    Founding Farmers Goes Public on Tap Water

    Natura SystemSince we opened our doors more than a year and a half ago, we have been using a Natura system to provide fresh, clean drinking water.   From the tap – DC’s finest!   We’ve never served fancy bottled Italian water.  EVER!  We never believed it was a good environmentally-friendly or a guest-friendly choice.  Our fancy/beautiful Natura superfiltration machine mineralizes and purifies the water without the use of chemicals, and provides our guests a choice of FREE water three ways: room temperature, chilled, or sparkling.   Now that’s tapping into something good!

    This means the recycled milk jug water carafes on your table have just been filled by your server and won’t ever see a landfill or a recycling center, because they’re washed and sanitized each night so we can use them again.   No waste, no recycling needed, no carbon offsets for water delivery trucks.  Recently, Tack Back the Tap contacted us to join them in their effort to reduce the use of bottled water. Since we’ve been doing it from day one, we immediately signed up!   Check out their information on the reasons behind their movement and join their efforts!
