Mary Baldwin University hosted Staunton’s Food Day on October 23 with a mini-farmers market, cash bar, and dinner featuring locally sourced ingredients. Vendors included Queen City Brewing, Bold Rock Hard Cider, Devils Back Bone, Red Beard Brewing, and Barren Ridge and Ox Eye vineyards, Aleta Springs, Cool Breeze Stables and Farm, Dancing Star Farm, Malcom’s Market Garden, Mt. Crawford Creamery, Nu-Beginning Farm, True & Essential Meats, White Barn Company, Sunrise Farm, Buffalo Creek, and Jan’s Jams Inc.
Co-sponsor of the event, Staunton Creative Community Fund hosted a similar food day event downtown last year but because Mary Baldwin is recognized as a community leader in partnering with local farmers and vendors, the college was invited to host this year’s event on campus.
