Founding Farmers

Spring has made its way to the DC area, and with it comes America’s favorite pastime. Opening Day at Nationals Park is next Thursday, March 28th. Join us for a tasty and hassle-free Opening Day matchup between the Washington Nationals and the New York Mets.  Founding Farmers Reston Station is the perfect place to dodge the long lines and crowds at Nationals Park and Metro directly to the game.

Founding Farmers is once again celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. We have a full week of special Irish whiskey’s, cocktails, and beers that are sure to please.  From those reveling in Irish history and appreciation to those just coming in for some great whiskey, beer, and cocktails, and everyone in between, Founding Farmers is a great place to be on St.

Since launching Our Last Straw in June, Founding Farmers Co-Owner Dan Simons has continued to collaborate with local businesses and legislators to eliminate the distribution of plastic straws across the DMV.

On Monday, Founding Farmers DC Chef Oscar Rivera was a winning angler for Farmers Restaurant Group. He reeled in a 31-inch Chesapeake Bay Rockfish that landed our company team a 3rd place trophy at the 7th Annual Congressional Seafood’s FINvitational.

Some have been critical of recent worldwide efforts to eliminate plastic straws. They say plastic straws are so small. How does eliminating them really have any significant environmental impact? For Founding Farmers, and across all of our restaurants, ditching the plastic straw has become a collaborative mission with close to 150 restaurants, NGOs, and government leaders across the DC area.

On Saturday, Founding Farmers joined Maryland beer lovers and makers at REVIVE! A celebration of Maryland’s award-winning beer and cuisine. Hosted by the Brewers Association of Maryland, guests enjoyed an evening of craft beer and tasty food, while dancing to the bluegrass melodies of The Plate Scrapers.

August can be a rough month for DC locals. It’s usually unbearably hot and humid, and many of our friends and family have managed to skip town. One great way to beat the heat and enjoy our great city this month?

Asparagus is cool. We recently had the chance to tour Godfrey’s Farm, where we are currently getting our asparagus for MoCo’s Founding Farmers. Looking across the field, it is hard to even see that there is something amazing and delicious growing there.

Founding Farmers joined the gathering of DC foodies last night at the RAMMYS Awards Gala held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Our team was on hand to mix up some of the city’s favorite cocktails, including our Cucumber Delight featuring our award-winning craft vodka, and celebrate our industry friends.

It’s soft-shell crab season in the Washington, D.C. metro area. For many, this means dining out and seeing how some of your favorite restaurants are serving them. Founding Farmers Tysons, DC, and MoCo are all offering Maryland soft-shell crabs two ways this year.
