This will be our fourth visit to the University of British Columbia Farm. UBC Farm is a beautiful, diverse farm in the heart of Vancouver. UBC Farm supplies fresh produce to area restaurants and to a small, on site farmer's market. UBC is also a place where student interns dig, plant, and gather knowledge of sustainable agriculture.

For the past three farm dinner seasons, we have enjoyed the culinary artistry and good cheer of Chef David Hawksworth of West Restaurant. David recently left West Restaurant to begin a new project: an exciting new restaurant expected to open in late 2009 at the Georgia Hotel.

Our chef this year will be Andrea Carlson of Bishop's restaurant. John Bishop, owner of Bishop's, was a pioneer in the successful effort to secure and promote locally sourced ingredients. Mark Bomford, Director of UBC Farm, and Chef Andrea have strengthened that tie and forged a thriving partnership. We will hear their story and celebrate the fruits of a growing collaboration.

Outstanding in the Field events feature a leisurely tour of the hosting farm followed by a five course, farm-style dinner at our long table set in a scenic spot. Dinner is accompanied by a wine paired with each course. Diners are joined at the table by the farmer, food producers, a winemaker and other local artisans associated with the meal.
