Founding Farmers Blog

Our newest Farmers Restaurant Group restaurant, Founding Farmers Tysons (FFT), is much like our other Founding Farmers restaurants: a labor of love. Our restaurant consulting team loves collaborating with and being inspired by our external team of amazing designers, artists, and craftsmen, who bring our concepts to life.

We are happy to share that our second event in our Behind the BARn series was a great success. This installment aptly named, “Margarita May,” drew guests last night to MoCo’s Founding Farmers for a fun night of food, a look behind the scenes of our Founding Farmers bar & beverage program … and of course some yummy margaritas!

Founding Farmers DC and Farmers Fishers Bakers in Georgetown are excited to participate in Negroni Week 2015!  We are always thrilled to hear about efforts to raise money for charitable organizations, while pairing it with celebrating one of the world’s greatest cocktails: The Negroni!  

We’d like to thank Virginia’s Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, and specifically the Greater Washington Innovation Awards, for their recognition of Founding Farmers restaurants. Founding Farmers Tysons was recently recognized in the prestigious category of Hospitality, Tourism & Entertainment Innovator of the Year, Greater Washington metro area.

A few of us had the pleasure of taking a road trip recently to Virginia’s heartland in order to spend an awesome day touring the facilities and visiting with the good people at Devils Backbone Brewing Company.

We’re thrilled to share a look behind the scenes at last night’s kick-off event for our new Founding Farmers monthly series, Behind the BARn. Our dynamic Beverage Director, Jon Arroyo, and his talented team offered MoCo’s Founding Farmers guests an exclusive, fun-filled glimpse into our award-winning bar & beverage program.

DC’s most beautiful time of year is right around the corner, Cherry Blossom season!  In honor of The National Cherry Blossom Festival this year, March 20th – April 12th, our DC location will be serving up a special dessert in celebration.  

Sunday, February 1st, 2015 Co-Owner Dan Simons and Chef Joe Goetze were invited to chat about our NEW location with Foodie and the Beast host Nycci Nellis. We didn’t waste any time getting right into what everyone loves most: FOOD!

Today, our food & beverage team and the entire Founding Farmers family is thrilled to open the third installment in our highly successful brand of restaurants. With Founding Farmers Tysons, located in Tysons, VA, we have grown as a team and strived to push the innovation and ingenuity envelope even further in order to inspire guests.

“We’re locked on our date, and moving full steam ahead to open the largest and most interesting and impressive restaurant in our group to date,” said Dan Simons, co-owner & concept developer.
