We decided to compile a list of other farm-to-table restaurants that we admire. And as an added twist, each restaurant is located on a working farm.

Want to learn more about sustainability, farm-to-table, and where your food comes from? We’ve put together a list of 7 of our favorite books touching on these issues. Hopefully, we will pique your interest enough that you will read one of the selections (of course you’re welcome to read them all).

The farm-to-table concept (once considered just a trend) is now recognized as an important working component of agriculture sustainability. The production involved in farm-to-table operations helps maintain environmental protections that preserve fertile fields and clean water sources.

Let’s be real. The term “organic” is a confusing one. We learned in our grade school science classes that something organic is made up of carbon. So what does it mean, when we are talking about organic foods? Not only do we have organic produce, but then there is also organic meat. “Organic” has become a buzzword. People have started to use it in reference to produce that was originally grown without the use of pesticides.

Heading out for lunch with some friends? Maybe looking for a nice evening out on the town? Wondering which restaurant to visit for dinner?
