New Restaurant in Richmond...

Check out the news on the Urban Farmhouse Market and Cafe, a new restaurant coming to Richmond that promises to deliver menu items made from seasonal and locally sourced produce. They're even accepting applications, for those of you looking for a more 'sustainable food' oriented job in the restaurant industry. Check out the restaurant's website. I must note that the RVANews article makes much of the Cafe's 'organic' menu, while the restaurant's own website makes no specific mention of a plan to use organic produce. New restaurants with sustainable food goals are all the rage these days...let's see how this one turns out.

  1. It is so interesting- the Urban Farmhouse has 334 fans on Facebook and they aren't even open yet!

  2. It looks similar to a place in DC called Founding Farmers. Everything is local/sustainable/etc, and the food is phenomenal.

    We're looking forward to this opening. Good find!

  3. 334 fans...wow! Clearly these are the kinds of restaurants people want to be eating at now. Hope it turns out delicious, since I think Richmond needs more good casual lunch places!
