Traverse City’s Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes | Eater Detroit

"Equal parts working farm, market, restaurant, and brewery, this modern Scandinavian-style barn and beer garden opened in July 2020 and has been an area darling every day since. The rotating menu always features whatever’s coming out of the Loma Farm fields. Think: blackened zucchini sandwich or tempura garlic scapes. Pair a meal with a house-brewed beer such as the East Coast pale made with Citra and Strata hops; and don’t mind the dust. Farm Club is currently constructing a second building to house its market and bakery." - Stacey Brugeman

In Northern Michigan, Summertime Is Pure Magic

"Farm Club, opened in 2020 by the team behind Loma Farm, offers locally sourced, inventive cuisine paired with exciting spirits. The venue is a working farm, market, restaurant, and brewery. Tables can be hard to come by in peak season, but the beer garden offers a great view of the fields."

Heads of the Table | Bon Appétit

"A restaurant‑market‑bakery‑brewery in Traverse City that foregrounds hyper‑local produce and a laid‑back, familial approach to farm‑to‑table: employees work weekly on the partner farm to learn the ingredients, and the dining experience is intentionally unpretentious — picnic tables, cold beers, and a direct view of the fields rather than tasting‑menu formality." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors

Farm Club Has Big Ambitions (And the Best Onion Rings) in Northern Michigan | Bon Appétit

"A barnlike hybrid of restaurant, bakery, brewery and general store reached by a short gravel spur off the TART trail, this spot brings the farm onto the table in an unpretentious, family-friendly way. Big windows and unfinished cedar siding open onto on-site plots where guests can picnic, watch kids play and wander among onion stalks; the counter sells beer, sourdough loaves, wool socks and other market goods. The operation is a collaboration between the Jonas family and the Theisens and emphasizes seasonal, hyper-local cooking: small-batch milled polenta, rotating veg-driven plates, a much-talked-about seasonal onion ring program (sometimes made with garlic scapes and served with sweet chili sauce) and a sun-warmed “hot melon” experience. The team survived pandemic, winter and local housing/labor crunches to become both a destination and neighborhood gathering spot, with CSA pickup days, a required weekly farm shift for staff, weekly “Farm Walks” between chef and farmer to plan menus, and a low-key farm-to-table ethos rather than a formal tasting-menu presentation." - ByAlex Beggs

Everything is amazing. The staff, helpful and friendly. Takes the time to explain and even chat. The setting 😍😍😍, it doesn’t get much better than this. And the food. For a vegetarian, there are enough options- the veg board and pesto pasta I had were fresh and tasty. The meat eater had the polenta, didn’t check if it was veg friendly, but he loved it. We sat outside, it was a bit chilly. They even had blankets for use. Would happily eat here again.

Mere words will not describe the superb, fresh food and ambience of Farm Club. It has so many types of food and choices of tables, enough to please any palate. We love their own wines and draught beers too! Such a genuinely rustic and organic experience. A true gem in the crown of the beautiful Leelanau peninsula.

My beautiful Soul and I love this place. We like to call it a "clean eat". The food is always beautifully prepared, the tastes are pure and clean, the aesthetic is country nice, and service is always with smiles and upbeat personality. Dining in is full of natural light with a wall of glass so see the outdoor seating. In the fall this place is so cute and comforting. Several outdoor fires where patrons gather with a drink and simply chit-chat. We recommend Farm Club to several hundred people every year through our own businesses and conversations. How many stars to give? Look to the night sky.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time, and it did not disappoint. The food is grown on the farm onsite and also down the road. The employees work on the farm and in the restaurant. Get the farm board and add cheese because it’s so good! The beans and pasta were very good, too.

My visit to Farm Club for brunch was great. I tried two of their lagers, which were excellent, and the brunch menu had lots of good sounding options. I settled on the chorizo biscuits and gravy, and that must’ve been the most flavorful example of that dish I’ve ever had. The chorizo packed a lot of savory goodness into the meal, and the biscuits themselves were also delicious. I would definitely visit again if I’m in the area. The staff was friendly, and the little store up front had lots of good looking produce for sale. It’s a really cool place.

One of my favorite all around dining experiences of anywhere I’ve been in the world. Pictures do not do it justice. If you can catch this place during a nice summer weather day, it truly does feel like a slice of paradise. The setting could not be prettier, and the food is unpretentious but so fresh and delicious.

