Harvesting the Finest in Eco-Friendly Food and Drink

Our sister restaurant, Founding Farmers, celebrated its second anniversary in September. Since opening, the restaurant has been reviewed by Yelpers more than 780 times – more than one review per day. Dan Simons, Managing Partner of Farmers & Fishers and Concept Developer of Founding Farmers, has responded to every single one of those reviews.

He and his commitment to interacting with every guest who takes time to comment on their experience, is the subject of today’s Yelp Web Log.

This Saturday, more than 30 neighborhood restaurants will serve sweet and savory treats at the 17th annual Taste of Georgetown. Visit Chef Nappo at the Farmer & Fishers booth to enjoy two Heritage Truck-Style Tacos for $5. Choose from Chicken, Apples and Goat Cheese or Long Roasted Pork served in corn tortillas. The perfect comfort food for a crisp Fall afternoon.

After you’ve satisfied your appetite, stop by the wine and spirits tent to quench your thirst. Chief Mixologist, Jon Arroyo, will serve a White Wine Sangria Spritzer with St. Germain Elderflower liqueur.

The event runs from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on Wisconsin Ave & M St NW. Live jazz will fill the Autumn air as attendees sample unique Georgetown fare.

On Saturday, September 11 Founding Farmers and Farmers & Fishers will sample menu items at the Arts on Foot annual festival in Penn Quarter 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. Executive Chef Al Nappo will serve scrumptious treats from both restaurants.

Enjoy Founding Farmers’ homemade potato chips with a duo of romesco and green goddess shmears or Farmers & Fishers’ chocolate-dipped bacon lollipops as you watch stage performances by local musicians and entertainers, or peruse the aisles of art vendors.

Enjoying a summer cocktail in the picturesque Washington Harbour, doesn’t have to mean drinking your gin & tonic from a plastic cup.
