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.

Have you ever wondered if free run pastured chicken eggs are really better nutritionally? (we can all agree they taste better but what about omega6/omega3 ratio etc. Read here on Dr Malone’s substack for his investigation.
“…the truth is that small farms and “backyard” (at least from those hens that have access to pasture and better food) chicken eggs are healthier. Recent peer review papers support this.”
Healthy eating,
Adam, Ian and Cami