We stopped in for drinks and a snack, and the place was hopping. We were able to squeeze in at the bar and tried a few beers and the garlic scapes (tempura battered). Everything was fresh, crisp and delicious. The atmosphere was the best part, though. A beautiful garden, flowers, open fields where people were sitting and enjoying the day are what it's all about. There's even a mini market inside the restaurant that offers cheese, dips and a variety of vegetables from the garden.

There was around an hour wait for the two of us on a Sunday night, but it was absolutely worth waiting for!!! Beautiful chic atmosphere in a wild/natural setting. The server was friendly and informative and checked in on us at just the right times. I tried the Czech pilsner and it was crisp, light, and refreshing! We shared the farmers board to start and added a smoked whitefish. All the veggies were grown there on the property and the sauces were delicious. The pickled asparagus was a shock to the tastebuds, but paired perfectly with the fish 😁 For the main course I tried the Polenta and was astonished by how flavorful it was!! My wife had the pasta with pesto and it was fresh and vibrant! Dessert was the best part though as they had a rhubarb upside down cake!!!! This is farm to table at it finest and I'm sure the ever changing menu has many more dishes waiting to impress me next time I'm in the area 😊

Loved this restaurant even though we got a bit soggy due to a rain storm. (Turned into a memorable experience. lol!) Love the farm-to-table philosophy. Had the garlic scapes. Quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten!! It's definitely a place I will go back to when I'm in the TC area.

This is a great place to go with your friends or family and sit and hang out for a bit. Everything here tastes fresh and bright. Tons of different drinks to enjoy and fresh local snacks and meals to eat. We got the some things to share for the table and we ate it all. I can't wait to come back and try some other things on the menu.

My wife and I were spending the Sunday visiting some wineries throughout the day, and a stop at the Leelanu state park. On the way back south we decided to try the Farm Club for dinner. We arrived at around 730 and there was a 45 minute wait. We found a spot at the bar and were able to order from the full menu. The bar does not do liquor, just local wines and the Farm Clubs locally brewed beers. We enjoyed the pickled egg as an appetizer, and then shared the Butter Salad and a Pasta dish that had beans and some cheeses with the fresh made tortellini noodles. The salad was amazing, with a home made butter milk dressing, and large fresh leaves and carrots. They grow everything here on their own farm and the freshness combined with the wizards in the kitchen create amazing meals,. On top of it, the staff is very sweet and helpful. They move quickly and pleasantly. Highly recommended.

Farm Club is first a working farm. The restaurant is as farm to table as you will find, and you can taste how fresh it is in the food they serve. There were comments about how this is the best lettuce anyone has ever had. I've been wanting to check it out for awhile and finally had a chance. We got lucky with the weather, we got a warm spring evening and we're able to sit outside and enjoy their relaxed space, a sloping green lawn, fairy lights, down to one of the gardens. There is an outdoor bar with drinks, including non alcoholic, and snacks. The menu is small, and as a result of being farm to table it is always changing. We got a salad and two apps to share, including the beans and broth (this one appears to be a bit more of a staple). And several mains amping the six of us. Everything was fresh and amazing, good portion sizes as well. Really great experience and we plan to return.

Few places in the state of Michigan are as truly special and intentional as Farm Club. Not only is everything locally/sustainably sourced, but it is so. Damn. Good. The chefs behind the curtain are making straight up magic with their ever changing lists of ingredients. Additionally, the beer is great. Nothing to write home about, but its simplicity compliments the truly one of a kind dishes served at Farm Club. And, to top it off, the space is absolutely GORGEOUS, and the staff is just about the chillest, kindest, Midwestern-alternative group of quasi-hippie twenty-something's with cool piercings and great one-liners. They're eager to welcome you into their home and make you feel as if it's your own. If you're anywhere near Traverse City, do NOT sleep on this place. I abstained from writing a review for it because I wanted to keep it my little secret, but after long debating I decided that both this establishment and the people of Yelp deserve to hear the many, many praises I could sing about Farm Club.

