Apple Cider Day this s unday Oct

We’ve decided to hold a cider making day again this year. It’s a family affair, everybody gets to mash some apples and load the press. Start time 2pm till about 5pm. Weather looks a little iffy with rain forecast for saturday and maybe sunday. Please RSVP to old99farm2015@gmail.com if you plan to come. Bring a jug or two for your take home cider.

Our pawpaws tree fruit is ripe! Tis a bountiful harvest that won’t last long. What’s a pawpaw you say? A fruit the size of a small pear, with green skin and yellow custard-like flesh. It tastes like a cross between banana and mango. Very pleasant. You cut the fruit in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon: so it comes in its own cup!

Asian Pears are also ripe, a crunchy sweet fruit like an apple with a flavour of it’s own.

We rendered lard this week, so if you’re looking for organic lard for fries or baking, now is the time. 400ml tubs or 1 L jars. Price is $1/100ml. I price it that way because the jars are different sizes.

Keep well, remember “pay your farmer now or your pharmacist later”. Eat well, stay healthy, stay disease free.

We had a wonderful Equinox celebration on Saturday last. Great weather, lots of help getting set up from friends and family. The resource people for Climate Action ideas turned out fantastic, really got the conversations buzzing. The pulled pork, coleslaw and tomato salad by Cami and from all O’99 ingredients were eaten with gusto. So was my O’99 icecream! We danced till 10 to the music of The Rewynds.

We have sunflower blooms and sunchoke blossoms for sale. see the listings this week.
Anyone looking for a half pig dressed and wrapped for your freezer? Please give me the heads up. Same for a quarter beef as we have animals ready for the butcher.

With those pastured animals going in why not pick up everything else you need for a meal or your weekly groceries. We have potatoes, turnips, beets, a large variety of greens, lettuces, tomatoes, eggplants, tree fruits and so much more! Be sure to check out the market for all the amazing selections.
