Founding Farmers Restaurants: The foundation of Founding Farmers is rooted in the belief that the American farmer is the bedrock of our great country. The restaurants are owned by more than 42,000 family farmers and are supplied by hundreds of family farms around the country. All the food served in their  restaurants is made from scratch, in-house every day. They bake their own bread, pastas and desserts, grind their own beef, even churn their own butter. Enjoy your gift certificate at any of their 5 area locations in Washington, DC, Tysons, Virginia and Potomac, Maryland. All of the menus are inspired by America’s rich culinary tradition, including their unique takes on all-American classics. Feel good knowing that all of their restaurants are certified by the Green Restaurant Association and they're committed to continually seek new and innovative ways to improve and increase sustainability.
