The Pastures of Rose Creek


    I hope everyone is doing well! Here is the latest update from the farm - short and sweet!

Sundays = More

     Starting this Sunday, we will be featuring various new products at our farm stand from our farmer friends! Why are we doing this? Despite our differences of opinion on everything from how to build a fence to eradicating the dreadful squash bug, we all share the same love for what we do.

     We've had fellow farmers help us on everything to include bolting cows, broken bush hogs and even electrical problems. Whenever something goes wrong and we need a helping hand, the farmers in the Athens/Oconee area seem to completely stop what they are doing to lend a helping hand.

     We believe that this will help support other local farmers and to build a bigger sense of community. So come by the Sunday farm stand and see what awesome, delicious stuff we have to offer!

Market Mayhem 

 
You can find us at FIVE different places throughout the week!
  • Athens Farmer's Market - Bishop Park from 8am to 12pm. We will have our Piedmontese grass-fed beef and fresh eggs for sale! Also, our ever so popular beef bone dog treats!
  • Oconee Farmer's Market -  We'll be Downtown Watkinsville by the Court House from 8am to 1pm. We will be selling our Piedmontese grass-fed beef and fresh eggs! Produce wise we will have squash and lots of beets!

  • Tuesday Oconee Market - You can find us Downtown Watkinsville next to Southern Spa and Patio from 4pm to 7pm on Tuesdays selling fresh produce picked the day of the market along with our grass fed beef!
  • Downtown Athen's Farmer's Market - On Wednesday, we will be Downtown Athens near City Hall from 4pm to 7pm! 

 

Gold Club Deal

 
     This week we are offering 20% off our grass fed Piedmontese Shoulder Roast. This roast is rich in flavor but not in fat... making it a healthy and delicious! Remember, shoulder roasts are best for slow cooking, pot roasting, braising, or stewing. Need a recipe idea? Try marinating it in lime juice, cilantro and garlic then slow cooking. This method makes spectacular meat for tacos!

     For the new subscribers - Our Gold Club is a Sunday Farm Stand discount that we offer to our Newsletter subscribers! Our farm stand is located at 1051 Rose Creek Drive, Watkinsville, GA and will be open from 2pm to 4pm on Sunday. Look for the signs on Colham Ferry!

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...
