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.

And you get to enjoy the new crops coming in as part of the Summer Harvest Basket. It makes easy what fresh vegetables to have on your table each week. Summer session starts week of June 13, cost is $31.95 per week, weekly or biweekly. Delivery option new this season if you live within 10k of the farm.
Pls use old99farm to order. You can pick up any time after 4pm thursday. Oh heck, if it’s a favour I’ll go pick for you right now! It helps to put a note in the order form when you would like to pick up so I can have it boxed in the cooler for you.
Tokyo Bekana is a lettuce like mustard green. It has a stem (aka petiole) like a romaine so it’s good for dipping, nice and crunchy/juicy too. The leaf is soft and mild, sweeter than lettuce. You can substitute if for lettuce in any salad or wraps. Here’s a site for recipes.
Healthy eating,
Ian, Cami, Kenzi
