Hidden among the glamour of Hollywood lies the sanctuary that is Wattles Farm. Here, amidst the bustling city streets, master gardener Toby Leaman and her team cultivate not only crops, but also a vibrant community spirit that thrives on sustainability and connection.
Mountain Valley was honored to there on a sunny Sunday in May, when the farm played host to a special Outstanding in the Field, highlighting its unique blend of natural beauty and urban oasis.
Outstanding in the Field aims to connect diners to the origins of their food while celebrating the hardworking hands that feed, including chefs, farmers, fisherpeople, cheesemakers, vintners, brewers and many more. As a longtime partner, Mountain Valley is proud to work with Outstanding in the Field to celebrate those who cultivate, collaborate and create.
