Ned Ludd is honored to be invited back for a second year in a row to do a dinner with Outstanding in the Field. This time the five course meal will be at Cameron Winery in Dundee on Sunday July 11th! The Outstanding in the Field crew has become like family to us over the last year and this is easily one of our most anticipated events of the Summer. Outstanding in the Field travels throughout North America linking farmers and chefs, creating culinary events outdoors on the farm where guests can dine right at the source. On their sixth cross-country tour the farm table will be making a stop in Dundee, Oregon on July 11th. Next to the vines at Cameron Winery, our chefs Ben Meyer and Jason French will create a 5 course locally-sourced menu with wine pairings from Cameron. The celebration begins at 4:00 PM with a tour of the winery, followed by guests gathering at a long communal table to enjoy a meal with local food artisans and producers.
For information and tickets please visit the Outstanding in the Field website
