Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Sept 10 2023
Here’s what the harvest table looked like last week:
Here’s a customer’s CSA basket.
We’ve got some super fennel bulbs this week. Haven’t cooked with fennel? You can slice like an onion and eat it raw. You can steam it whole or sliced as a vegetable. The fronds make a nice garnish or topping on a salad.
The new season crops are going in, some already to the harvestable size, like young kale, lettuce and arugula.
The subscription plan “Let Me Be Your Farmer” is up and running. Pay in advance for 3 months purchases of veg, fruit, eggs, meats and ___, and get 10% off. 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.
Sign up with an email to me. old99farm2015@gmail.com
Summer Harvest Baskets: Some of you paid by installment so we’re at the mid-point, next time please plan on paying the second half, 10 weeks at $32. Thank you.
What we have now: arugula, apples, blackberries, celery, frilly kale, Nero kale, Rainbow chard, Tokyo Bekana, chinese cabbage, beets, bell peppers, sweet bulb onions, fennel, garlic, baby lettuce mix, baby buttercrunch lettuce, rhubarb, carrots, collards, cabbage collards, leeks, basil and herbs.
Surf to the online store "here:www.old99farm.locallygrown.net to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement. *
Healthy eating,

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market: This Week at the Market
Have you seen that forecast? We’ve got 70’s as the highs towards the end of this week! I’m so excited for that as the heat has really been brutal for working outside! I still have lots of work to do to remove summer plants and prepare to plant fall plants. Thankfully, the greenhouse has maintained a good growing temp for all our seeds. We’ve got lots of squash varieties – buttercup, butternut, delicata, zucchini, and patty pan, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, bok choy, spinach, kale, chard, and lots of lettuce varieties. We should have lots of fresh goodness to keep us going through the chilly months.
This week, we have Jennifer’s new batches of soaps – a few with goat’s milk as requested. Check out her page here:

We will be refilling the apple baskets again this week and transitioning to fall baking and recipes. Also, we’re bringing back our full soup options of 4 per week.
We have added a preorder for an advent calendar that will become a family heirloom to cherish and hand down. Mine is over 50 years old and goes out every year on December 1st! Handcrafted by my Nana, it was sold in her church group Christmas Bazaar. Order and pay a minimum of 50% now and it will be ready for pick up by Thanksgiving when the balance will be due.
Have a wonderful week!

These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Brassell’s Sprouts Market: Reusable Bags
Thank you all so much for supporting Brassell’s Sprouts and your local growers.
Tomorrow is pick up day, and I am needing to make an adjustment. Instead of picking up your order in boxes, I am asking that all customers please bring a reusable grocery bag. I will have your order ready and bundled in a crate, and will help you load your bag.
I will have plastic grocery sacks available for those who do not have a reusable bag.
Thank you again!!
