Fort Valley, VA
B&W / Theme Day: Cooking |
This young lady was rolling out dough for whole wheat bread. She was making it from scratch, and not even from store-bought flour. The flour had actually been freshly ground there at the Craft and Heritage Festival. You can see the woodstove for baking it on the left.
I did ask permission before taking her picture because some Mennonite churches discourage photography while others don’t mind it.
The festival was outdoors, so I took Charlie and he behaved himself. It is sponsored by the Fort Valley Museum.
Fort Valley is a charming rural region of Shenandoah County. I decided to do the post in black-and-white in keeping with the old-fashioned theme of the festival.
