Founding Farmers DC

At Founding Farmers, Everything Matters. Nothing is too small. If something can be made better, smarter, healthier, that’s how we want to do it. This means we thoughtfully source all our ingredients.

We're hosting active recycling and composting programs that divert about 90% of our waste from landfills. We design and operate sustainable restaurants.

EVERYTHING we serve, all of our food and drink, are from scratch. Our Co-Owner Michael Vucurevich (known as Mike V.) and Chef Joe Goetze continually develop our menus, crafting new and delicious ways to serve our guests, starting with simple, high-quality ingredients.

That English muffin? Made in our bakery with North Dakota flour and served with jam, also made here. The burger? All-natural beef, ground daily in our restaurants. Those fries? Yep, made fresh each day from the highest quality potatoes. That ice cream? Hand-churned here. Ginger Soda?

Our bartenders are also chefs. We boil and reduce fresh ginger crafting our own ginger syrup. Our beverages? That too. We have our own distillery, Founding Spirits, located in the heart of our Nation’s Capital inside one of our restaurants.

Our award-winning spirits use all American ingredients harvested by American farmers. Originally created for our restaurant craft cocktail beverages are available to enjoy at home.
