Introducing our new zero-proof collection 🍹 After months of R&D, our beverage team at Founding Farmers Alexandria has perfected a lineup of zero-proof sips that don't compromise on complexity or flavor. Our development process involved testing dozens of ingredient combinations, sourcing unique botanicals, and refining techniques to build layered flavor profiles without alcohol. From house-made syrups to creative infusions, every element was designed to deliver the sophistication and balance our guests expect with our cocktails. These aren't just "drinks without alcohol" – they're thoughtfully crafted beverages that stand on their own merit, perfect for business lunches, celebrations, or any occasion where great taste matters. Explore our new alcohol-free options at Founding Farmers Alexandria on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/ewBrC9bK #FoundingFarmers #Mocktails #ZeroProof #NonAlcoholic #NewMenuItems
About us
We are proud to be named one of the BEST PLACES TO WORK in the DC metro area by the Washington Business Journal. Founding Farmers Restaurant Group is a concept development and restaurant management company. Our collection of restaurants is owned by more than 50,000 family farmers of the North Dakota Farmers Union, serving American inspired food and drink with an emphasis on cooking from scratch. While our restaurant is supplied by hundreds of family farms everywhere, that doesn’t mean we know every farm, and that doesn’t mean we never have to buy product from the traditional (corporate) supply chain; it does mean we’re working hard to direct our purchasing dollars where it aligns with our values. We’re serving the best food we can, made from scratch in our kitchens every day. Our innovative, American dishes are made primarily with pure ingredients honoring the farmers and their hard-earned bounty. Currently, our restaurants include flagship location Founding Farmers DC, MoCo's Founding Farmers, Founding Farmers Tysons, Founding Farmers King of Prussia, Founding Farmers Reston Station, Founding Farmers and Distillers, and Founding Farmers Fishers Bakers.

In case you missed it, our Co-Founder Dan Simons gave a TEDx Talk making the business case for mental health support in the workplace. In Dan's talk “You Don’t Have to Choose Between People & Profit” he explains that the secret to outperforming your competition and increasing productivity and profit isn't only through better technology and processes – it's done through culture shifts and operational tactics that break down walls and encourage welcoming the whole employee at work by getting rid of the typical "leave your problems at the door" mentality. Essentially, mental health support equals competitive business strategy. These shifts will allow you to optimize the health and productivity of your people and your company.

You don’t have to choose between people and profit. 17 years and growth to $100M+ in annual revenue taught me this: The highest-performing teams aren't the ones with the best perks. They're the ones where people can show up as whole humans — supported, understood, embraced — and thus able to bring their best to work. Mental health isn't touchy-feely HR stuff. It's operations. It's productivity. It's profit. Watch my TEDx Talk to see why optimizing your human operating system is the smartest business strategy you’ll ever use.

There's something special about making sodas the old-fashioned way. We've been handcrafting our scratch sodas with real ingredients for years—mixing each one in-house using unpasteurized fruit juices, house-made honey syrup, fresh herbs and roots, and filtered carbonated water. From tart grapefruit and citrusy orange to tangy hibiscus and warming ginger, these sodas are about celebrating fresh flavor and simplicity. No synthetic sweeteners, no chemical preservatives—just ingredients you actually recognize. It's part of our commitment to transparency and sourcing quality ingredients. We believe food and drink should be made with care, using methods that honor the ingredients themselves. Sometimes the best way forward is to look back at how things were done before shortcuts became the norm.
