MoCo's Founding Farmers

Founding Farmers & Distillers, located in downtown Washington, DC's Mt. Vernon Square, offers a diverse menu inspired by American classics and nearby Chinatown. Open 365 days a year, we proudly serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and our decadent weekend Farmers Market Buffet Brunch, all made from scratch using high-quality ingredients sourced from farmers we know and trust. Enjoy our outdoor patio seating with cozy fire pits (available first come first serve).

Our in-house distillery, Founding Spirits, crafts unique cocktails that pair perfectly with our dishes.

Whether you’re dining with us, grabbing a coffee from our First Bake Cafe, or celebrating a special event in our private spaces, our farmer-owned restaurant is committed to sustainability and community.
