Week of February 5th 2024

Hello friends of Old 99 and Equilibrium Acres,

I hope that you and your loved ones are well and enjoying this spring like weather while we have it. Here at the farm we’re making the most of it by getting some field work done ahead of the coming season, clearing some remaining beds, tarping garden blocks to suppress grass and kill weeds in anticipation of planting in the spring, as well as mowing the asparagus patch.

Today marks the first 10 hour day of the year, this means that the plants are going to come out of dormancy and start growing again, very exciting!
This means that the lettuce that we have in the greenhouse as well as the mache in the new hoop house are going to start growing at a faster pace.
We’ll include some mache in this week’s CSA box and have added it to the store. We still have other cold hardy greens from our greenhouse, and storage crops including many potato varieties.

Farm Baked Fresh Frozen 2lb Sourdough, for which Cami has perfected the recipe is available. Please request this a week in advance, cost is $10 per loaf.

We also have put the stoneground flour mill back in service. Whole wheat (Hard Red Winter wheat) and spelt are available now in 1 and 2.5lb jars.
