It’s not every day that a restaurant has 42,000 owners.

True to its name, the newly opened Founding Farmers restaurant is owned by the North Dakota Farmers Union. The two-story Farragut space is the second restaurant from NDFU, which also owns Agraria in Georgetown. Like its sister restaurant, Founding Farmers sources most of its food from regional family farms in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. A few products, like honey, are from farther flung destinations (Maine, Wisconsin). All of Founding Farmers partner farms follow sustainable farming guidelines.

If that isn’t enough to quell your inner conflicted omnivore, Founding Farmers is also a Certified Green Restaurant, and the first is applying to become the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified restaurant in D.C. In short, that means is that the restaurant is constructed of reclaimed or recycled materials, is energy efficient, and powered by solar and geothermal sources. Founding Farmers is also committed to recycling everything from water carafes to paper menus.
