About

Our History

Field Day is a Portland, Oregon-based catering company lead by chef/owner Jeremy Larter. After graduating culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in 1996, Jeremy continued his education working alongside respected chefs in Rhode Island, New York and Virginia before heading West to Oregon in 2001. Completely enamored with Portland, he settled in and continued to hone his skills as a server, bartender, kitchen manager, and catering chef at outstanding local venues such as Ken’s Artisan Pizza, DOC, and GP Catering in Lake Oswego. With this wealth of experience and lifetime of passion for food, Field Day Feasts and Gatherings was actualized in 2013, with the aim of providing distinctive, seasonal menus with attention to service, quality and approachability. In 2022, Jeremy and his wife, sculptor and jewelry designer Emily Bixler, opened neighborhood bistro Old Pal with the mission to create a sustainability-driven gathering place that strives to play a part in healing soil and ocean waters. Field Day shares the same ethos and specializes in creating sustainable-focused, seasonally-driven food and cocktail menus for catered events. We are proud of both our local purveyor relationships, providing the freshest bounty of Pacific Northwest fare, and our service team that brings the feeling of family to every event.

Our Philosophy

We believe that the Pacific Northwest is one of the country’s most exciting places to dine and drink, where culinary creativity is made possible by the luscious bounty of our region. Working closely with local farmers, artisan producers and winemakers, we take pride in sourcing the highest quality ingredients for our events to provide our clients with the highest quality service, food and beverage possible. Field Day wants to help our clients explore and celebrate everything that this region has to offer.

Our Promise
