Founding Farmers Blog

Summertime at Founding Farmers Tysons means we are basking in the golden blaze of sunflowers. Every year, we are delighted by bountiful bouquets from our partner, Sweet Virginia, a non-profit organization on a mission to inspire and educate children about the wonder of honey bees and the critical role they play in pollinating fruits and vegetables, as well as the overall positive impact they have on our environment.

  At Farmers Restaurant Group, we are proud of our American heritage and the generations of workers that continue to provide the backbone of our country. From our owners, who are family farmers, to the people who help us create our restaurants, we do our best to honor and support hard-working American families however we can.

A couple weeks ago, we took a trip out to the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country to visit the owner of Bell & Evans, Scott Sechler, and the rest of his team who supply the chicken for all of our restaurants. 

All of our locations will be offering our award-winning brunch this Independence Day, and MoCo’s Founding Farmers in Potomac will also be serving brunch on Monday, July 3rd. What better way to celebrate this great land of ours than by enjoying our American classics, which help to support hardworking family farmers, many of which are our owners, investors, and suppliers.

Last Friday, June 2nd, Founding Farmers paired up with Sweet Virginia to pay a visit to Ross Elementary School in Washington, D.C. We wanted to share everything we know about honey bees and their importance in our lives with their pre-K class.

Monday marks the start of Negroni Week, which runs June 5-11, 2017. This annual fundraiser put on by Imbibe magazine and Campari is no small affair. To date, $900K has been raised for charities nationwide.

In the drizzling rain this past Monday, a foursome representing MoCo’s Founding Farmers joined other local businesses as sponsors in a round of golf to raise money for multiple charities in the DC metro area.

Memorial Day is almost here, a holiday that for most marks the start of summer and a time of reverence in honor of our nation’s soldiers. Whether you’re joining the national celebrations across the DC area, gathering with family and friends, planting your garden, pulling out your summer whites, or simply enjoying three days off… we hope you will join us for brunch.

Our up and coming Founding Farmers in King of Prussia, PA team joined golfers from all over for a great day on the links at the annual Montco Golf Classic last weekend.

Last night, our MoCo’s Founding Farmers team joined other award-winning local businesses for the 4th Annual Best of Bethesda party. Hosted by Bethesda Magazine, this annual celebration showcases what their readers and editors have voted as the best places around town to eat and drink, to exercise, to shop, to take their kids, and more.
