Farm to Table Dinner + Farm Tour
Was at Boggy Creek Farm on TWO consecutive days this year!!
​
**TICKETS available at $265 per person**
​
For its 10th year in a row the crew from Outstanding in the Field delighted guests at Boggy Creek Farm; this time for TWO nights!
​
Boggy Creek is Austin's original urban farm. Outstanding in the Field first came here in 2005, OITF’s first visit to Texas, and have made a habit of coming back each year.
Farmers Carol Ann Sayle and Larry Butler always welcomed us with open arms; they’re family. Sadly, Larry passed in 2018, and now Carol Ann & Larry's daughter Tracy & son Tom are filling her their Dad’s big boots.
Boggy Creek is a “no-till” farm, which means they pay meticulous attention to the health of their soil. The result is a happy, healthy ecosystem and some of the most delicious, nutritious vegetables we’ve ever tasted.

We are amazed that the event sold out as quickly as it did. The incredible support this community has for our urban farms is just heartwarming.
We spent a lovely Sunday afternoon strolling among the crop and visiting the chickens, donkeys and rabbits on four urban farms mere blocks apart. In the fields, farmers introduced their crops, shared their experiences as farmers and answered gardening questions. At each farm, chefs offered tastes of their art, using farm ingredients. Local mixologists, brewers, and wine merchants shared sips!
