Tour and Gathering
Last month, representatives from Aramark, William & Mary and other local Aramark accounts visited Slade Farms in Surry, VA to discuss opportunities for BIPOC-owned farmers to be better represented within regional dining programs. While this is only the beginning of a lengthy process, it was an immense privilege to share a meal with this incredible community and better understand the work they are doing across the river from campus.

Look out for events and special programs throughout the year that feature local producers and products.
