Old99Farm Market:  Week of February 5th 2024


Hello friends of Old 99 and Equilibrium Acres,

I hope that you and your loved ones are well and enjoying this spring like weather while we have it. Here at the farm we’re making the most of it by getting some field work done ahead of the coming season, clearing some remaining beds, tarping garden blocks to suppress grass and kill weeds in anticipation of planting in the spring, as well as mowing the asparagus patch.

Today marks the first 10 hour day of the year, this means that the plants are going to come out of dormancy and start growing again, very exciting!
This means that the lettuce that we have in the greenhouse as well as the mache in the new hoop house are going to start growing at a faster pace.
We’ll include some mache in this week’s CSA box and have added it to the store. We still have other cold hardy greens from our greenhouse, and storage crops including many potato varieties.

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.

Available this week in the store, asterisks demarcate items in this weeks CSA box:

Arugula, Roquette

Garlic*
Herbs: Sage
Kale: Curly*, Red Russian

Champaign, OH:  That Monday Morning Mania!


Good morning, and here we are, right at the start of a Monday morning…the new week, the frantic pace, the overload of thoughts for the week…

Now, imagine you, calmly ordering all the goodness from the market, at your leisure. Having all of the items you may need, all ordered, and ready for a Thursday pick up…sounds dreamy, right?

Also, Super Bowl Sunday is upon us, and you may need extra items for that evening, so Thursday would be the perfect time to pick those up, as well…

This calmness is not a Monday dream…it’s a market reality…the products, the vendors, the amazing feeling of keeping it all local, and you, not fighting the big box shopping madness…

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
I’d build a road in gold
Just to have some dreaming…
(Dreaming-Blondie)

I even threw in a song implant to take you on your way to a dreamy Monday…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
