Old 99 Farm, week of Apr 7 2024

Adam’s taking a week off from the veg market so I’m pinch-hitting.
We have first of the season rhubarb, started under plastic in the dark. Its leaves are bright yellow and the stems are dayglo pink/red. Really gorgeous.

In addition the laying hens are really enjoying outside runways and laying tons of eggs. We’ll put them on special for a week, three doz for price of two. If you are new egg customer you get even better offer: three for one!!! (not bought Old 99 eggs in the last year)

What veggies are growing here you ask?
We have kale, chard, mixed greens, arugula, claytonia, lettuce, mache, and spinach. From storage we have garlic and frozen minced garlic paste. Also dried hot peppers.

Adam is pressing on with seeding flats of crops for later transplanting. Here’s a photo showing his handiwork.
