The Farm to Table Movement
There’s no cut and dry definition of farm to table. If you find yourself wondering what the farm to table movement really is, it boils down to this: the farm to table movement
broadly refers to food made from locally-sourced ingredients, often natural or organic. Even though there isn’t an exact definition that restaurants have to adhere to in order to call themselves a farm-to-table joint, those that self-proclaim that label can be found almost everywhere, from small mid-western locales to urban centers.
