What is a Farm-to-Table Restaurant?
A farm-to-table restaurant is a restaurant where the ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, which means that they tend to be very fresh, and they have been through a minimal series of middlemen, if any, literally going directly from the farm to the table. The farm-to-table restaurant trend is part of a larger movement to eat as locally as possible, taking advantage of seasonally available fruits and vegetables and focusing on the environmental and cultural impacts of farming. As a general rule, farm-to-table restaurants readily identify themselves, as the farm-to-table concept is considered a selling point.
