From hormone-free beef and chicken to fresh, locally sourced vegetables, the farm-to-table movement is becoming more popular across the country. In Pennsylvania, numerous restaurateurs have embraced the message of sustainability by becoming a full-fledged, farm-to-table establishment, providing amazing food, supporting local farmers, and passing their creative dishes on to you. For a delicious, healthy meal, head over to one of these Pennsylvania farm-to-table restaurants.
The Farm and Fisherman
Owned by the husband-and-wife team of Josh and Colleen Lawler, The Farm and Fisherman in Philadelphia gained immediate praise and attention for its no-waste policies. The couple makes use of every part of the animal and plant, whether it’s by crafting unique dishes such as beef heart or making a stock or base for a soup.
What’s even more interesting is that the Lawlers don’t use any walk-in fridges at the restaurant, instead relying on all the freshest ingredients and age-tested butchering techniques. With only 30 seats, it’s an exclusive adventure, so arrive early.
Two Rivers Brewing Co.
Located in Easton, Two Rivers Brewing Co. is where Lehigh Valley goes for beers and burgers. With executive chef Jeremy Bialker at the helm, Two Rivers provides some delicious entrees, including their award-winning burger with sides sourced directly from the Easton Farmers Market. Pair it with the Pine St. Blond Ale for a match made in heaven.
Whether you love a huge rack of ribs or a massive pile of kale, these Pennsylvania restaurants are proving that farm-to-table isn’t just a movement. It’s the future of restaurants. The best part is that your taste buds get to reap the benefits.
