The field that started it all. This beautiful apple orchard belongs to OITF founder Jim Denevan’s brother Bill and Jim spent many seasons here thinning apples, collecting brush and picking fruit as a teen. The idea for Outstanding in the Field was born with this place in mind: one long table right here, where these heirloom apples were planted several generations ago along the Santa Cruz coast. We first set the table here back in 1999 and we’ve been back a few times since. This year, our guest chef is Jim Denevan himself. Jim spent many years as the chef at the lauded Gabriella Cafe before venturing around the country in the big red bus. Bill is a pioneering organic farmer and will give us an educational tour around the property while Jim and crew cooks away in the field kitchen.
