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.
Week of February 12th 2024
Hello friends of Old 99 and Equilibrium Acres,
Can you believe the mild weather we’re having has held on this long. Between that and increasingly longer days I’m almost fooled into thinking winter’s over. It’s been great to be able to work outside comfortably and keep preparing for the coming season.
We’ll be starting seeds in the Hobbit House this week as well as micro greens for the next few weeks of the CSA.
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.
