The trendy and gigantic menu ranges from playful small plates (heirloom cheese puffs, cinnamon and brown sugar bacon lollipops), to not-kidding-around entrees (the showstopper fisherman's pasta: mussels, shrimp, lobster, white fish, crab, scallops and tuna meatballs in a lobster tomato saffron broth. Woah.)

Breakfast is traditional-gone-green, with farm fresh eggs, organic oatmeal and farmhouse waffles.

But don't think this is something akin to your local greenmarket. DC blogger Capital Spice got an early preview and offers some first impressions of the massive bi-level space:

Founding Farmers is huge--with three communal tables seating 10 or more each and a number of round booths decorated to look like segments of a grain silo it can easily seat as many as 250 guests on two levels at any given time....

But it's the little touches that make you smile despite yourself--the wrench used as a door handle in the men's bathroom, the "flock" of light fixtures above you as you walk up to the second floor dining room.

Now this sounds like a farm even us city kids can get on board with.
