You don't have to be vegan to like this restaurant. The food is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. I try to get there at least once a week to get takeout for my wife and me. But they have a lot of fun items, so sometimes I get food for more than one day. I really like their Cuban sandwich, so I get that a lot. But I've tried a number of their other options and they're also quite good. There's usually a weekly special that's fun. And, though I can't eat sugar myself, I have it on good authority that the whoopie pies are excellent. While full-time veganism can be a lot of work and some people think of it as a form of deprivation, part-time veganism still reduces the world's stress on animal products, is climate-friendly, and has a lot of health benefits. So don't feel like you have to subscribe to a religion to enjoy yourself. For example, I try to keep my cholesterol down, and vegan food automatically checks that list. No cholesterol in anything. So when they have something that is cheeseburger-like, it obviously isn't going to be made of actual beef and cheese. Still, I find it "good enough" taste-wise and I like not having to feel guilty that I'm off diet when I'm enjoying my food. An underappreciated aspect of such a restaurant is that its know their ingredients and don't think it's at all odd for you to ask about them. So if you've got food sensitivities of any kind and tire of feeling like a burden for asking, just that part alone may help you feel relaxed and among your own. This restaurant is tucked inside the Toadstool Bookstore, a local indie bookstore, so that's fun too. Browse some physical books while you're there. Yeah, that's still a thing. read more

Great vegan sandwiches in cafe in a good sized bookstore. A meal and some good browsing. Loved the Rubes sammi - will order with extra tempeh next time. The Cuban was also a hit. The Ragin' Cajun declared "good, but could be more cajun". Will be back - much to try! I loved the melty cashew cheese and want to try the mac and cheese and poutine. read more

Always great food and we returned to a couple of our favorites for lunch today: onion veggie burger and rubes(Rueben sandwich, vegan style) Both reminded us that it has been too long since we dined at Skip's The Farm Cafe!! We finished our meal with sweet potato blonder as a sweet treat. Their new patio is great relaxing space just outside the restaurant doors. We will be back soon to try some of the all day brunch additions and newer menu items. Thanks, Skip!! read more

I visit Keene often for family. I also travel extensively for work. As a vegan, finding consistently quality food is sometimes challenging. Never here. The service is here is always fantastic. The food is killer. It's in a bookshop! What more could you want?!? One of the best casual vegan spots in New England. read more

Completely vegan cafe inside a well stocked independent book store. Nice selection of sandwiches and drinks. The California farmer and TLT (Tempeh) are recommended. The iced chai was spicy and delicious. Staff was polite and helpful. 5s! read more

A cute casual vegan cafe tucked into the corner of a bookstore. Plenty of free parking, and very friendly service. The Cuban sandwich is not to be missed and was the highlight of my visit. The caramelized onion lentil soup was more of a beet lentil soup, and the cauliflower bites were a bit of a soggy situation. My father-in-law LOVED the blueberry lavender oat milk smoothie. Overall a very nice spot to grab a quick vegan bite. read more

I visited the Farm Cafe for the first time yesterday and was very impressed. It is located in the corner of a bookstore. The cafe is set up in an L-shape. You order at the counter and they bring food to your table. The Farm Cafe specializes in healthy, vegan food. I personally am not vegetarian or vegan, but I thought the menu items that my girlfriend had were quite good. The best way I can describe it is very wholesome. They feature a nice selection of sandwiches, salads, and smoothies. read more

I also got a quinoa bowel with sweet potatoes and avocado Picture didn't happen as it smelled divine so I dove right in. It tasted even better than it smelled! So happy I found this place! Can't wait to be back and try the cucumber lemonade!! read more

The food is delicious. I had a good sized poutine bowl and a strawberry beet chocolate smoothie. Prices are reasonable for specialty (vegan) food. This is located inside Toadstool Books but most people were there for the cafe not the bookstore. There is ample parking out back, something I'm not used to on Main Street in my own home city. read more

