Farmer’s Table: Food Fresh from Florida Farmers

Farmer's Table's head chef Wilson Wieggel doesn't like to work with ingredients unless he knows exactly where he comes from. Thanks to the farm-to-table philosophy of the restaurant's owners, he never has to. Chef Wilson and his team receive ingredients from farms around the Boca Raton region that use healthy and sustainable practices, so they know they're using the highest quality produce and meats available.

That's how they ensure that each of their dishes are both nutritious and flavorful. According to Yelp reviewers, they really hit the mark with the Buddha bowl. It contains your choice of shrimp, chicken, or spiced tofu with stir-fried veggies, udon noodles, and a gingered egg. The shrimp and roasted corn flatbread is another popular dish, this one piled with sharp cheddar cheese, red peppers, organic spinach, and chili-lime sauce—you can sub in vegan Daiya cheese for the cheddar.

Farmer's Table serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, so stop by any time for a healthy, local meal.
