Outstanding in the Field Dinner on the Ranch

Well, holy shit — that was something.

We had our Outstanding in the Field dinner on the ranch on July 15th, and it was a night to remember.

It was a gorgeous Montana summer evening, the food was delicious, the people that attended were wonderful, the people working were wonderful, and there was a palpable energy and stoke you could feel in the crowd — people were just fired up in the best way possible.

Massive thanks to the entire Outstanding in the Field crew. You were a joy to work with, and we now understand why you have such an incredible reputation.

Massive thanks to Chef Eduardo Garcia and his amazing, amazing team. More to come, but for now — thank you, Chef.

Massive thanks to all who attended. There were people here from all over the country. I met so many great people and had so many wonderful conversations. And, again, the collective energy from everyone was something you could really feel, which was super cool and unique.

Massive thanks to our family and friends that attended — your presence made the night that much sweeter.

Massive thanks to Sally the Ranch Dog for crashing the dinner and somehow behaving herself.

Sarah, Otto, Greta — you three made the night. So much love. So much gratitude.

It was just a magical evening celebrating Montana, ranching, regenerative agriculture, good food from the land, and hard work from the heart.

And I think we gotta do it again next summer.
