Hello to all from The Pastures of Rose Creek!

And hope everyone is doing well this week!  We, here at P. of R.C. have been havin' fun this week finishing off hay and weaning calves - all important work to ensure the happiest, healthiest cows for y'all - but with all that hard work, this week's email is short and sweet.  So, please read on to learn more about this weekend's market table, and if you haven't read about it already be sure to catch up on our grass fed beef, farm fresh eggs, and pottery!

THIS WEEK'S HARVEST...

Americana Peppers (bell peppers with a kick!)

Banana Peppers

Bell Peppers

Eggplant

Kale

Okra

Mixed Greens

New Mexico Green Chiles

Radishes

Tabasco peppers

Thai Dragon Peppers

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!

**Come check out other surprise veggies we may have to offer!**

HAPPENINGS:

GRASS FED BEEF - A big thank you for all the support and interest in our grass fed beef!  Although we are temporarily sold out, we are excited to know that there is such a high demand and interest in healthy, environmentally sound beef.  The ball will really start rolling around January when we will have a steady supply of cows reaching their prime age and weight throughout the year.  Attached you will find the brochure, order form, and more detailed information on "what you will get."  Go ahead and put your order in today and reserve your beef for next year!  

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

"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

FARM-FRESH EGGS - The FARM FRESH EGGS are here!!!  However, our chickens are not yet producing a large number of eggs, so we have a limited supply to sell this week.  We will be selling our eggs by the full and half dozen.  And hope to be able to provide more eggs as our chickens continue to mature!  

These birds have been raised with love and have been given the freedom to just be themselves!  Roaming and foraging our fields hunting for pesky bugs and doing a good deal of fertilizing along the way (eliminating the need for harmful pesticides and chemically based fertilizers).  

So, you don't want to miss out on these happy healthy eggs!  And in this case, the early worm gets the bird! (Well...egg, rather)

POTTERY - And you are in for another treat this week!  The very talented John Bradford is BACK with some of his beautiful pottery to adorn our market table! These pots are the product of the first firing of John's hand built wood-fired anagama/soda ash kiln located right here at The Pastures of Rose Creek.  Anagama wood-fired pottery is a fascinating Japanese tradition, in which pots are fired at temperatures in excess of 2200 degrees.  The product is beautiful, earthy pottery that varies in color and texture.  Come and check out his pots this Saturday...his pottery has been going fast!  You can also find some of his work at Sunshine Village Gallery, downtown Watkinsville.

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!

BAKED GOODS by Dana (Watkinsville Market):

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

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...
