Outstanding in the Field




























































































Last weekend, Jeff and I had a unique dining experience. We took part in a dinner event called "Outstanding in the Field." As opposed to laying out all the details check out their website here
This was a fantastic evening and goes above and beyond the typical night out. The food was amazing. Jeff and I ate things like goose egg noodles topped with duck. We nibbled on rabbit and fresh produce picked hours before the dinner bell rang.

The table was set for 150 guests. Everywhere the bus travels, the long signature table is set up in the most scenic way. Everyone brings their own plate to add color and variety to the setting. Every item on the menu is sourced from local farmers, even down to the honeysuckle accents in our drinks. The meal is served on the farm and the farmers give a brief tour of the land and an explanation of their "biological" farming practices. (this farmer doesn't have the official organic label so they prefer biological instead). It is truly a celebration of the farmer and highlights the hard work it takes to put food on our table.

If you have a chance attend a dinner. They are sold out for this season, but get on their email list and book it the day they announce their 2012 schedule.
