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 1 November 2020
“We cooked the Cross Rib roast we bought last week and it was the best beef we’ve ever tasted. So much flavour and it made great sandwiches for work the next day. We will definitely be coming back for more!”
“We did up those pork chops on the BBQ for Sunday dinner. They were so flavourful and moist! How did you guys do that? By far the best pork I’ve ever had!”
Hey folks. Have you tried our pasture raised, grass fed beef and pork yet? The quotes above are from two of our new customers who did recently.
We also have plenty of veggies available like kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, tropeana onions, bulb onions, health kick salad mix, choi sum, beets, turnips, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, carrots and much more! Also available are our delicious free range eggs (white and brown mixed) that we get too many compliments about to list here. You will have to try them for yourself to taste the difference! And yes, the white eggs are exactly the same as the brown eggs. They all live together, eat the same food and scratch the same dirt for bugs and worms.
We also have plenty of pastured chicken available in whole, halves and quarters which are perfect for any size family or feast.
Grass and hay fed rabbits are now available, please check quantities in the market. If you’re wondering how to cook rabbit or what it tastes like; think of chicken. Yes, rabbit has very similar texture to chicken with a lighter, more delicate taste and significantly less fat and cholesterol. Any recipe for chicken is totally interchangeable with rabbit. Cooking temperature and times are the same and will result in a meal sure to please everyone.
Please remember to place your order BEFORE 7 AM Thursday morning. Orders placed after this time may not be processed.
Market pickup times are Thursday and Friday from 3PM to 6PM.
Special arrangements for pickup can be made for Saturday; please contact Nick at 519-755-0577 to arrange a time.
Thank you all for supporting your local organic farm. We look forward to seeing everyone again this week.
Be well,
Nick & Angela
