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.
Weblog Entry
We only have gooseberries and currants now ripe for the picking. U-pick and pre-picked. I made 6L of black currant jelly, various jar sizes, with low sugar pectin. Will be available for limited time.
We picked up our new flock of 100 laying hens, 20 week old pullets. They are starting to lay, the small and medium sized will predominate though. Prices are adjusted to be equivalent to XL/dozen.
