Pastures of Rose Creek: This Week's Harvest




Hello to all from The Pastures of Rose Creek!

 Hope all is well for everyone this week!  We here at Pastures of Rose Creek are very excited to report that our first head of grass fed beef has been sold, butchered, delivered, and consumed (well....at least partially) by some very happy customers!  In fact it was so yummy, Meredith Bowman of Monroe, happily agreed to share her testimonial...

"I was so excited to find out there was local grass fed beef available in Monroe.  Only a week after placing my order for 1/4 of a cow, it was delivered to my door!  Let me say, it did NOT disappoint.  My husband and I have cooked it several times already and it is absolutely delicious, not to mention better for you than the beef you find in the grocery store.  Will, John, and Dana at the Pastures of Rose Creek were a joy to work with.  They made the process easy and convenient.  We are extremely pleased and cant thank you enough!" -Meredith Bowman, Monroe

Thank you, Meredith!  And we're not too shy ourselves to say that the quarter we kept is without a doubt the best steaks and burgers we've ever had!  So, let's not forget to thank Brisket (that tasty cow) and of course to the Power's family for raising such healthy, environmentally sound and delicious beef!  
And there is certainly more to come!  Please read on for dates and check out the revised brochure and order form for more info!  And don't forget to catch a sneak peek of the weekly harvest at the bottom!
HAPPENINGS:

GRASS FED BEEF - More delicious beef is on it's way!  The next scheduled date with the abattoir (or butcher) is at the end of September.  This last cow went FAST!  So, get your order in soon, y'all!  Feel free to stop on by the Watkinsville Farmer's Market or give one of us a call/email if you have any questions about our grass fed beef!  Dana Bradford: 575.613.2029 or Will Powers: 706.254.9391
MONROE MARKET - We are sorry to say that we will most likely not be apart of the Monroe Marker this year.  Our crops have taken an unexpectedly hard hit by the heat and unfortunately will not have enough to support both markets.  But, next year we are expanding our gardens by twice the size and are gearing up to be full time Monroe participants!  But until then, if you find yourself in Watkinsville (aka Wat-Town) on Saturday morning - stop on by the market!  And don't hesitate to call or email about our grass fed beef...we'll deliver!

POTTERY - We are pleased to report that John Bradford's pottery has become so popular that we have temporarily run out!!  We have another wood-firing coming up in September....so no worries, those beautiful pots will be back soon!  You can also find some of his work at Sunshine Village Gallery, downtown Watkinsville.

BARN-WOOD FRAMES - Our Watkinsville Table also welcomes Eric Ayers and his beautifully hand-crafted Barn-Wood Frames. As a 4th generation working farm, P.o.R.C. has it's share of old barn wood. Eric has taken this wood and highlighted it's rustic beauty in his wooden picture frames, mirrors, and earring displays. He'll be around every other week...so keep an eye out for him!

BAKED GOODS by Dana (Watkinsville Market):

Cranberry Almond Biscotti (great for coffee and non coffee drinkers alike!)

You can to order custom-made pies and other baked goods to be picked up on Saturdays at the Farmer's Market. Please send any baking requests to Dana (575.613.2029 OR dana.k.blair@gmail.com) by Tuesday each week. Check out the attached price list!

Our Gardens are in transition this month, so we're a little lighter in quantity (but never in quality!)...so hold on tight...we have more on the way!

Thank you all for your support! Hope to see y'all Saturday at the Watkinsville Farmers Market!
For the love of community and all things farming...

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
