Farmers Restaurant Group

A couple weeks ago, we took a trip out to the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country to visit the owner of Bell & Evans, Scott Sechler, and the rest of his team who supply the chicken for all of our restaurants. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Founding Farmers Proprietary line of Beverages is growing! Introducing Virginia Vines Rosé. A lovely, light rosé handcrafted in Madison, VA by our very own Beverage Director Jon Arroyo in conjunction with the talented team of vintners at Early Mountain Vineyards, Virginia Vines Rosé is meant to be enjoyed as an accompaniment to our Founding Farmers food or all on its own.

Kudos to our team at Founding Famers Tysons for their Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification! The FFT team worked closely with the LEED specialists through all phases of building, design, and development in order to meet their goal of certification signifying that FFT is a leader in and active participant of the green building movement.

How we love our sweet partnership with Cornell University’s Maple Program! Our partnership began in 2014, out of a conversation in our kitchen about a forest in upstate New York and our ongoing Farmers Restaurant Group (FRG) efforts of not only bringing the best product we can to all our Founding Farmers restaurant tables and hence our guests, but also our continuing commitment to sustainable ingredients.

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our first Founding Farmers restaurant outside the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) region! Slated to open in spring 2017, at the state-of-the-art dining, retail, and residence destination – King of Prussia Town Center just outside Philadelphia, PA – Founding Farmers King of Prussia will bring the Founding Farmers brand of farmer-owned, sustainable, quality food and drink that the restaurants have become known for.

Today, our food & beverage team and the entire Founding Farmers family is thrilled to open the third installment in our highly successful brand of restaurants. With Founding Farmers Tysons, located in Tysons, VA, we have grown as a team and strived to push the innovation and ingenuity envelope even further in order to inspire guests.