We came here at the urging of many friends who all had this on their recommendations list! It did not disappoint! It was still quite busy on a chilly earlier season Friday night for dinner and we opted to sit at the bar rather than wait for a table or sit outside. They do have beautiful outdoor seating though for those that come dressed for the occasion. Everything is super local and fresh and the flavors are amazing. We tried the walleye and the beans and broth. Both were herby and fragrant and quite filling - in fact unless you're used to eating a lot of beans, the dish is would be best shared (I could barely eat a third of it!) my spouse was in love with the salty dressing on the side salad And the turnips in the walleye were probably the best tasting turnips we've ever had! They also have a cute market with plants, niche cooking utensils/books, other cute boutique stuff, and produce to look at. It's family friendly with lots of space for kids to walk around outside and they do have changing tables in the bathroom. Would definitely come back if in the area!

Amazing amazing amazing. We were up in Traverse City from Detroit visiting some friends and they insisted we go to Farm Club for dinner. Everything was amazing. The drinks, the service, the ambience, the food, the store, and we even met the owner who was a super nice guy. Definitely will be back the next time we are in TC.

I've been wanting to come here to dine for so long and it was definitely worth the wait! Farm Club is basically what my aesthetic dreams are made of. Their branding from top to bottom is literally so cohesive and beautiful, I'm absolutely obsessed! They have a whole farm and expanse of grounds, along with the restaurant all in the same place. The restaurant is naturally very farm to table, so you get the freshest produce on your plate to enjoy. The grounds have fire pits and picnic tables for you to relax outside at and is super family friendly. Within the restaurant, there is a cooler of their own ciders and wines that they make, along with other local goods. They have a corner of more local products that are more houseware, homegoods, skincare, spa essentials, etc. And then they have YET another section that serves as sort of a farm stand! Selling some of their own produce for you to take home if you so choose! I was eyeing the purple daikon! You can browse these areas while you wait to be seated. I'd highly recommend coming during times when they aren't too busy. They don't do reservations and are pretty popular, so you are almost always going to be guaranteed to have to wait, unless you go during opening, in the middle of the week, or towards the end of the night about 1-2 hours before they close. The menu is constantly rotating depending on what time of year it is and what produce they have available. The portions are definitely smaller and things are a bit more elevated in price, but when I look at this menu, I see so many unique combinations of ingredients that I rarely ever see on other menus, so I definitely think it's worth it to treat yourself to an experience here! Absolutely delightful and I'll definitely be recommending Farm Club to all who come to the TC area!

Thankfully, one of the workers at York in A2 suggested this place. I don't think that I would have otherwise found it for the short long weekend trip we planned for my 50th b-day this past January. We honestly could not have been happier... the staff was absolutely AMAZING. They were so friendly and engaging and made exceptional suggestions. The food is just spectacular. We really enjoyed everything we had, but the cider mimosas and the sausage really stood out. There's really nothing you could do to choose wrong here. Really would like to go back another time in the summer when we could sit outside and enjoy the beautiful outdoor seating area. The indoor seating is also very crisp and clean. I bought some greens and their amazing salad dressing to take home. Both amazing. Just love this place.

What a unique dining experience we had today! My wife's old collage roomy had a birthday so we drove up to Sutton's Bay & met them at this organic farm property with a warm & very cool vibe going. I never dreamed I'd enjoy a veggie luncheon so much. Perhaps 2 proteins on their menu. Sauces where smooth and the Black Bean dip was to die for. Minced Chicken liver pâté with a raspberry jam topping Gracie our server was sooo cool & we all loved her tats. Great house brewed beers and local wines from the length of Mission Pointe. Very upscale clinical from all midwestern states. Sutton's Bay was wild with a great street fair too

Just had dinner at Farm Club in Traverse City. Set on a beautiful property in Michigan farmland, their food is what we will measure our culinary experiences by for the rest of our stay. They have not only raised the bar, they're at the top of the bar! For dinner, we ordered the Arugula and Beet Salad (a must)! With the addition of the preserved orange peels, it proved that they are willing to take the time to add that extra ingredient for it to stand out from all the rest. We also had the Toast on seeded bread with ricotta and fennel (great!), the Polenta which my husband really enjoyed (I'm not a polenta fan myself, but I still tasted it and it was quite good)! And finally, the Tempura Garlic Scapes. I don't know what kind of magic wand they waved over them before they sent them out, but the flavor, texture and presentation were perfect! (Bravo chefs!) After trying these four dishes, I only wish we were staying in town longer to go back again and again to try every single dish on their menu and the breads and sweets they sell in the restaurant. I would love to be here seasonally to try all the dishes with produce they grow themselves. After dinner, we were fortunate enough to meet one of the owners (Gary) who was just as pleasant as the food was great! As chefs ourselves and fellow food service professionals, we're always routing for those who are taking the time to do it right and want them to keep succeeding!! Farm Club, you are, and you will! Thank you for a great meal and great experience!

