Farming as whole new career and lifestyle since 2007. A permaculture student since 2000, when I retired from the business world age 47. A climate emergency advocate since 2014, I call myself a farmer-postdoomer-boomer, downwardly mobile neo-peasant cognescente.

Old 99 is a 29 acre permaculture demonstration site and livestock based mixed farm 5 minutes from the city lights of Hamilton ON. We see ourselves as getting ready for the climate emergency by growing local food and farmers, teaching about food security self-reliance, soil fertility and ecosystem stewardship.
