About Outstanding in the Field

Founded by renowned land artist Jim Denevan in 1999, Outstanding in the Field is a nomadic culinary experience created to connect people with one another and the origins of their food.

What was once a radical concept in fine dining—a communal table set outdoors—has since become a global phenomenon. Inspired by his brother's organic apple orchard, his time as a chef in Italy and Northern California, and his years surfing the Pacific, Denevan created the concept of bringing the table to the farm. The experience reflects his deep connection to place and his appreciation for the land, the water, and the people who steward them. For more information, visit https://outstandinginthefield.com/.
