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.
Old99 Farm, week of Sept 3 2023
It’s going to be a hot week! maybe even hottest of the summer.
This is our weekly reminder of all the farm fresh crops we have available now.
We have garlic which you may wish to purchase in bulk, 5 or 10 lbs. There’s about 8 to 10 bulbs in a pound. Price is $10 per pound.
Let me be your farmer! People are gradually signing up for our new program called Your Farmer for A Year". You commit to a support of fruit, veg, meat, eggs and __ and get first choice of our limited crops. Your family gets a large portion of its nutrition from Old99, clean, fresh, chemical free, organic, animal friendly and soil friendly. What’s not to like about that? You put an amount on deposit in advance per quarter, based on your family’s budget. Might be $1000 to $2000. And you get a 10% discount or 10% more for your money.