Cute little cafe inside a book shop, this place was unassuming but packed a big surprise. The food was amazing. My partner and I ordered the vegan poutine special and vegan Reuben sandwich, which both came with Home made "cheese sauce" and they were especially tasty! There's a lot of options for vegans and/gluten-free folks as well as a variety of good cold and hot drinks. I got a delicious iced coffee and she got the lavender lemonade, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. Check out the desserts while you're here too! Many vegan and gluten-free chocolates and pastries. Highly recommended! read more

I know the owners because they bring their truck to NHVegFest. I couldn't wait to visit their restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised to find it inside of the toadstool bookstore. Ordered the ruben and lemonade. I don't like rye bread so I had it on sour dough bread. It was very good. I loved the dressing and the sour kraut. The lemonade was flavored with lavender. It was absolutely amazing. I skipped the dessert because I wasn't really in the mood. read more

The Farm Café - the menu for the farm cafe - Vegan Near Me - Keene, New Hampshire

Wow...hidden GEM stopped here passing through Keene, NH and we are certainly not regretting it. Fresh, local, veggie and vegan. Meat eaters will not be disappointed in their non-meat takes on traditional dishes (e.g., the "Rubes" is their Rueben with organic grilled tempeh and vegan dressing instead of corned beef and Russian). I got the Veggie of the Sea, the Farm Cafe's version of a tuna melt. Bread could not have been more perfectly toasted. My darlin' got the Buffa-flower Salad, cauliflower tossed in Buffalo sauce and vegan cashew ranch -- holy smokes. Don't hesitate on the bookstore front if you walk in that entrance. This joint is legit! read more

Vegan review: We were on a motorcycle trip via back roads from Lake George to Cape Cod, decided to grab lunch in Keene along the way. When we pulled up vegan on yelp, a country life popped up. I hadn't seen a country life in years but sadly it wasn't open that day. So we looked at other place with great reviews. This little spot is tucked in the corner of a book store. It's a strange little set up and reminds of what veggie restaurants were like 10-15 years ago. Based on the suggestion of Amy (who I guess is one of the owners), I got the Rueben. Now, there is NOTHING healthy about this thing, it was just carbs, oil and fake cheese, but it was damn good. And it warmed me up which I needed that day. My friend got the quesadilla, which he liked. I also got a truffle and the peanut butter chocolate oat 'cookie'. The truffle was dry and kind of sucked, just skip it but the cookie, that cookie was GREAT! I should have bought 10 more. If you're passing through, definitely check this place out. It seems to be a small mom and pop, and who doesn't want to support that. read more

There's something special about this eclectic cafe stowed in a little nook of Keene's own Toadstool Bookshop. The best feeling I get when eating here is welcomed. The staff are so kind, there are "lgbt safe space" posters on the wall, and there are options for everyone; vegetarians, vegans, and more alike. I could dine here with every one of my friends and they would all feel just at home, no matter their background or dietary habits. All in all, if the food isn't what pulls you into this cafe, go in for the experience; it is worth the whole meal. p.s. - try their orange-ade, you won't regret it. read more

Yup! You gotta go. This unconsciously hip cafe is tucked away in the cozy front corner of the new toadstool bookstore (which, I'm happy to say for a locally owned bookstore is happily buzzing with activity). Service is like eating at your best friends house, seriously. Awesome, tasty and creative vegetarian and vegan options (plus tuna salad). Unusual juices, sodas and sweets to boot. They also have a frequently changing and surprisingly tempting specials list. Do it! read more

All buffed up mac bowl and strawberry monkey smoothie are my favorite here, but I've ordered holiday meals and other items which were all delicious. read more

The owner lady was at the register- she is very nice; very accommodating. She's clearly happy. It put me in a good mood too. The food- good. Healthy. I told her I am wheat and rice free. (My annoying diet) and they had options for me! I will be back. read more

