Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Mar 7th 2015

Our new road sign, with removeable plaques for what is available in the store. Nice job and thanks to Jesse and Kazlyn.

I saw the first robins today, the grass is greening up and weather trend says no freezing for next two weeks. Could be a setup for early buds on fruit trees getting started too early and then a frost kills them. sigh… climate disruption is hard.

If thursday market time is not convenient this week, let me know, place the order and I’ll pick and leave for you in the cooler in the store.

Special this week is ground beef, 10% off.

I took 5 lambs to the butcher this week so fresh lamb for Easter is an option. If you want special cuts let me know by Sunday. Am offering advance ordering for pork sides. We’re doing kabobs again, they were popular last time we did it in 2014.

Egg prices reduced to $6.00 for XL, $5.50 for Large. Getting lots of duck eggs now too.

Chicken broth will be a regular offering for the spring.

As of Mar 7th , we can offer the following crops: sweet potato, chard, collards, cilantro, kale, spaghetti and turban squash, purple potatoes and new crop of arugula and spinach.

Family Food Freedom Rally March 16 in Newmarket update. Buses are bringing people from London Stratford, Guelph, Toronto to the courthouse in Newmarket. We’ve got two cars going from Hamilton. This is about your right to eat healthy food as you see fit, such as raw milk.

MARCH 16, 2016 | Rally @ 8:30am | Hearing @ 9:30am
Ontario Court of Justice, 50 Eagle Street West, Newmarket
(south-west corner of Yonge St. & Eagle St. W.)
Who decides and controls what you eat and drink?
Not you apparently. The government has decided that raw milk is so dangerous that it must “protect” you by stopping the flow at the source – your farmer.

After 22 years of raids and harassment on Glencolton Farms, the government has just crossed the line. They intend to shut down ALL raw milk producers in Ontario.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Regional Municipality of York have issued Notices of Application for a court injunction against Michael Schmidt, his wife and son, members of the farm co-operative, another person, John Doe, Jane Doe and Persons Unknown, and the Church of the Christian Community in Canada.
They were accused of contravening the provincial Milk Act, and the Health Protection and Promotion Act. They’re being told to stop selling and distributing raw milk. The church allowed the Glencolton van to use its parking lot.

Unite and defend your freedom to choose what foods you consume.
It’s NOT a done deal. We have to make it clear that we will not be intimidated.
If you can spare the morning of Mar 16, please join us. We’ll be back by 1pm.

Healthy Eating
Ian, Cami and Kazlyn

Jonesborough Locally Grown:  New Community Garden!

Please help spread the word about Jonesborough’s new community garden!

The Town of Jonesborough’s Parks and Recreation Department is offering both new and experienced gardeners a chance to participate in the Jonesborough Community Garden for the 2016 planting season.

The garden is located off of Hillrise Drive in Jonesborough and space is available on a first come, first serve basis. The land is being offered for use to the public through a shared partnership between the Town and local resident, Jim Eldridge.

There are 24, 4’ x 8’ raised beds available for use by the public for a low fee of $20/year to cover the cost of water usage. Applications are available by e-mailing

rachelc@jonesboroughtn.org.

In addition to offering residents the opportunity to grow their own vegetables, the community garden is also providing an avenue for residents to grow vegetables for our local food bank, Jonesborough Food Pantry. Any extra produce from gardens will be donated directly to The Jonesborough Food Pantry, which is supported by the Jonesborough Area Ministerial Association.

Funding for the community garden was provided through a grant from the Tennessee Recreation and Parks Association. If you would like to participate by renting a space for the year, or if you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Rachel Conger,

423.791.3869 or rachelc@jonesboroughtn.org.
