For 'Culinary Adventure,' Group Brings Table to Farm
"Farm to table" is the name of a movement that encourages people to eat locally grown food. The farm-to-table idea has become more popular in recent years. But there is also a group that also brings "table to farm." This traveling group is called Outstanding in the Field. It says its mission is to reconnect people to the land and to honor local farmers by creating a restaurant without walls. Jim Denevan got the idea for this kind of "culinary adventure," as he calls it, 10 years ago. He recently prepared tables for more than 100 people at Briars Farmstead in Virginia. He and his eight-member crew arrived the night before. Chefs from a local restaurant prepared the dinner. Jim Denevan says, "The mission of Outstanding in the Field is to bring people closer to where food comes from and hear the stories directly from the farmer."Jim Denevan's brother is a farmer and he, himself, is a former chef.
