Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Aug 7 2017
Just a reminder the day before our market day here at O99.
All the same increasing choice of veggies as last week, and meats, eggs, some berries (blackberry, currants and aronia)
Cami and I took 2 yr old laying hens to the butcher on wed and now have 50 stewing hens in the freezer, avg weight about 2lb. Special this week, 10% off.
Fresh flock of laying hens will take a week or two to settle in and get up to full production.
Links to climate issue:
Why do we humans have such capacity for denial of reality? where it’s abrupt climate change, speeding, smoking, or just eating too much? Here’s a theory, less than 10 years old and what to do about it in our own situations. Dr Ajit Varki at UCal San Diego
And here is update on species extinction, (which matters to all of us because all of nature is an interconnected web of life). Extinction Event Gains Momentum
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
PS see the Local Food Summit, an on-line event from aug 6 to 16, free, 50 speakers, podcasts, good links to how local food production (that would be including your own backyard!) is very important.

This Week
This time of year the farmers are starting to make room for fall crops which means summer crops are coming to an end and being harvested. I usually issue a warning that nearly all of the favorite summer veggies are about to be in short supply. Once it gets really hot for long stretches, many plants just shut down flower production, and without flowers, there are no fruit. So, when the hot still days of August roll around there is often a sudden decline in tomatoes, beans, squash, peppers, and pretty much everything but okra. This year, though, we might be ok. It’s not been particularly hot, and there has been just enough rain to keep things from getting too dry. We’ll be pushing 100 degrees in the weeks ahead, no doubt, but we’re also likely to see scattered showers. If we stay lucky and the trend holds for a few more weeks, the bounty we have now just might be with us right into fall.
Sweet Pea will be out of town for the entire month of August. Have fun in Pompeii, Mel, we’ll miss all your wonderful veggies!
Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon Doug should just about be finished fishing in Alaska so we expect to receive a new delivery of Salmon around mid September.
Ancient Awakenings is listing this week.
Carrell Farms & Buffalo Gal is delivering this Saturday. For those of you that have pre-ordered, your items will be delivered this Saturday. You may also order from Carrell Farms and Buffalo Gal this week and pick up this Saturday.
Indian Creek Angus will be in town this Saturday and is available to make another delivery to us. If you missed ordering from them last week, you can order from them this week for Saturday pick up.
