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 July 16 2023
Berries are on now, have you ever tried currants? Makes a great juice or smoothy.
Also have raspberries, jostaberries now, and soon gooseberries, mulberries, blackberries and aronia berries.
Farm produce is lush and in good shape, few diseases or pests, none really.
