Friend of a Farmer - Farm-to-Table Restaurant - Franchise

Our Story

Since 1986, Friend of a Farmer has been a pioneer in the farm-to-table movement. We have cultivated an unparalleled reputation for seasonally fresh and local ingredients in an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in New York City. From our menu to our space, we take great pride in delivering a comfortable, yet evocative, dining experience that transports our guests to that warm nostalgia found only in the countryside.

Thirty-five years later, Friend of a Farmer has remained a family owned and operated business that has stayed true to its roots and concepts. We have leveraged our success and longevity as a platform to support other local businesses within our community, promote sustainability and reduce our environmental footprint, and deliver high quality dining to our guests.

As visionaries in the farm-to-table movement, Friend of a Farmer continues to push what has become a grassroots movement forward through franchise opportunities. We have mastered the operations of running a wholesome restaurant with a wholesome menu, and hope to share our success with our franchise owners.
