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 June 24th
Greetings,
I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and happy.
We’re in the second week of 11 of Summer veggie CSA Season, you can sign up at any time at a pro-rated cost or order one offs as well as a la carte.
Our black currants are ripening nicely and are open for pick your own, kindly reach out to make an appointment if you are interested in picking them.
We’re still harvesting Garlic Scapes and we’ve got lots if you want them, they’re great for making pesto and using as a garlic clove alternative with a fresh and sharp flavour that’s in season. If you’re looking for more traditional garlic we have frozen minced garlic, and frozen garlic confit, as well as ground freeze dried garlic scape powder.
We had our first ripe tomato yesterday, so expect to have enough to add to the CSA and store in the next couple of weeks.
We have also re-stocked our ground beef, get it while it lasts, in time for summer BBQ season.
We’re holding interviews for our summer student position at the farm, if you know anyone under 30 that’s interested and looking for experience in organic sustainable farming please put them in touch with us.
