We are very excited for the changes in the market. Last week we announced the new produce box service but need a minimum of 30 boxes to be able to deliver and we promise you’ll be sorry if you miss out on this amazing organic produce. Order one today and try it out! If we don’t reach our minimum we’ll notify you before charging your order so don’t worry about that.
We’ve also added some new staff to our team and we are in the process of adding some new vendors to bring you more products to choose from.
We hope you are as excited as we are and please feel free to email us with items you’d like us to try and source for the market to make it better for you and everyone else.
Thanks so much,
The Rancho Alegre Market Team

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 13, 2016
We had a delightful weekend with 18 guests learning about natural cheesemaking taught by David Asher of Cortes Is, BC. I hope we can invite him again next year. In the meantime if you want to learn, you can buy his book or contact me for a contact near you who took the course. I have my first rounds of Emmental style alpine cheese in the ripening stage already! Wait six months that’s the hard part.
We have greens, tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in the greenhouse and roots in the garden. Some crops are in storage now: onions, potatoes, garlic, carrots. Please scroll down the attached list to see the full offering.
The beeve went to the butcher this monday and will be ready for you in about two weeks. The pigs are going next monday and should be back a week after that. If you ordered either of these and are reading this, please sent me a note saying so. I have a list but now need confirmation. There are 5 pigs of which 2 are spoken for (Calin, Rachel C, Anne P). I will have a dozen turkeys, 15 geese and 6 ducks ready for the Xmas season, so plan now for yours!
Healthy eating,
Ian Graham and Cami Stoica
