Top Stories of 2017: Uniontown's New Sage Bakery closes

A key achievement of the Uniontown Community Development Association (UCDA), New Sage Baking opened in a two-story, brick former saloon in 2002 and closed in September after four years under the name New Sage Bakery.

Supplying various wholesale bakery accounts across the Palouse – from Colfax to Moscow — the company also ran a cafe three to four days a week.

Del and Amy Stillwaugh of Uniontown bought the operation in 2013, and later expanded to run Daily’s Bakery in Clarkston and a doughnut-making facility in Asotin.

At the time of closing, New Sage Bakery served 15-20 wholesale accounts.

Proceeds from rent of the building to Sage/New Sage led to the UCDA building up reserves and investing in the Dahmen Barn as well as remodeling a former Uniontown grocery store which now houses a tasting room for Wawawai Canyon Winery.
