Farmers Kitchen + Bar Reopens With A Fresh Look And A New Supper Series

Farmers Kitchen + Bar reopened on February 26 after being temporarily closed to undergo a phase two remodel. The refreshed restaurant reopens just in time for Spring and also announces a new Farmers + Friends Series.   

The recent remodel focused on enhancing the bar area and table seating, including an expansion of the bar and installing banquettes in portions of the seating areas.  

“These improvements will enhance the guest dining experience,” said Gary Wertish, President of Minnesota Farmers Union. “We feel it’s important to keep improving the restaurant to give our guests and staff the best experience and dining space.”  

Farmers Kitchen + Bar is also launching a new supper series, Farmers + Friends, that is designed to bring the community of farmers and diners together for a multi-course, locally-sourced meal created by Executive Chef Kris Koch.  

“We are really excited to host these new suppers and create a unique opportunity for our guests to interact directly with the people that grow and produce the food they eat,” said Kris Koch, Executive Chef. “Each unique menu will feature ingredients produced by our farmer friends. During the event, each farmer will talk about their farm and the products they produce that are being utilized in each dish.”
