Eating at a farm to table restaurant has many benefits. Including better quality of food choices, reducing the amount of pesticides in your meal, supporting local farmers, and even helping to reduce your carbon foot print.
Eating at a farm to table restaurant gives such a unique eating experience, from the atmosphere, to the seasonal eating options and the satisfaction of eating a hot meal that is providing nutrients to the body. Nobody likes the thought of ingesting a plate full of chemicals so try a farm to table restaurant to reduce exposure. Eating at a chain restaurant could cost you a healthy portion of veggies, grains, and protein. But you are exposing yourself to microwaved foods, no organic food options and the lack of social spaces.
Not only do these restaurant choices provide sustainable food options, they also practice environmentally friendly disposable processes. This means they either recycle, use compost bins for leftover scraps, or use recycled material for their utensils.