As someone with a dairy allergy eating out can be a challenge. Recently ate lunch here and it was delicious! Had the Green Monster Quinoa bowl and a Citrus cupcake. The cupcake was amazing, one of the best - if not the best - dairy free treats I've ever had! My only wish is that I lived closer because I'd definitely be a regular! read more

As a vegan living in the backwoods of New Hampshire, it can be hard out here eating out. So coming to places like the Farm Cafe, where the whole menu is vegan, makes me want to cry with happiness. I was so excited to try this place out, and it also made me really happy to see that so much on their menu was organic and/or locally sourced; not only that, most of their packaging is compostable. I always love to see places that clearly value taking care of the environment so much. So, I was excited about this place before I even tried my food. :) That being said, the food was great -- I had the buff-a-flower power wrap, which was excellent, and a pumpkin pie shake, which was decadent. I truly cannot explain how happy this shake made my pumpkin spice-loving heart. I also grabbed a vanilla maple cupcake to go, which I have since ferally consumed as a late-night snack. In conclusion, everything I got was great, I love what this place stands for, and I'll definitely be back. 10/10, would recommend to a friend, acquaintance, or enemy read more

This was my first visit and wont be my last. This place is tucked away in the corner of Toadstools bookstore. Great local food. I like real spicy food so I ordered Bill's Barn Burner ($6.00) This is grilled cheese sandwich made with Cabot Sharp Cheese & Fresh Organic Jalapeños on Sourdough. It didn't disappoint. My friend ordered BBQ Tempeh Salad. This is an organic mixed greens salad topped with their own Vegan Ranch & Organic Salsa , BBQ Tempeh and topped off with crushed Organic Tortilla Chips. (7.50). He loved it. read more

The Farm truck was at the Green River Music Festival and I tried their Orchard Melt sandwich (apple slices, cheddar, honey and crushed pretzels on grilled cinnamon raisin bread). It was one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had. Service was friendly, prices were good and the food was delish! There was a long line for good reason! Lots of vegetarian options and their sign said all of their food could be made gluten free and vegan. Def check them out! read more

This hidden gem in the corner of a bookstore has some of the best lunch food Keene has to offer! Amazing vegetarian/vegan sandwiches, wraps, bowls, and always check those specials! The Rubes is my personal favorite. Most meat eaters would also love this place with its great food, super friendly staff and reasonable prices. Definitely snake your way through the book isles and try this place out! read more

Thank you, yelp! Another unassuming place that goes above and beyond. Tucked inside a sweet bookstore with nice folk throughout. Kip served us and couldn't be more relaxed and friendly. Chai by local www.chai-wallah.com worth a second review, best Chai outside of India! Outstanding vegan menu. Amy's quesadilla and chili were dynamite.. flavorful with quality ingredients. Conscious and kind spot for a chill college town. Yum. read more

When in Keene, we love going to The Farm. The food is fabulous and the staff are wonderful. The specials are imaginative as is the entire menu. And don't forget dessert. The desserts are off the charts amazing. read more

I moved to southern VT a little over a year ago and just found this place recently. This cafe has the best vegan options in the southern VT/NH area that I have found so far. The cafe is tucked in the corner of the bookstore but has a good amount of seating and food to go. Definitely worth stopping by if you are in or around the keene area. The hot chocolate is really nice! read more

I love the lavender lemonade and the gluten free vegan sandwiches! Yummers ! Healthy and delicious!

Everything about the Farm is amazing. Great food, great service, amazing staff. I can't say enough awesome things about this awesome establishment read more

Loved the cute, quaint atmosphere of this cafe tucked in an adorable local bookstore. Very simple, fresh, and organic ingredients. The orchard melt was good. Very basic. A bit expensive for what you get, but I enjoyed it. Lots of delicious desserts and drinks as well. read more

This was my favorite food truck at the horse shows. I went every day! I was so happy to see they got a permanent spot in Toadstool! Their Orchard melt and Old Macdonald are my absolute favorites but the bowls are also amazing! I always try to recreate the meals at home but fail miserably! I just wish I was closer so I could go every day just like at the horse shows! They knock vegan and vegetarian food out of the park! Amy is such a sweet sweet woman as well. ALWAYS goes out of her way to be friendly and accommodating. My husband and I love this place! read more

