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.
Old 99 Farm week of Apr 30 and metabolic syndrome
It’s wednesday evening, almost not relevant to send a reminder to y’all about our fresh picked veggies, which now includes rhubarb and asparagus.
Suffice to say, there’s 20 different greens, for cooking and salads, lots of flavours.
Surf to the online store here to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement.
But more interesting, you should really have a listen to this kitchen table explanation by Dr Robert Lustig (UCLA credentials) on metabolic disorder. What’s that? That’s the precusor to adult onset diabetes, kidney disorder, overweightness, and much more. It’s about the food we eat or rather, don’t eat.

Dr. Robert Lustig joins Nate Hagens to dive into the metabolism of the micro level of human systems – the humans ourselves. Over the last century, accompanying the transformation of our energy systems, our food and consumption patterns have been massively transformed. One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating?
Eat healthy,
Ian and Cami
