Greatest Person: Third-Grader Driven to Raise Money for Oconee Animal Shelter

Say it ain't so! This restaurant has been part of my family, and I hope it finds a way to stay open. This would apply to the Butler's Crossing location only in Watkinsville, Oconee County. I hope this does not come to pass. The ownership changed not all that long ago, and I only think it has been open a couple of years at the most.

The weeks for the Farmers Market are starting to dwindle down..... Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:56:39 -0400 Subject: Pastures of Rose Creek: This Week's Harvest From: pastures1051@gmail.com Hello again from The Pastures of Rose Creek! They're coming!!!  They're coming!!! FARM FRESH EGGS are just around the corner!  Just yesterday Ann discovered the first official egg from our batch of chickens.  We have raised these chickens since they were wee little chicks (March 2012) and they have now reached maturity and are ready to lay their first eggs.  These chickens are happy, free-ranging chickens who spend their days doing what chickens do best - eating bugs and grasses and fertilizing our fields!  And now they will be laying happy, healthy eggs...1 chicken will lay approximately 1 egg every 23 hours!  So, keep an eye out for our market table - you should be seeing FARM FRESH EGGS in about 2 weeks....
