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 August 30 2020
Hey there folks! It’s been an exciting and busy time at the farm as we prepare for fall. Plenty of health kick salad has been planted as well as Swiss chard and collard greens; a winter favourite.
A wide array of veggies available this week: white princess eggplant, jalapeño peppers, serrano peppers, ho chi minh cayenne peppers, red and green frilly kale (NEW LOWER PRICE), collard greens, green cabbage, golden beets, baby carrots, tropeana onions and fennel.
I’m expecting to have rabbits available this week as well. Please check availability in product listing.
We have two whole beeves in the freezer, halves and quarters available along with plenty of select cuts. Pork, stewing hens and roasting chickens all available.
Some amazing grass fed beef is always a pleaser at dinner time.
AVAILABLE IN STORE ONLY
Ghost peppers, green zebra tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, indigo rose tomatoes, raw local honey.
SPECIAL THIS WEEK*******
Roaster chickens – buy TWO whole chickens and get a HALF chicken free! !
We are short on egg cartons, if everyone could rally with neighbours and family and save them for us that would be wonderful. Please remember to return your green plastic produce baskets as well.
Order deadline is 6PM Wednesday. Any orders placed after this time may not be processed. Market hours are Thursday & Friday 3PM-6PM.
We look forward to seeing everyone again this week and greatly appreciate your business. Have a great week everyone!
