Project GROWS announces Fall Farm Formal

Chris Graham

project growsProject GROWS, a 501c3 non-profit educational farm located in Augusta County, will host its first-ever Fall Farm Formal on Nov. 20 at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Downtown Staunton.

The event serves as an opportunity for the community to celebrate another exciting year connecting kids with healthy food and to support future projects.

The evening will feature music, farm-fresh food, and both a silent and live auction. Project GROWS is partially funded through a grant from the Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth and several local grants including United Way, Community Foundation of the Blue Ridge, and Augusta Health.

“This event is a great chance for people in the community to support the work of Project GROWS while having a great time eating local food,” Says Ryan Blosser, Executive Director of Project GROWS.

Project GROWS fulfills its mission to improve the overall health of children and youth in Staunton, Waynesboro and Augusta County through food education, food production, and food distribution.
