Please join American Farmland Trust for a free virtual screening of the documentary, Man in the Field, followed by Q & A with the artist, chef, and founder of the Outstanding in the Field farm dinners, Jim Denevan, and AFT's Mid-Atlantic Regional Director, Jamie Mierau. 



The documentary intimately reveals Denevan's artistic and culinary first with land art in epic geometric formations alongside grand dinners in beautiful natural settings. Instead of bringing the food to the restaurant, Outstanding in the Field has brought the restaurant to the food since 1999. Hosted at one long table, with 100 to 1000 guests dining together, Denevan has set tables in vineyards, farms, beaches, meadows, fishing docks, and city streets.
