Farmers Restaurant Group

We are proud to be named one of the BEST PLACES TO WORK in the DC metro area by the Washington Business Journal. Farmers Restaurant Group is a concept development and restaurant management company. Our collection of restaurants is owned by more than 40,000 family farmers of the North Dakota Farmers Union, serving American inspired food and drink with an emphasis on cooking from scratch. While our restaurant is supplied by hundreds of family farms everywhere., that doesn’t mean we know every farm, and that doesn’t mean we never have to buy product from the traditional (corporate) supply chain; it does mean we’re working hard to direct our purchasing dollars where it aligns with our values. We’re serving the best food we can, made from scratch in our kitchens every day. Our innovative, American dishes are made primarily with pure ingredients honoring the farmers and their hard-earned bounty. Currently, our restaurants include flagship location Founding Farmers DC, MoCo's Founding Farmers, Founding Farmers Tysons, Founding Farmers King of Prussia, Founding Farmers Reston Station, Founding Farmers and Distillers, and Farmers Fishers Bakers.
