Valerie Mudry named as new Market Manager at Blue Mountain Station

DAYTON-Blue Mountain Station Co-op Market and Nursery welcome Valerie Mudry as the new Market Manager. Valerie brings a diverse set of assets to the Co-op and Nursery that include skills in restaurant ownership and management along with creative skills as a pastry chef and event coordinator. Many of you may already know Valerie as a former co-owner of The Whoopemup Hollow Café in Waitsburg. Valerie's love of gardening and her knowledge in garden design will have an opportunity to shine as BMS Nursery moves into its second planting season.

The Blue Mountain Station Co-op Market is one of the tenants at the Port of Columbia's Blue Mountain Station Artisan Food Park. The Co-op Market serves as the point of sale for many of the products made on site as well as providing an outlet for over 40 regional vendors. The Market Manager assists the Port of Columbia with management of the Commercial Kitchen, events, facilities, and providing information to the public about the food park and reasons to visit Downtown Dayton.

We invite our Co-op members along with the public to stop in and meet Valerie as she begins her new position on February 18th. Winter hours at the market are 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
