Farmer’s Road: A Soon-to-Be Staple for Young, Local Families

As a young parent, I am looking for two things in a “fast” food restaurant:
1. Healthy food options at an affordable price
2. A drive thru option for times when I am in a rush, the baby is sleeping, or my kids are acting like they have been possessed (and I know that if I am seen in public with them acting this way, someone will give me the parental stink eye which I hate).

Farmer’s Road Drive Thru, which opens in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania on Monday April 22, meets both of these requirements. Our family had the opportunity to attend a Grand Opening event Sunday night, and I will say we were impressed! The whole restaurant is decorated in the modern rustic decor which is reminiscent of rooms seen on the pages of Country Living magazine.

The restaurant, owned by Courtney Rozcas (pictured below, also owns Lotus Farm to Table in Media, PA), will serve “better for you” fast food options, with 80% of produce and 100% of poultry and meat coming from local farmers.

My boys were thrilled with the menu options available at Farmer’s Road.  I will say I was a bit embarrassed with the amount of food they consumed, but based on their rave reviews, we will definitely be back. Below is a picture of Buddy double fisting the Apple Sandwich and the {amazing} popcorn:

A favorite with both boys was the Apple Sandwich – local cheddar, local organic American cheese, Granny Smith apple, raw honey, and maple sourdough bread.

Little Guy inhaled a Buffalo Blue wrap, which included all natural chicken breast, hot sauce, blue cheese, watercress, romaine, and kettle cooked potato chips.

Buddy also was a big fan of the burger which included grass fed beef, local organic American cheese, turkey bacon, house dill pickle, lettuce, low sodium mustard, and a multigrain bun.  My husband, on the other hand, preferred the Stadium Dog, and all-natural grass fed beef hot dog, sodium-free sauerkraut, low-sodium yellow mustard, and a rye pretzel hot dog bun.

Farmer’s Road also offers gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options, as well as all natural sodas from New Hope Soda fountain.  Try the Huckleberry Soda – trust me!

The boys also enjoyed an activity which involved planting some sage for our garden (recipe for grapefruit hummus included!):

Come try this “better for you” fast food for yourself.  Visit Farmer’s Road Drive Thru at intersection of Rt. 1 and Rt. 202 in Chadds Ford.

Note: I was provided the opportunity to attend a tasting in exchange for this review.  All opinions here are my own (and my children’s) and have not been influenced by Farmer’s Road Drive Thru.

    This isn’t far from my parent’s house… sounds like a place to check out when we are there for a visit. Love when independent places like this feature local foods – something I am a huge supporter of!
