The RE Farm Café sits on a 57-acre plot of active farm land. Many of the ingredients that will be used in the restaurant are to be grown on the actual site. The most important aspect of this building is that it is pursuing the Living Building Challenge. The objective of this project is to selectively demolish an existing 2 story farm house and expand the structure to accommodate for the new café. The façade will be seamlessly connected between the two parts using wooden lap siding and brick veneer. A clerestory will be built over the restaurant seating area to allow for optimal daylighting. The main seating area of the café surrounds a demonstration kitchen area with a prep kitchen tucked away behind it. Also included in the café are a private dining area, waiting room, and gallery space to commemorate the project. In addition to be a fully functional restaurant, the RE Farm Café will serve as a community resource and educational space for responsible sourcing, healthy living and sustainability.
