Farmers Diner considering PLG for new restaurant

This just in, from PLGer Skei Saulnier:

Sunday night, Dec. 6, Tod Murphy, the creator of The Farmers Diner is coming to our neighborhood to meet with neighbors and small scale local investors to consider expanding this small chain of local/sustainable family restaurants in our neighborhood.

The Farmers Diner mainly relies on ingredients that come from local growers and producers. They got national attention from the Times and Food publications when they opened up their first restaurant in Vermont.  They offer traditional diner favorites made from local area produce and farmers. 

Check out their website http://www.farmersdiner.com and please join me in welcoming Tod and Denise to our neighborhood. This is crucial moment in our neighborhoods development.  It's vital that we all come out and show support for this venture if we want to make it a reality. I hope to see you all tomorrow!

When:  Sunday, December 6th at 6 pm

Where: 42 Midwood St between Flatbush and Bedford

Contact: skeisaulnier at gmail.com or  917.309.3569

Exciting, no? Hope you can make it! If not, we'll let you know what we find out...

This is amazing news. I grew up in middlebury, where they have just opened a second location. The Farmer's Diner was one of the key founders of the locavore ethic (for a great piece on them read Bill Mckibben's 2003 Harper's essay "Small World". A Farmer's Diner in PLG would be a destination for foodies from all over NYC, and a huge addition to our neighborhood. We should really make a concerted effort to encourage them to come here. I'll donate a gallon of Brooklyn blackberries next august.
