Coleman Family Farms with L.A. Times Food Bowl

We stopped at Coleman Family Farms on our first traveling tour in 2003, setting our first table in Southern California in their rows of famous greens. This farm isn’t just important to the history of Outstanding in the Field, though. The founder, Bill Coleman, was an advocate for small farmers throughout his life and one of the foundational vendors at the iconic Santa Monica Downtown Farmers Market. His son, Romeo, now carries on the family business, still setting up at the farmers market each week to sell their beautiful produce. The chefs behind this menu hail from the seashore to Echo Park, from Chinatown to Downtown LA, celebrating the city’s most amazing restaurants and their inspiration — the stunning produce available just outside their doors.

We are proud to partner with our friends at the L.A. Times Food Bowl presented by City National Bank for this event, benefitting the L.A. Food Bank!
