Hello all!  

As many of you already may know - this week marks our second week featuring our Grass Fed Piedmontese Beef!  We are thrilled to be receiving enticing and delectable reports from those who have tried the Piedmontese.  

"Wonderful.  Great flavor, tender, beautiful meat.  Can't wait to try the other cuts I purchased!" - one very satisfied customer, Watkinsville

This week we will be at the Thursday Central Bishop Market from 4-7 pm and the Saturday Oconee Farmers Market from 8 am - 1 pm.  Stop on by to try out the amazing new beef!  

Read on to learn more or see the attached brochure!

A special offering.

This week, we put our best "food" forward and class up your burgers with Piedmontese beef and a delicious recipe inspired by "Food 52"...

PEAR & SAGE BURGERS

This recipe combines succulent summer pears & the fragrant, earthy essence of sage all in one luscious and tasteful burger - great for entertaining guests or simple self indulgence.

So, this week stop by our market table to give your burgers some "pear-sonality" and pick up the primary ingredients and the recipe for $12!

This package includes: 1 recipe, 1 lb Piedmontese ground beef, 2 pears, sprigs of sage, a scattering of dried cranberries, and honey from our friends at Covenant Valley Farm!

THE BEEF.

An extraordinary, Italian heritage breed...

The only breed known to carry the "double muscling" gene - a gene that would make even Hulk Hogan balk.

Besides shaping a magnificent animal -  this gene also creates a beef containing LESS cholesterol and fat than poultry (we're talking leaner than skinless chicken breast!) while preserving an unparalleled tenderness and flavor.  Personally speaking, the sirloin alone is comparatively tender to any filet I've had from any other breed. 

Whether heart health conscious or not - this beef is an excellent low cholesterol meat without sacrificing tenderness and flavor.

Furthermore it is a rare and valuable breed with a fascinating history- one whose migration to the Piedmont of Northwest Italy can be directly traced all the way back to the Late Stone Age.  25,000 years ago - when giant sloths and large saber toothed cats roamed.  

Fast forward to today, nestled in the lush rolling hills of the Italian Piedmont, a small and discerning association of farmers preserve one of the most pure and ancient bloodlines of modern cattle.  For the sake of posterity, these farmers maintain tight control over this breed - resulting in the rarity of this beef outside of northern Italy.

And so - from the Piedmont of Italy to the Piedmont of Georgia - we bring you "a cut above the rest" Grass Fed Piedmontese Beef from our very own, certified, Piedmontese sire - Al.  It is some of healthiest, most tender, succulent meat you can find!

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...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
