It’s that time of year again; Washington is blooming in pink and our world famous cherry blossoms are sprouting up, here and there and everywhere. There is no better time to explore DC, catch some sights, stroll by the White House, or enjoy an afternoon along the Potomac on the Georgetown Waterfront. After a great day like that, stop by Founding Farmers or Farmers & Fishers to savor in our new spring-inspired dessert, and a Cherry Picks menu item – the Cherry Slump, for $8. It’s a delicious mix of cherries freshly baked and topped with homemade biscuit topping. It’s perfect with some homemade vanilla ice cream, too!
As Washington’s first Certified Green Restaurant, we are thrilled to announce that we have been promoted by the Green Restaurant Association to a 3 star certification. At Founding Farmers and our sister restaurant, Farmers & Fishers, we take our commitment to sustainable practices as seriously as our commitment to exceptional food and drink. We are beyond grateful to the Founding Farmers family of our loyal customers and team members for their support and allowing us to realize our dream of serving award-winning cuisine in an eco-friendly manner.
For the third consecutive year, Founding Farmers has been crowned by the good people of DC as the Best American Restaurant in the 2011 Washington City Paper’s Reader Poll. It has been our passion to serve our friends and family from our farm-inspired American menu of true food and drink. Recognition such as this warms our hearts and constantly inspires us to go above and beyond the ordinary. So whether you are a regular or newbie, come down to Foggy Bottom and let us show you what award-winning food really tastes like.
