Nourish the soul and excite the palate
Earth-to-table cuisine using our fields as the chef’s pantry.
To my cherished guests, friends and community:
With a full heart and profound reflection, I share one of the most difficult decisions of my life: The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm will close on August 31, 2025.
There comes a moment when we must honor the natural rhythm of life and embrace change. That moment has arrived. What began as a dream blossomed into a beautiful chapter - a place rooted in purpose and filled with meaning. Never could I have imagined how deeply this restaurant would shape my life, nor how many treasured memories would be written within its walls and across its fields.
This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the years, I've had the privilege of welcoming guests who became friends, who entrusted us with their celebrations, their stories, and their time. In turn, I shared pieces of my own life with you - through every seasonal dish, quiet sunsets, joyful toasts, and earnest goodbyes.
It has been my honor to work alongside passionate farmers, artisan producers, winemakers, brewers, and purveyors whose dedication has been the backbone of our mission. Together, we honored the land, celebrated the bounty of our region, and upheld a vision of sustainability and connection with the earth.
To our remarkable team-past and present - you have been the heart and soul of Patowmack Farm. Chefs, cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, managers, and more -you brought light, integrity, and excellence to every plate and every guest experience. You believed in this place, and in me, and I will always carry your spirit with me. Watching you grow has been a true joy.
Now, as I move into the next season of life, I do so with immense gratitude. I look forward to slow mornings, deep conversations, new adventures, and most of all, precious time with my family.
From the depths of my heart, thank you. I treasure every memory, every moment, and every one of you. May you continue to live in celebration of life, community, and the beauty of shared experience.
With love always,
Beverly

"We should always have three friends in our lives: one who walks ahead, who we look up to and follow; one who walks beside us, who is with us every step of our journey; and then, one who we reach back for and bring along after we've cleared the way." Michelle Obama
Our Fields are the Chef’s Pantry
As one of the first farm restaurants in the U.S., we have always respected where our food is sourced. Our goal is to nourish our community and our environment with a sustainable system; promote education about what we consume; and serve the freshest food from our farm along with other local ingredients. We encourage earth to table, using our fields as the chef’s pantry. The cuisine and atmosphere are the focus of every guest’s visit. The cuisine will progress through a variety of flavors, temperatures, and sensations. We aim to surprise and satisfy at each course with attention to detail creating a holistic experience that keeps the diner engaged.
Fresh ingredients brought to the kitchen are treated as a celebration. You are eating produce that was picked by the farmer, at their peak, that morning or afternoon. We believe that the combination of local sourced food and our own farm's bounty gives us the opportunity to create sophisticated food without compromising integrity.
We “nourish the soul and excite the palate”®
while guests dine in a setting only Mother Nature could create.
Reservations are required. We prepare food according to the number of reservations, allowing us the ability to pick “just enough” fresh produce making sure not to waste and to honor our sustainability practices. Our ultimate goal is to make sure you have a wonderful dining experience. It may appear we have empty table and chairs – this could be the result of how we space the reservations and when the guests arrive and leave the restaurant. Although this may be an inconvenience, we feel it leads to added value and better quality of service. We strive to provide a relaxing atmosphere and a dining experience not soon forgotten.

Thursday - Saturday from 5:00 - 7:30 p.m. Tasting Menu ONLY - $185.00 per person plus drinks, tax and gratuity

Our Farm
The farm, established in 1986, taps the full potential of the land using methods and materials benefiting the entire whole (organic/biodynamic) rather than focusing solely on short-term profits. The emphasis has always been on preserving the health of the land and enhancing our environment.
The farm was one of the first certified organic farms in Virginia.
We pledge to protect the integrity of our agricultural products using growing methods that replenish the soil and to not use chemical herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. We use conservation practices, such as planting cover crops, crop rotation, integrated pest management and protect the health of the soil. We believe that our standards are beyond the National Organic Standards. We farm with a commitment to an agriculture that strives for a balance with nature. We use methods and material of low impact to the environment. Our commitment to local, seasonal, organic fare and participating in “green” environmental practices cannot be compromised.
Our philosophy is simple: quality product; the freshest and finest seasonal ingredients; support for small local artisan growers & producers; and creating a place where nature takes care of the details. The practices that we embrace enable us to reduce food miles and share our vision with everyone who dines with us. Sharing our vision of sustainable agriculture gives the chef the ability to create menus based on the purest and most basic form: Sustainable, Seasonal and Local Ingredients.
The Restaurant
The Restaurant at Patowmack Farm presents a dining experience that is unique in and of itself. With the perfect venue: glass conservatory, gazebo, and open-air tent, guests are able to enjoy an unforgettable evening savoring organic, local, progressive cuisine while taking in one of the most spectacular views in all of Loudoun County.
Our Tasting menu is offered on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday evenings. The menus give you the opportunity to dine with cuisine that is reflective of the seasons. Add the wine pairing or mocktail pairing to the Tasting menu and experience the balance between palates.
The chef embraces the relationship to the food grown on the farm and draws from what the region has to offer, crafting a changing menu. Each course draws its inspiration from the seasons and harmony with the earth and on what the local farmers, fisherman, and foragers provide. This serves as inspiration for his contemporary cuisine.
Our passion for an ecologically sound environment is the driving force of the entire staff here at Patowmack Farm.
