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.

Available this week we have new crop baby carrots, white princess eggplant, health kick salad, spinach, collard greens, green frilly kale, red russian kale, chicory, a few bags of frozen black currants and Aronia berries left.
We have two hogs back from butcher this week and now have plenty of select cuts (check availability in product list).
Plenty of beef and chicken also avaialvle.

SPECIAL THIS WEEK

Pork Butchering Workshop
Would you like to see your side cut up just the way you want it? Or learn what cut comes from which part of the animal? Ex-Cumbreaeā€™s butcher Jamie Waldron will conduct a butchering workshop here at the farm in October. First four families get their meat to take home ($5.50/lb). Cost of workshop is $50.00. Register in The Market. Date to be determined. Small group, social distancing in effect.

Please remember to place your order before 9pm Wednesday. Orders place after this time may not be processed. Market times are Thursday and Friday from 3PM to 6PM.
If everyone could bring egg cartons for us that would be great.

We look forward to seeing everyone again this week.

Be well,
Nick & Angela
