind used to make the ribena cordial drinks. Pre picked also available.
- Raspberries u-pick now open.
- Mulberries are a deliciously sweet fruit, very tender, that we have never offered for u-pick. The crop is bountiful this year so I thought we’d offer it. Mulberries grow on trees so most fruit needs a ladder (at your own risk!) We provide you the ladder. Same price at currants, Cami and I picked 5L in an hour last week.
Order deadline is 5 PM Wednesday.
Pickup times are Thursday and Friday 3 PM to 6 PM.
We look forward to seeing you all again this week. Have a great week!
Be well, eat well,
Nick & Angela
