From custom chandeliers and light fixtures, to a 1940 tractor in the bar, the Farmer’s Table décor presents a tasteful arrangement of rough-hewn, vintage details. The private dining area, separated from the rest of the restaurant by a working gate that doubles as a living wall of succulents, features walls that are coated in a blue jean fabric to accentuate the farmer feel. A key touch to the décor is that 80% of all materials used for decorating is reclaimed, aiding to the importance of sustainability and recycling to support the environment. Check out the benches and tables made from old car parts, tires, and vintage suitcases. One entire wall of the restaurant is all retractable glass windows and doors, bathing the entire dining space in natural light.