I was in town for a conference, and someone recommended this place. I looked it up, didn't even look at the menu, and decided that we had to go. Beyond being a restaurant, it's a destination in and of itself, featuring a mini grocery store that sells random home goods and gifts in addition to locally produced produce and food. The restaurant itself is expansive, including both indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted for outdoor in spite of it being a cool rain. There's a big patio area, too, with a fire pit and a scenic view of one of the few expanses of land in this state that isn't covered with strip malls or vinyl-sided substandard housing. In terms of culinary style, the food is all over the map. We regretted not getting the onion rings, which had been highly recommended to me ($16, and quite a bit fancier than your average bar fare), but did opt for a stellar arugula salad (caramelized onion vinaigrette, heirloom tomatoes, shaved gouda, sunflower seeds, $17), a potato green chile (chili), and a thai green curry. Other contenders included shishito peppers (big these days, $16), gemelli pasta (ratatouille with vegetables, $23) and a whitefish escabeche (mushroom, potato, tomato and herb relish, $30). The menu's description of the potato dish promised a "mountain" of roasted chiles, but it lacked spice, we thought. Still a tasty and hearty stew, but not the spicy that we had wanted. The Thai curry, featuring that kind of braised chicken that makes your tastebuds go, "ah, yes, THIS is what this bird is supposed to taste like," felt similarly somewhat a bit timid, but with better depth of flavor, and the preparation of both dishes was overall perfect. We skipped dessert (slow-roasted stone fruit with gingersnap crumble and mascarpone, $11, or mint panna cotta with chocolate crispies, $13). A full drink menu includes wines and beers, including beers brewed by Farm Club (Czech pilsner, Chamomile Saison, Dry and Fresh Hop Farmhouse, and more).

The Farm Club was so cute inside and had the coolest merch and little market with fresh fruits and vegetables. We had the black Cherry cream soda which was delicious!!! I got the Polenta which was very good, you'll love it if you like cheese!! The only minus was the Cesar salad, I'm not sure if it was the dressing or the lettuce but it tasted a little off. Overall great experience, super cute place and good fresh food! I actually found it by seeing tik tok reviews or else I would've never known about it!

Great food and ambience. My salad, despite its simplicity, was one of the best I've ever had. I've been trying to replicate it without success. If you want to bike here it's literally a block off the trail. Arrive early because the line start 15 minutes before opening.

Always excellent. We visited twice last week when we were in town. Highly recommend the farm board, egg and rye, and pazole if it is a Thursday and you could get it! Service is fantastic and the ambiance.. there's not much that could compare with what they have to offer. It does get busy on nights and weekends, but the food is hearty and healthy and worth the wait.

We had a fantastic afternoon lunch at Farm Club. We had the pickled egg with rye, tempura zucchini for starters. Then the three of us shared a grilled zucchini sandwich, gemelli pasta, and the polenta. We jumped into each dish to fast to take pictures. Everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed the dark Czech lager! This is a definite don't miss!!!

If you are familiar with The Upper Peninsula of Michigan, then you know life is so fair up here, wild Salmon swim upstream simply to die here, burnishing with their last dying "glug" the opportunity for their baby salmons to get the best shot at life attending mother nature's Harvard. The theme of this part of the world is everything is real and better than wherever you grew up. It starts with "the air is so good up here" followed by other nimrod realizations like "the water is so clear!" The same kind of daft and profound half-baked epiphanies await you at Farm Club, a restaurant literally on a farm producing 90% of its produce to use at the on-site restaurant. Seemingly inspired by the business model of Blue Hill at Stone Barns in upstate New York, you will get the carrots grown on site if they are in season and exclaim, "Wow! That carrot is real!" That pazole is real! That pork shoulder is real! All as if you have never had them before in your life, even after having had them many times before. It's hard to recommend anything because by the time you get here, in all probability the menu will be entirely different based on the yields of the farm. It seems like word is out on this place, as many a land cruisers and land rover seems to crowd the parking lot with "suburb adventurers." There are definitely elements catering to that Paltrow, Goop crowd in the gift shop. Get yourself a stylish basic to commemorate your pilgrimage. There is no shame in that game; honestly, restaurants have to make money, and that crowd has money. The pork polenta cake I ate had layers of texture and flavor with fried pork rinds mixed into the batter. Alongside the reality of the ingredients of these dishes having a lot of integrity, the execution of these dishes absolutely highlights the quality. As someone who adores this industry, it's always refreshing to step into a restaurant where you see the chefs clearly love their jobs, and the staff serve it flawlessly. You are in for a real treat.

