The world is becoming more conscious of its lifestyle every day. With major changes like veganism and green living arising, the food industry is also looking forward to more sustainable services for everyone. One of the most exciting concepts in that direction has to be farm-to-table restaurants.
Farm fresh food has become the new gourmet dining experience and it is growing in popularity. The advantages of consuming organic, locally-grown produce are well known. The concept of “farm-to-table” generally involves using freshly grown produce that was either cultivated on one’s own organic farm or obtained through partnerships with nearby farms.
