We aren't sure what kind of magic strings Outstanding in the Field founder, Jim Denevan, is holding but ended up with another perfect New England evening in August for our second year of collaboration with Outstanding in the Field.
This year we headed down to Weir River Farm in Hingham, MA, a Trustees property with woodland trails, fields of golden grass dotted with wild flowers, and beautiful views of both the ocean and Boston skyline from the top of Turkey Hill.
We spent the day under their green tents preparing a true farm-to-table dining experience for 190 guests. We smoked local vegetables, fish and duck on the wood fire grill. As we plated our passed hors d'oeuvres, farmers from 5 different New England oyster farms shucked oysters for guests at the opening reception, including our friends at Unicorn Oyster Farm.
With a pink sunset painting the sky and a nearly full moon rising, we plated our family style dinner as servers poured paired wines from Martha Stoumen, hand selected by Julia Bailey of Olmstead Wines.
As we walked the table at the closing ceremony, we were happy to see some familiar faces at the extra long table. Chef Erin Miller spoke of our ethos of sourcing locally and our commitment to bolstering community through food, togetherness, and hospitality. The entire table erupted in applause.
We are so grateful to have the privilege to work with this outstanding group. It's not just a play on words, the Outstanding in the Field folks are the best in the business. Thank you to all who joined us and shared in this beautiful evening.
