All of our locations will be offering our award-winning brunch this Independence Day, and MoCo’s Founding Farmers in Potomac will also be serving brunch on Monday, July 3rd. What better way to celebrate this great land of ours than by enjoying our American classics, which help to support hardworking family farmers, many of which are our owners, investors, and suppliers.

Last Friday, June 2nd, Founding Farmers paired up with Sweet Virginia to pay a visit to Ross Elementary School in Washington, D.C. We wanted to share everything we know about honey bees and their importance in our lives with their pre-K class.

Monday marks the start of Negroni Week, which runs June 5-11, 2017. This annual fundraiser put on by Imbibe magazine and Campari is no small affair. To date, $900K has been raised for charities nationwide.

In the drizzling rain this past Monday, a foursome representing MoCo’s Founding Farmers joined other local businesses as sponsors in a round of golf to raise money for multiple charities in the DC metro area.

Memorial Day is almost here, a holiday that for most marks the start of summer and a time of reverence in honor of our nation’s soldiers. Whether you’re joining the national celebrations across the DC area, gathering with family and friends, planting your garden, pulling out your summer whites, or simply enjoying three days off… we hope you will join us for brunch.

Our up and coming Founding Farmers in King of Prussia, PA team joined golfers from all over for a great day on the links at the annual Montco Golf Classic last weekend.

Last night, our MoCo’s Founding Farmers team joined other award-winning local businesses for the 4th Annual Best of Bethesda party. Hosted by Bethesda Magazine, this annual celebration showcases what their readers and editors have voted as the best places around town to eat and drink, to exercise, to shop, to take their kids, and more.

Guests come from all over to experience our Chicken & Waffles, and feedback continues to suggest that this dish is a restaurant favorite. We have to agree. This is comfort food at its tastiest, or as Chef Joe likes to say, “food that gives you a hug.” A perfect combination of sweet and savory, it’s hard not to love this soulful, Southern-inspired meal, which is good because it wasn’t the easiest recipe to develop.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows Farmers Restaurant Group that when we decided to create a unique, proprietary coffee blend for our restaurants, we wanted to work with an independent local roaster who not only knew a lot about coffee, but one that had a knack for interesting, tasty blends.

It has been another exciting year partnering and raising awareness about honey bees with Sweet Virginia! Sweet Virginia, located nearby in Nokesville, VA, is a non-profit organization with a mission to inspire and educate children about the lifecycle of honey bees and the critical role they play in pollinating plants, fruits, and vegetables, and the overall positive (and much needed!) impact they have on our environment.
