Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 11 2023
Your weekly reminder of good nutritious locally grown food from Old 99.
Lots of variety this week, with new plantings of lettuce, chard, brassicas, etc. We still have assorted tomatoes, esp yellow cherry toms and peppers. Our tree fruit varieties of pawpaws, Asian pears and apples are still available.
The subscription plan “Let Me Be Your Farmer” is up and running. A friend asked me to clarify. You estimate what your family would buy in a 3 month period, total for fruit, veg, meat, dairy. You estimate how much of that you could commit to buying here at Old 99. Say half. So if your family buys $3000 in a quarter, half of that is $1500. Pay in advance for 3 months purchases of veg, fruit, eggs, meats and anything you buy from Old99, and get 10% discount plus special surprises. Still order a la carte. The farm benefits from a more secure customer commitment and has cashflow to buy inputs like seed and nutrient. You get the choicest items for your basket, a la carte. Typically I’d expect $1500 to $2000 per quarter. Or just pick a value to pay forward, and we deduct actual purchases from your subscription.

Martin's Farmstand: Farmstand is open Late fall bounty
The farmstand is open and still full of late fall bounty. Carrots, beets, cabbage, potatoes, onions, garlic, kale, spinach, apples, brussel sprouts, leeks, winter squash and much more. The bulk food room is stocked with spices and baking supplies etc. Come and get it! Fall hours (till Thanksgiving) Tuesday-saturday noon till 5 pm. December 1-23 open Friday and Saturday afternoons noon-5 pm. After new year till spring we plan to be open Saturday afternoons (weather permitting.) The fall storage crops yielded well as a whole so we are going into winter with a nicely balanced selection of winter veggies so I anticipate good selection well into the winter. Spinach and kale will last till it gets real cold. Daniel
