Saturday's market

The Oconee County Farmers Market was fantastic last week. You should go this week as well or check it out at Eagle Tavern Saturday morning. Here is the latest from the organizer Debbie Beese.

Woven brightly,
Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.



Hi Everyone,
 
Hope you're having a good week and enjoying this cool weather while it lasts!  We love the rain, but the cool nights and not quite as warm days as you would expect this time of year are slowing down some of our produce from the northern part of the state (like MaryAnn Simmons) and also locally.  We can't complain at this point though since we need the rain so much!
 
This week however, we will feature cilantro, sugar snap peas, carrots, radishes, lemon balm, sorrel, sage, oregano, Cuban guava pastries, a variety of perennials, including ferns, heuchera and hellebores, (happy to deliver locally is the word from Mary King at Acme Plants), and chocolate, buttermilk, and rum cake.  Come early, produce went especially fast last week!
 
In the mean time, please hang in there with us and you won't be disappointed!  We have several new vendors that have contacted me the past two weeks, and the regulars will be back, too.
 
On another note, Jamie Swedberg, one of our vendors, made the coffee from fresh ground beans last week, and we got so many compliments, we're going to do it every week!  Something else we hope all you coffee lovers look forward to every week.
 
Thank you for your patronage - looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.
 
Debbie

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
