best farm to table restaurantsIn this day and age of information at our fingertips, one thing that has become hugely popular, and rightfully so, is where our food comes from. Decades ago, it was easy to know where it came from, usually the local farmer. Now that the food industry has rapidly expanded, knowing where each bite came from can be very useful. Along with the rise of wanting to know where our food has come from is also the rise of the local farm to table restaurants. They pop up all over towns and cities and offer guests the best proteins and freshest fruits and vegetables from nearby gardens.
