Red Acre farm-to-table dinner features Chef Shon Foster
On July 25 at 4 p.m., Red Acre Farm in Cedar City will host a dinner prepared by Chef Shon Foster of Kanab’s Sego Restaurant. The dinner is a part of Outstanding in the Field, a nationwide dinner series that presents farm-to-table dinners set in the places where the food served was grown and harvested.
Now in its tenth year of production, Sara and Symbria Patterson’s Red Acre Farm grows over 177 varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs and raises free-range animals. When they’re not farming, the Pattersons successfully lobby for farms and farmers in Salt Lake City.
Foster has worked at many notable restaurants in Utah and elsewhere, including a position as executive chef at the Amangiri resort, named one of America’s best hotels for foodies by Travel & Leisure magazine.
“Our mission is to get folks out to the farm and honor the people whose good work brings nourishment to the table,” said Outstanding in the Field founder Jim Denevan. “From the beginning, we set out to inspire an appreciation for local farmers, and the food culture has traveled right along with us. Now that farm dinners have become a ‘thing,’ we’re proud to be the hardworking roadies who set the stage for America’s rock-star farmers.”
The 2018 schedule includes places that Outstanding in the Field hasn’t been to in a while such as Iowa, Utah, and West Virginia as well as places it’s never been before, including Grand Park in the heart of Los Angeles, a farm in the red-rock desert, a sheep’s milk dairy in Colorado, and a wharf on the Potomac in Washington D.C.
Red Acre Farm is located at 2322 W 4375 N in Cedar City. Tickets are $225. For more information, visit redacrefarmcsa.org.
