Dinner Description
Our fifth visit, we once again bring the table to beautiful UBC farm in Vancouver, British Columbia. A diverse urban farm surrounded by dense groves of tall firs trees. UBC Farm is close to everything; the farm sees a lot of area visitors. A Saturday farmers market, a CSA, student interns, university research; this beautiful farm is a treasured community resource and a very fascinating farm tour. Mark Bomford and Amy Frye are our seasoned farm tour leaders. Chef Andrea Carlson of Bishop’s returns for a second year. Last year’s delicious dinner was a guest favorite.

Outstanding in the Field events feature a leisurely tour of the hosting farm followed by a five course, farm-style dinner at our long table set in a scenic spot. Dinner is accompanied by a wine paired with each course. Diners are joined at the table by the farmer, food producers, a winemaker and other local artisans associated with the meal.
