11th Annual East Austin Urban Farm Tour
CANCELED due to COVID
Dear Friends,
We stand with you, our ticket holders and supporters, in disappointment over the cancelation of this wonderful event.
We would love so much to be able to ease the disappointment by offering a full refund for your ticket purchase, however, our hands are tied. Brown Paper Tickets, who handled our ticket sales, never sent the funds from their account to that of the farms. We too lost out in unrecovered expenses in preparation for the event.
Our efforts to have funds reimbursed by Brown Paper Tickets to our supporters have been unsuccessful. At this point, the only thing we can advise you to do is to file a dispute w/ your credit/debit card company. We recently found out that of some people who have done this have received a full refund, but others have not. Some card companies are better than others but it doesn't take a lot of effort, and it just may work. It's worth a try!
We so appreciate your support and are deeply saddened by the outcome of our event and the effect it has had on so many.
Tracy & Carol Ann

Farm to Table Dinner + Farm Tour
Was at Boggy Creek Farm on TWO consecutive days this year!!
****
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.

Host Farmers: Carol Ann Sayle, Tracy Gibson Geyer (& Larry Butler in Spirit)
Guest Chef: Jesse Griffiths of Dai Due, Austin, TX.
Chef Jesse Griffiths was back in the field kitchen this year. Justly famous for its commitment to hyper-local ingredients and colorful, distinctive flavors, Dai Due has consistently stayed in the press throughout the years, landing a spot on Bon Appetit’s Hot 10 List in 2015.

Host Farmers: Carol Ann Sayle, Tracy Gibson Geyer (& Larry Butler in Spirit)
Guest Chef: Zach Hunter & Jake Maddox of the Brewer's Table, Austin, TX.
Chef Jake Maddox joined us for a gregarious meal paired with local beers chosen by the experts at The Brewer’s Table. We had an opportunity to visit The Brewer's Table this past fall. It was extraordinary. Austin Monthly named The Brewer’s Table Restaurant of the Year in 2018, and we’ were excited to welcome Chef Zach for his first OITF experience.