SERVICE: 3 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 4 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 4 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.42 We made reservations after hearing about their famous reputation of farm to table food from many magazines like Condé Nast. The restaurant is a very large farmhouse with a massive outdoor seating area. We arrived early so we went out back and got some drinks. The bartender was extremely helpful and funny. I went with the riwaka lager which was delicious. Sitting in the farm, soaking in the sun with a crisp, delicious beer was such an amazing experience. We really soaked it in while we waited for our dinner reservation. For dinner I ordered the gemelli pasta and a montmorency cherry farmhouse. The beer was the best beer I've had in all of Traverse City. If they have this beer on their menu then don't miss out on ordering it. The pasta was wonderful. Cooked to perfection, and every bite was very rich and creamy. For dessert I ordered the Panna Cotta. It had cocoa pebbles in it which made it very unique. It wasn't my favorite dessert, but it was pretty good. They have a small menu so make sure to check it out online before going to ensure they have something you will enjoy. Overall, the restaurant was everything we read about with the exception of one small issue. We had some service issues for dinner. My partners mother couldn't eat the blue cheese on the salad, and requested feta. Our server told us that wasn't possible. My degree, and experience is in the world of hospitality, and I was extremely shocked to hear that feta couldn't be added to a salad. They were able to remove the blue cheese, but unable to give a customer a side of feta. Didn't seem unreasonable to me, but if this is common practice they might want to reconsider their approach to customer requests. Little things like a side of cheese is the difference between a 4 to 5 star review.

Another stellar meal at the Farm Club! My husband and I split the Toast for a starter. It was the only thing we tried that I wouldn't order again. The sunflower pesto butter didn't add much flavor, but the seedy bread was really good. It needed to be toasted more though. I LOVED the Pork Duo I ordered as my main. The braised pork shoulder polenta cake was so delightfully crisp that it was my favorite part of the meal. It was topped with a sunny side up egg whose yolk provided a rich sauce to the pork cake. The accompanying potatoes were flavorful and the caramelized onion soubise was one of the best sauces I've ever had. I really liked the hot link sausage, and its spice made the whole dish more interesting. I would order this again in a heartbeat. My husband loved the Pan-Seared Walleye. I tried some and it was a perfectly delicate preparation. An absolutely delicious piece of fish. We both got the Apple Sticky Toffee Pudding and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten! Tasting more of caramel then apple, the pudding was more like a really moist square of cake. I loved it!

After an early-evening hike, my husband and I were hungry for dinner, but didn't feel "presentable" enough to dine in at a restaurant. We had been to Farm Club on a previous weekend getaway, thoroughly enjoyed it and remembered that they had outdoor seating. This sounded like the perfect way for us to have a quality dining experience without feeling out of place. Because the evening was chilly and not many people chose to dine outdoors, we had a picnic table and a fire pit to ourselves. Farm Club provided blankets which added to the cozy ambiance. We started by enjoying a couple of beers and some onion rings around the fire. When our dinners arrived, we moved to the nearby picnic table to eat. Everything was tasty and came out promptly. Service started out great, but unfortunately lagged at the end. Perhaps, it got busy inside and we were forgotten, but we waited a good 15-20 minutes after finishing before we were able to get our bill and boxes. It wouldn't have been an issue if it hadn't really cooled down by this point. Another reason for taking off a star would be a charge for extra rice. I had the Thai Green Curry, which at $24 is significantly more expensive than I've paid for this dish at other places. It included very little rice and so I requested a bit more. I was told I could order a side of rice for either $3 or $4 (I can't remember exactly) additional. I just felt this was unfair, based on the cost of rice, the dish itself and the amount provided. Overall, we still love Farm Club and will return in a heartbeat.

