Subject: The Pastures of Rose Creek: A Presidential Plate

Greetings folks!  Hope everyone was able to stay nice and warm last week - luckily we Oconee-ans and Athenians skirted the snow-jam that poor, arrested Atlanta experienced.  And this week we come to you with more breaking news from the Piedmont....

Headline:  Piedmontese Beef Graces the Presidential Plate

From the Piedmont of Italy to Main Course at the White House - Piedmontese beef was served at the State of the Union Address Luncheon...an esteemed luncheon reserved only for select journalists and news anchors from the most notable news sources.  The menu that is served at such a luncheon is of course, the upper echelon of food quality and style...cuisine to make even the highest highfalutin connoisseur's taste buds light up like a pinball machine!  "...There is no better food on planet Earth than what comes out of that White House kitchen," boasted Shep Smith, anchor for Fox News, who apparently gives a recap each year of the menu.

And this year, it was Piedmontese Beef that made it's debut on the White House Menu...main course - front and center....

The Menu (Just in case you want to try it at home...)

Winter Lettuces & Shaved Vegetables
Honeyed Pecans & Reggiano Crisps

Dry Aged Piedmontese Beef
Shallot Jus
Three Grain Risotto
Root Vegetables

Cara Cara Orange Tarts
Ricotta Sorbet

Not just for the Beau Monde...

Piedmontese Beef is rare and valuable...with an exclusive and unique history and quality.  It is most often compared to the illustrious Kobe Beef, for being the epitome of fine dining.  But, Piedmontese is not just for the glitterati and a politically weighted table - you can find it right here in sleepy Watkinsville and Athens area - available to you through on farm pick up, Athens Locally Grown, AND...

Breaking Headline:  Local Restaurant Serves "Presidential" Piedmontese Beef

Well, we may not have provided the White House with their Piemontese Beef (a goal to shoot for!) - but we are supplying Heirloom Cafe & Fresh Market with their beef!  So stop in and enjoy a "Will Burger" - named after our very own Willy P. and come Valentine's Day you can also find a sumptuous short ribs Piedmontese Dish!  And have it with a house crafted cocktail (as Hierloom just got their spirits license!)   You may even find me there serving beef and slinging drinks...now how much more farm-to-table can you get?  A burger named for the farmer, served by the farmhand at a favorite local, farm focused restaurant? 

Well folks, that's all for this week!  Don't forget to let us know if we can fill any beef and egg orders for the week!...&/or see ya at Heirloom!  :)

For the love of community and all things farming...

Your local farmers,

Will and the folks at P.o.R.C.

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...
