ABOUT FOUNDING FARMERS

WHO WE ARE

Founding Farmers is a collection of mission-driven restaurants, a full service catering company, a distillery, and an online shop majority owned by American family farmers with scratch-made, thoughtfully sourced food and drink. Learn more at FoundingFarmers.com or come visit one of our locations in DC, MD, VA, and PA.

Founding Spirits

Our Founding Farmers scratch-made, source-matters mission extends all the way to our spirits. 

Growing our love of handcrafted food and drink, we started crafting our own spirits in 2009, slowly and sustainably creating a line of award-winning spirits meticulously crafted and quickly beloved.

In 2016, we custom-built our very own small-batch distillery, Founding Spirits, in the heart of downtown Washington, DC inside our restaurant, Founding Farmers & Distillers.

Spirits are sold through our Founding Spirits site, so click below and we’ll take you there to shop the box starting on 11/16.
