Hey! It’s me, Lesley Salman of Salman Home Realty, and the doctor’s in! Doctor Michael Gaitonde that is with Lighthouse Chiropractic. Dr. Michael and I go way way back because I’ve been his realtor for years, and as a reward for having amazing taste in real estate agents, I’m letting him tag along on this week’s feature – Farm Station Cafe.

Owner Karen Baker (suitable name – we’ll tell you why in a minute) and Chef Matt Mize, Director of Culinary at Farm Station, sat down with me and Dr. Michael to talk about this gem of a cafe located in the Vint Hill Farms area.

The roots of Farm Station dig deep in culinary masterpieces at Karen’s catering company, A La Carte Catering. Once realizing that the Vint Hill area was growing, expanding into a storefront was a natural progression for this popular catering company. They opened their doors last year and haven’t looked back.

They truly live up to their name “Farm” with their offerings being sourced for local markets and farmers making this really a taste of Northern Virginia. From locally sourced meats to microgreens, the options are really endless here at Farm Station Cafe.

Dessert? Yes please! On payroll are two phenomenal pastry chefs. They do 100% of the baking for A La Carte Catering – from miniature pastries to full-size wedding cakes – they all handcraft all of the baked goods for Farm Station – and let me tell you – it. is. amazing.

Things we devoured:
– The Fresh House Salad furnished with local greens topped with a house made veggie burger
– The Bird and the Bean Sandwich made with local chicken and fried beans with a creole sauce on a multi-grain bread
– Sweet Potato Biscuit with Country Ham
– Farm Station Harvest Bread packed full of nuts and dried fruits
– Sugar-Free Yogurt Parfait
– House-made Banana Bread
– and a Stunning Mother’s Day Cake
