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 Sept 24 2023
We’re moving hay indoors this friday and saturday. Can you lend a hand for an hour or two? Friday starting 11am, Saturday depending on progress.
Here’s our display of last week’s harvest; over 20 different veggies and fruits.
So needless to say, Adam and I are quite proud of the bounty. Come get your health boosting organic food here.
The subscription plan “Let Me Be Your Farmer” is up and running. Pay in advance for 3 months purchases of veg, fruit, eggs, meats and anything you buy from Old99, and get 10% discount plus special surprises. Still order a la carte. The farm benefits from a more secure customer commitment and has cashflow to buy inputs like seed and nutrient. You get the choicest items for your basket, a la carte. Typically I’d expect $1500 to $2000 per quarter.