We were recommended by a 'foodie friend' who always knows where to send us around Traverse area. Had an AMAZING dinner here! We shared the Idyll Farms goat cheese on toast and the heirloom tomatoes for starters. I had the gemelli for my main & husband had the polenta. Wow! So. Darn. Good. Before we finished, we were already planning on going back the next day! The place is amazing, market and grab & go stuff inside. Lots of sliding doors to the outside area, which is just lovely. We ate outside around 5:30pm in mid-September, and really enjoyed it.

This is a review for weekend brunch. Came here on a Saturday for brunch in the winter. No wait to get a table. Service was friendly and efficient. Highlights from our meal include the blue corn pancakes, huevos rancheros and the corned beef hash. They were out of the kimchi fritters but those seem to be a popular dish worth trying. Our food was good. Nothing stood out as exceptional. Slightly overpriced. Would like to come back for beer in the summer to see what it's like. Great space, with views of the farm and lots of open, natural light.

My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to Farm Club. We were riding our bikes from Traverse City to Sutton's Bay and stopped to experience a bit of Farm Club. We were there around 3:00, so we had already had lunch but wanted to try a beer. We opted for the Elderflower Farmhouse and really liked it. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to sit and enjoy some food or a drink. Next time I am in the area, I will plan better and have some lunch or dinner.

overrated. the worst service we've ever had in traverse city/possibly the world. so many better gems exist in traverse city now - recommend going elsewhere if you don't want to be served by an overfed/undertrained teen with an attitude problem

This place went above and beyond what I thought the food scene would be like here in Northern Michigan! Every dish was delicious and the flavors were so creative. We loved everything we got and service was quick. And the ambience of this place really takes it over the top. Also loved the cute market up in the front, and the farm club merch! A must try!

A truly farm to table experience. The dishes used hyper local produce and only items that were in season. We enjoyed everything we tried and will definitely be back! They do not take reservations so we did arrive before 5pm to ensure we would be seated right away.

My favorite restaurant in NoMI. A great place to sit outside during the warmer months (and colder months too if a fire is going) , and the inside is super calm & cozy. The Farm Board is lovely to share with the table - add the smoked whitefish. The crispy friend kale is great to snack on (with a cold beer) while you glance over the menu. The Gemelli Pasta is super rich and tasty- never disappoints. During my most recent visit I ordered the Smoked Beet Reuben - SO TASTY. A great space with great food. Order some bread to take home with you on your way out!

Farm Club is an experience from the moment you walk-in to the moment you leave. From the food, to the service, to the built environment it's a place you want to be and to linger. So many good dishes from the corn nuts to scapes, to the polenta. We will be back!

REALLY IMPRESSIVE! From the gift shoppe with its random offerings to the adjacent produce market it was all beautifully presented and borderline opulent. We didn't get the opportunity to eat here but rather caught a beer and walked the grounds to simply.... enjoy the world for a few moments. This place is therapeutic to linger at.... the bonfires and the wood smoke, the colorful garden, rolling hills. It was all a prescription for chill, and so appreciated. I can't get into the food or describing the beer or any of that because I was transfixed by the atmosphere here being just a little lighter and happier and soulful. Come see for yourself!.

Food, drinks, service all good. The foul mouthed music playing was offensive. I will not return and though there were activities provided for children, I would NEVER take my children there as a result.

it is too bad that the owners playlist was thought to be appropriate. His choice was very inappropriate and when asked why it was NOT discontinued we were informed he had left. The F word, penis, stuff the woman in the trunk and other offensive garbage was blasted for all including children running around. It is a shame that while trying to enjoy the beauty of this venue we just wanted to leave! it is no wonder kids struggle because adults cant set good examples...SAD!

Exceptional experience! Visited on a cozy, rainy October night. The service was great and attentive. The interior is Scandinavian, cozy, warm, and welcoming! Farm Club specializes in local produce and livestock, farm to table cuisine. They also brew their own craft beer in house. Wood burning fireplace was roaring when we walked in and it gave off a rich, woodsy scent. Food was fresh, healthy, and delicious. Left feeling full and well fed! Will return again!

