Alexandria’s New Favorite Patio Has Arrived at Founding Farmers

After an amazing first few months serving the Alexandria community, Founding Farmers Alexandria is excited to announce that our patio is officially open for the season! Located in the heart of Potomac Yard, our outdoor seating is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast, lunch, weekday happy hour, dinner, or weekend brunch. Even better? Our Alexandria patio is pet-friendly—so your furry best friend is welcome to join you.

Outdoor Dining in Alexandria for Every Occasion 

Picture this: you’re seated at one of our patio tables, shaded by cheerful umbrellas that provide the perfect respite from the DMV sun. As evening approaches, our twinkling string lights create a magical ambiance that transforms your dinner into something truly special. Whether you’re catching up with old friends, enjoying a romantic date night, or celebrating a family milestone, our patio offers the ideal backdrop for those moments that matter. 

The Full Experience, Under the Stars 

We believe that great outdoor dining should never mean compromising on service or quality. That’s why our patio offers the complete restaurant experience with full table service from our attentive staff. You’ll enjoy the same carefully crafted dishes and expertly mixed cocktails that have made us a neighborhood favorite since opening in March – just with the added bonus of fresh air and people watching along the charming streets of Alexandria. 

First Come, First Served – Worth the Wait 

Here’s what makes dining on our patio different: it operates on a first come, first served basis. While this might mean a short wait during peak hours (especially on those gorgeous Friday evenings), we promise it’s worth it. While you wait for a table, you can grab a handcrafted drink inside at our bar or check out delicious pastries and chocolates at our Bakery & Cafe counter.
