FARM Cafe has the most welcoming atmosphere. I went because I was sick of eating unhealthy and pricy dining hall food. They don’t force you to pay anything but I pay out of appreciation for what they do and I hope they stay open for years to come.Their food is delicious, varied, healthy, and keeps me full throughout the day. Would give 100 stars if I could. Staff is courteous, helpful, attentive, and kind. A nice lady worker/volunteer noticed that I was struggling to find the bathroom and pointed out the location to me without me even opening my mouth. Just a really cool establishment that I wished I found sooner. Will be coming for lunch often.

My favorite restaurant in the country. I look forward to going here every year on my visit to Blowing Rock. You get up to 4 courses of food (salad, soup, entree, dessert). How could you not love getting 4 courses !! The food changes everyday as they get it from local farms. Very healthy! It’s a pay what you can restaurant. The volunteers are friendly. 10/10! You should visit.

We finally were able to stop by for lunch. Wonderful cafe. Volunteers are very helpful and explained everything to us. Food was really delicious – especially the soup! You pay either the suggested donation or a bit more or you volunteer. Great idea – everyone eats!

Delicious local food and volunteers/staff that are beyond friendly. I will definitely be visiting again for another cheap & affordable bite. If you’re broke, this place is a lifesaver.

This is by far my favorite place to eat lunch in Boone. Everyone is really friendly, and it’s natural to strike up conversations with people you’ve never met from all walks of life.

Love the atmosphere and mission of this place! From the staff consisting mostly of volunteers, to them never turning down a plate to anyone regardless of money, to their daily menu change, it’s a place to visit in Boone.

FARM Cafe is a local treasure for downtown Boone. I have been eating there weekly and volunteer for their Food Recovery Program on Fridays. The food is great, and the environment is welcoming and relaxed. They do an awesome job creating appealing meals for both meat eaters and the veggie crowd. Definitely give it a try!

Just needed a meal until payday, no issues. Friendly staff, and loved that someone else said the word spiel out loud. Boone’s predatory parking and towing is an issue though during the hours they are open.
