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.

Meet Tina Owens. With a career’s experience in the food industry, she is one of our foremost translators of how the system works so that those of us who want to engage know the rules of the road.
