Guests at Bartlett's Farm enjoy a five course meal prepared by Angela and Seth Raynor of the Pearl at the Outstanding in the Field event.
The Outstanding in the Field event was held at Bartlett's Farm.
On Tuesday, guests at Bartlett’s farm strolled through the fields, sampled Cisco Brewers Beer, and tasted delicious Duxbury Island Creek Oysters. Jim Denevan and Katie Oursler, the directors of Outstanding in the Field, have organized 72 of these events throughout the country to celebrate local farming.After a stroll through the farm, guests hopped on a hay wagon and headed to the corn fields to learn the secrets of picking corn from sixth-generation owner of Bartlett’s Farm, John Bartlett. They were also treated to a five course meal cooked by The Pearl's chefs Angela and Seth Raynor.When speaking of the event, John Bartlett said, “It brings people closer to their food. We wanted to give a slice of what we do at the farm everyday. Everybody seems to move very fast here [on Nantucket]. It’s an opportunity for everybody to share a moment.”Ten percent of the proceeds from the event were donated to Sustainable Nantucket, an organization dedicated to preserving Nantucket’s charm and self-sufficiency. Most recently, Sustainable Nantucket has helped to organize a farmer’s market on the Island.

The more I check out the plum the more of the island I realize I have not seen (and I have been coming here every summer or fall since the early 80's!). This looks like one event my family will be sure to check out in the near future.

We experienced our first
We experienced our first Outstanding in the Field dinner recently which was held October 25th 2008 in Napa, California. My expectations we somewhat low given that it wasn’t until the last moment we were told the menu would be vegetarian. Well, this wasn’t an issue. Chefs Jeremy Fox and Deanie Hickox-Fox of Ubuntu did a great job of bringing what remained of the summer garden to the table.
Overall the staff and hosts were great. The garden was awesome and the weather was great. I look forward to making it to another event soon. I just hope I can score tickets in the first few hours before they sell out!
