This Week
Cultured Traditions is listed this week.
Indian Creek Angus next delivery is March 1. They will continue listing their available cuts and you can order and prepay anytime throughout the month until their delivery date.
Crave Pie Studio is out of town for the next two weeks.
This week, I’d like to remind you about a feature of the website that you may have missed. The system records every time a grower takes something off your order by adding a note to the comment section of the order. Sometimes they’ll also email you in person, but not always. Additionally, the system records when we put an item in your basket or bag, and how you paid. If something turns up missing because the grower didn’t bring it, or if we later discover a bag with your name on it (usually because we accidentally gave you someone else’s), it’ll record that too. We automatically issue refunds for items you paid for but didn’t receive (and you’ll get an automated email each time), and that gets recorded also. You can see all these notes and details about your order by pulling it up in your order history and clicking the link for the PDF Invoice.
If you want to double-check our packing as we hand you your order, you can print out that invoice and bring it with you or load it up on your smart phone. There’s nothing wrong with that, and we welcome your diligence.
If you have entered your credit card into our system, we do not run those cards until after pickups close on Saturday evening, and the total charged to your card reflects any adjustments that had to get made along the way. If there is any question, the PDF has an item by item accounting of everything you received and was charged for, so we can go back over that at any time.
If you’ve ordered something one week and want to order it again, but can’t quite remember what it was called or who sold it, there’s a simpler version of your order history right on the market page. If you never use it, you can hide it, but what makes it really useful is the items you ordered previously will have an “add to cart” link right next to them if they are currently being offered for sale again. If you like to buy the same things each week, it can really speed up your shopping time.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Feb 12 2017
We had a misfortunate event last week, the upright freezer failed; I found it on Friday with most of the poultry semithawed with some still mostly frozen. I know people think you can’t refreeze meats but these birds fine. I have lowered the price by about half for several turkeys geese and ducks and about 15 stew hens.
The root cellar is doing a good job keeping the potatoes and carrots firm and minimal sprouting only on carrots.
We have 5 lambs in the freezer, ranging from 35 to 50lb of meat each. Also still lots of pork and chicken. Eggs are in good supply.
Do any of you remember reading books on spiritual teachings, buddhism and peace activism by Joanna Macy? She’s still going strong at 87, coming out of retirement to engage people on climate disruption. Here’s an interview with her. I clipped some key ideas for you:
“Given how things were when we spoke in the summer of 2014, it’s difficult to believe it is this much worse in such a short time, yet here we are. From your perspective, how has this not caused more people to wake up and take a stand?”
" So the weakening of the mind, through the reasons I’ve given, and the culture bred on competition, command and control, power over…"
“have bled people of the nerve to challenge the absurdity or criminality of the larger systems. This makes it very easy for people to allow themselves to be lied to and to be bought. There is the fright induced by finding yourself essentially alone.”
“When people find that they can, and want to, feel and know and tell what is happening to our world, that is so much sweeter and [more] liberating than the opposite. When people get integrated and find how good it feels, then they really want that more than the narcotic of ignorance and delusion, as painful as it is.”
“It’s hard to wake up alone now. It’s scary to see even what is going on. But there is almost no limit, I’ve come to believe, to what we can do with the love and support of each other. There is almost no limit to what we can do for the sake of each other. "
“So it’ll be different for different individuals. But I think we should not make a move to do things alone. Find others. Even if it’s one other person to begin with. Then others will come. Because everybody is lonely. And everybody is ready to find what they most want. And if it means that we have to be in such danger for us to find out how much we need each other, then let it be that.”