Favorite place in town for lunch! These guys are awesome! You can't go wrong with any one of their regular menu items, and the daily specials are always super creative combinations of tastes that I would never dream of putting together, but once I read the description, I just have to try them! The Orchard Melt is still my favorite....sharp cheddar, green apples and crushed pretzels grilled on cinnamon raisin bread - YUMMY! read more

Just came home from a graduation party catered by these guys. It was outstanding! Vegetarian Reuben? Great! Brie sandwich on raisin toast? Fabulous. My highest praise is that most of us non-vegetarian types loved the food. The gluten free desserts were irresistible. Well done Farm Concessions. Oddly enough, I'm reading more now that you're at Toadstool. read more

Amy and Skip who own and run The Farm are so nice and genuine. The food is incredible and if you get a chance to try Amy's cupcakes DO IT.

Always delicious, interesting varieties of grilled cheeses. Iced chai was also delicious. Quality local organic food right in Keene!

Top notch lunch spot. My husband and I were driving from Maine to NY taking the scenic route through NH/VT and started looking up places somewhat along the route to stop for a quick but healthy/tasty lunch option. Saw the succession of five star reviews here and knew it had to be something special. About 6 mins off the main highway, parking was easy and service was friendly and quick from Amy. I asked her for recommendations, and she said her favorite thing is the quesadillas, actually named Amy's Quesadilla's after her, but people also go crazy for the poutine and burgers. The quesadilla description sounded delicious so I went with it, and it tasted even better than expected. They were jam packed with flavor and the tortilla has the perfect crisp to go along with the perfect combination of veggie burger, veggies, and cheese inside. It was better than any quesadilla I've ever ordered out. Definitely not an ordinary choice with the creative sauce as well. My husband ordered the Green Monster Quinoa bowl, which he enjoyed as well. The beans did have a very smoky taste so if you like smoky this is for you. We would not hesitate to come back again when passing through. I wish there were more places like Farm Concessions!

What a great find! Located inside a bookstore so was a little skeptical at first. Had the Thai Peanut Carrot soup which was very tasty. The quinoa bowl had a touch too much maple syrup to my liking but was still delicious. Great vegan menu. Bonus was the live music playing as I ate. read more

Wonderful owners and I'm always so impressed with the food! Their service and meals are 5 stars but I rated them 4 because they close pretty early and it would be nice to get dinner there. read more

Just went here for the first time today and it was nothing short of amazing. The service was fast and friendly, the owners make you feel like a friend rather than a customer. I tried the blueberry fields sandwich which had blueberry basil shallot compote and provolone on grilled sourdough bread. I wasn't sure how those flavors would work out, but they were absolutely delicious together. The iced chai was small for 4 dollars but well worth it! Needless to say they definitely gained a loyal customer today. read more

This place is BOMB! Best food truck I've ever eaten at, seriously you should consider picking up some of their food during your lunch break, you won't ever regret it!! read more

Absolutely the best vegetarian food truck in the northeast. If you are in Keene, NH or at a festival and you come across this gem. You will have also discovered a friendly guy, maybe his wife, who are dedicated to giving you the most pleasant visit possible. The prices are fair. If you look at the menu, Each selection is carefully prepared with organic ingredients and might I add very delicious. My most personal favorite is Amy's Quesadilla. A delicious handcrafted quinoa and black bean burger dressed with Cabot seriously sharp cheddar, sauteed onions and mushrooms, sun-dried tomato veganaise, organic ketchup and topped with mixed greens on a grilled wheat tortilla. Every bite is as savory as the last, until sadly you are finished, and you feel the need to visit the farm over and over again. I recommend trying whatever your heart desires. Most items on their menu are vegetarian but there are a few vegan selections as well. I would recommend this place to anyone read more
