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 24 January 2021
Did you know that the store bought produce and meats boughten weekly that come from warmer climates carry a carbon footprint equal to driving your car non stop for 4 months? Look at how many people shop on a weekly basis – pretty scary when we add all that up.
When you buy produce, and meat from Old 99 Farm the carbon footprint is greatly reduced due to the simple fact that its picked fresh, not shipped anywhere, not refrigerated in massive coolers and very little fossil fuels are used to plant, maintain and pick it all.
When you buy from the farm, you help the environment and its a win-win for everyone.
Available this week – frilly green kale, Swiss chard, collard greens, spinach, arugula, health kick salad, our super sweet carrots, delicious squash and a few other favorites. Check out the product list to see what is available this week!
Plenty of beef, pork and chicken available as well.
The ground beef has been flying out the doors, get yours before its all gone! Great for meat balls, pasta sauces, stuffed peppers, meatloaf, stroganoff, sausage patties, Salisbury steak or the classic favourite char-broiled hamburgers.
Please place your order before 11am Thursday. Orders placed after thus time may not be processed.
Order pickup times are Thursday and Friday from 4PM to 6PM.
We thank you all for your continued patronage and support of the farm.
Be well friends,
Nick & Angela
