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 11 October 2020
Growing meats and vegetables with organic and sustainable ways greatly reduces the carbon footprint of the farm and the products we offer. It also creates healthy nutrient dense vegetables and higher quality meats than conventional agriculture.
We have a good selection this week of beef,pork,chicken and rabbit. We also have sausages made by J. Waldron Butchers available in mild and hot Italian style. We had some on Friday and they are a MUST to serve at your next BBQ meal. Also available is new crop carrots, collard greens, health kick salad, tropeana onions, green frilly kale, red russian kale, chicory, potatoes, squash and many more.
*A Bee Note: the hives have produced well and we have plenty of honey available. If you would like sizes larger than 500ml jar please leave comment in the notes section of your order.
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? Former Cumbreae’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. A great educational experience for the whole family!

Here is a recent testimonial received from a new a customer: “We had the roast beef last week and it was delicious! Fantastic flavor and left overs were great! My wife and daughter made cabbage rolls today with the ground pork and beef. They were outstanding too. I remember when my mother made them and these are just as memorable.”
We look forward to seeing everyone again this week.
Be well,
Nick & Angela
