Okay, I have had a vacation house in Boone for over 23 years ..even one of my kids went to App…read moreState, and I really feel ashamed I have not noticed FARM over the thousands of times I have walked down King Street. Dori and I were looking for lunch one day while visiting Boone, and ended up in FARM, mainly due to visiting Boone Belles right next door. What was an accidental encounter turned in a fantastically spiritual experience. Like all my write ups, I am giving my opinion based on the type of restaurant, service level expectation and the price. The business model is to feed everyone who walks in whether you can pay for it or not. You can eat for free, pay $10 (or as much as you like), buy food tokens to leave in the token jar (passing on a meal) or work off your food in the kitchen or helping out... again as much or little as you want. The atmosphere is what your would expect in a cafeteria with folks servicing you off the line. The food is fresh farm to table and you only pay $10 for your meal, of which they have few options and basically tell what you can order. ... the food for the price was exceptional. There were folks from all walks of life from well off families to homeless folks off the street. The tables are tight and few in number, but not so much to be instructive. They are close enough to do one of my favorite things, meeting people and hearing their stories. So eat, meet and move on to make room for others. You really can miss it if you do not know it's there...look for it tucked away between Boone Belles and the Horton Hotel. In summary, if you are looking for a different dinner adventure, a good meal for services and price, and want to do some good in the world please check out the FARM Restaurant.

Hands down the best mocktail I've ever had was a blackberry mule - it was a bit spicy but not overpowering. Delicious. The tomato Gouda soup was rich and creamy, and the sourdough on the grilled cheese had that perfect crunch and they added thick bacon for me. The Habana plate was a great savory addition to the table. Definitely a standout spot downtown!

I am not such a big fan of southern food but this was freaking PHENOMENAL!! That's saying a lot coming from me! The people working there were so sweet and food came out so fast!

Every single item was the best southern food I have had!!! Will forever be recommending here and will definitely be a life long patron whenever I come to the mountains!

I tried a pumpkin beer while Steve went for an espresso martini--both were fantastic choices for a fall afternoon. Since portions are usually huge when traveling and we don't like carrying leftovers, we decided to share the Tuna Poke Power Bowl ($20). It came with quinoa and spring mix as the base, topped with edamame, cucumbers, guacamole, cabbage, crispy wontons, and fresh ahi tuna. It was flavorful and beautifully presented, though I honestly couldn't find much quinoa--it felt more like a salad than a grain bowl. Still, everything tasted fresh, the service was wonderful, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're exploring Boone!

This restaurant makes it possible.. I was told that they not add any salt to any of their items except to the vegetables and you can request it no salt and season it yourself. I had the create-your-own-bowl with the quinoa, kale and shredded beef, and it was so good. My husband had the turkey burned ends flatbread and his was equally good, I will order it next time. The ambience is nice, service is outstanding. I highly recommend. This was my birthday lunch and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The sandwich and quiche both tasted good, but not unlike something you could get anywhere else. Service: The service was average for a small shop, a normal amount of wait for food to be ready. Ambiance: I think the ambiance of the place makes up for the food. On a cold day, this place provides a very warm "small town" feel. The wood furniture and open windows lets you peer outside and really feel the warm contrast between the weather outside and inside while you eat.

There were initially no tables available once we ordered, but someone who had finished her meal quickly made her table available for us. We then noticed that all tables have a little sign requesting that tables be given to those who are dining, so that anyone who is just hanging out after their meal is courteous to those who wait. Food came out fairly quickly. I had a chai latte and hubby had a regular latte. Both were tasty. I had the Son of a Gouda, which was tasty, but not out of this world. Hubby and kiddo shared the Jump Starter which they enjoyed.