Stopped in on our first day in town last week and was pleasantly surprised by greeted by a beautiful farm, gorgeous zinnias, a very cute shop with high end artisanal snacks, pantry items, art supplies, home decor (like mugs, candles), bath products, kitchen ware, cookbooks, and more. Plus a small grocery area with local produce and grab and go refrigerated items and beverages (including wine and beer!). There's plenty of seating outdoors and indoors is so bright and airy with floor to ceiling windows and plenty of space between tables. It's the epitome of good ventilation if you're wanting to eat inside. We were looking to get takeout to bring back to the rest of the family at our rental house and they kindly took our order to-go. I ordered the ploughman's platter (a smattering of veggies, smoked local trout, cheese, salami, and two types of their delicious bread) and the tomato toast (blistered tomatoes, ricotta, caramelized onions, and greens. OMG SO GOOD). Both dishes were perfect for grazing on for dinner and the ploughman's was large enough that I had leftovers for lunch the next day! We also got a 6 pack of their house brewed IPA beer and a few bottles of their wine and I got a bottle of Bea's Squeeze (made in Detroit!) rose lemonade. From the market I also purchased a beautiful can of olive oil, a bottle of small batch maple syrup, a chocolate bar for s'mores, and some stickers. I look forward to coming back again next year and hopefully having more of a sit down experience taking in their beautiful views and eats straight out of the kitchen.

On the whole I would rate our experience as sub-par. First, a warning: AVOID DINING HERE ON TUESDAYS. They apparently let individuals who own shares in the farm come in for special dining on Tuesdays. As a result, we had to wait over an hour and a half for a table. And they seat shareholders ahead of other diners, even if you arrive before them. We would have avoided the wait and gone somewhere else, but when we called twice at least 30 minutes before arriving, they didn't answer their phones. Once we were finally seated and ordered, the food was pretty average. The highlight our meal was a single hard-boiled egg served on a piece of rye bread with pickled onions. The chicken on the torta was dry and flavorless. And the beans and broth soup was good but the broth left something to be desired. We also ordered a Romain Caesar salad which was fine. In general, the highlight of our experience was choosing to support a farm-to-table restaurant. But we didn't get much back in return. Was not worth the drive we made to specifically dine here.

Great fresh food. Awesome unique menu. Wonderful service. And a great brewery. What could be better. Ah yes...the beautiful rural setting.

Stunning spot, inside and out. We'd read a few articles that mentioned Farm Club, then planned on visiting on a Tuesday in October. It was nothing short of remarkable. After reading about the crowds, we decided to show up early (around 6 pm) on a beautiful fall day. The host gave us a half hour wait time, and invited us to enjoy the outdoor bar in the meantime. We soaked in the fall sunshine and the vibes -- all perfect. There are fire pits and picnic tables and great wines to try... what more could you want? Families were running around on the lawn; people were arriving by bicycle. It seemed like a true farm-to-table community gathering place. So lovely. We were able to keep tabs on our spot in line in real time, via the link you get texted when you put your name down. We were seated around 30 minutes after checking in, and decided to try four dishes: toast with fennel and ricotta; the delicata squash and arugula salad; green curry with mushrooms; beans and broth. Each dish was more fantastic than the next. Staff was so wonderful and helped guide our experience. Wines are in collab with local wineries. My only complaint is they ran out of dessert before we got to order one... a great sign! ;-) We loved it so much we returned two nights later and tried more dishes. We left with a Farm Club sweatshirt and memories of our magical meals. Can't wait to come back. p.s. Pro tip: if sitting outside and ordering by QR code, put your courses in individually (i.e. submit an order for drinks and apps first, then mains, etc.). This way everything doesn't come out all at once.

Been here twice, (in May and last summer), and I've had great experiences both times. Fresh and innovative farm to table food with attentive and friendly service and beautiful surroundings. I've eaten both inside and outside too. On my last visit I had their warm panzella and my both my friends had their bok choy & polenta, and we all really liked our food. In addition to being a restaurant they also have a little 'gift shop' and they sell some food items such as vegetables from a local farm. Their menu is a bit limited and their dishes could be $2 less per entree based on the portion, but that can easily be overlooked based on other factors. If you ever see them selling their sesame cookies, be sure to get one as they are delicious! This place is popular so expect at least a 30m wait on most nights. However, there is a back area where you can grab a drink and hang while you wait for your table.

This place is spectacular. Came here for dinner and got a table beer and mixed white wine for my wife. We did not wait long for a table. We ate outside on one of the picnic tables. The service is quick and food came out quickly. Started with the kale chips, I had the chicken tortini. My wife had the salad, and my son had the buttered noodles. We all loved our meal and the atmosphere. We are coming back again! Go go go here.
