Champaign, OH:  Thanksgiving Treat


Arlo Guthrie
This song is called Alice’s Restaurant
It’s about Alice
And a restaurant
But Alice’s Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant
That’s just the name of the song
And that’s why I call the song Alice’s Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant
Walk right in it’s around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
And you can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago
Was on two years ago on Thanksgiving
When my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the restaurant
But, Alice doesn’t live in the restaurant
She lives in the church nearby the restaurant in the bell tower
With her husband Ray, and Fasha the dog…
(Alice’s Restaurant-Arlo Guthrie)

One of my oldest Thanksgiving traditions is to watch this on Thanksgiving eve, while listening to it, tomorrow, at noon, before family and guests arrive.

As a treat to our market customers, I am opening the market a day early, for your ordering pleasure.

I know it’s going to be crazy days, from here on out, and this little local market is here for all that you may need!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Happy Thanksgiving!

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 20 2023


reminder to all fav and loyal supporters of local food, we’re here! Lots of choice veggies still growing.

It’s early Wed morning, midnite actually and I’ve been attending the Canadian Organic Alliance’s conference in Ottawa. I’m very positive about their plans for actively lobbying the feds to make Organic more visible and relevant to consumers, urban and rural alike. Organic methods of producing food have tangible benefits for soil health, air and water quality, and of course human nutrition. You’ll hear more in the weeks ahead.

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 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.
Sign up with an email to me. old99farm2015@gmail.com

The winter Harvest Basket cycle starts next week: sign up for 10 weeks for $320 for 8 vegetables and a dozen eggs.

What we have now: arugula, sweet potato, brocoli, celeriac, frilly kale, Nero kale, Rainbow chard, Tokyo Bekana (a succulent chinese cabbage), beets, bell peppers, sweet bulb onions, fennel, garlic, baby lettuce mix, mizuna greens, buttercrunch lettuce, potatoes, rhubarb, carrots, collards, cabbage collards, leeks, basil and herbs. And a few figs! We have some farm pressed apple cider, not alco, from our cider day a couple weeks ago. Adam is firing up his freeze-drier unit to prepare freeze-dried tomatoes.

Surf to the online store here to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement. *

Healthy eating,
Ian, Cami and Adam

Martin's Farmstand:  Farmstand is Open Today


The farmstand is open today and tommorow, (Tuesday and Wednesday Nov 21,22, 2023). While the selection is smaller than it was there is still all sorts of farm fresh food to nourish you and your families. In addition to all the root crops such as onions, beets and carrots there are still spinach, kale, napa and regular cabbage, leeks, brussel sprouts, apples etc. I plan to set up a free table to move some excess items that need to be used. On this table will be various kinds of hot peppers along with spagetti and festival squash and cull onions. There may be other things as well. There will be no limits as to how much you can take- the goal is to get this stuff used rather than composted.

The stand will reopen again on Friday December 1st. December hours are Friday and Saturday afternoons noon- 5 pm. Closed Christmas week. After New Year till spring open times are Saturday afternoons. Daniel
