Sarah Golibart Gorman

Sarah Golibart Gorman is a writer and educator with one foot sunk in the marsh mud of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and the other planted in the Shenandoah Valley food scene. Her food journey began in an ESVA peach orchard, sparking a deep respect for growers and makers and a love of flavor. Gorman contributes to Garden & Gun, C-VILLE Weekly, The Harrisonburg Citizen, JMU’s Madison Magazine, and Edible Blue Ridge, where she was named a 2024 Best of Edible Award finalist. She also develops recipes and stars in cooking videos for Shenandoah Valley Orchards. Her first documentary, ¡Hola, paisano!, will premiere in September 2025. She currently lives in Harrisonburg. Catch her adventures on Instagram @friendlycityfoodie.
