Nestled in the hills of Brown County (literally, the county most often referred to as the "most beautiful" by numerous sources) is an adorable, rustic little mom-and-pop restaurant that is more than deserving of the cult following it has. Locals know where to find the most amazing food in the area, and that's at the Farmhouse Cafe and Tea Room. The menu is diverse, artisan, and absolutely delectable; you're sure to adore this little rustic restaurant in Indiana as much as we do, and you'll find yourself drawn back time and time again.
This little nosh spot looks and feels like something out of a countryside fairy tale, and it's nestled on the grounds of another local staple, the Flower & Herb Barn.
It's quaint and quite cozy; whether you choose to sit outside or inside, you're going to feel right at home, and that's the idea.
It really does feel like nana's house, if nana's house was also a restaurant, cafe, and plant nursery.
Good luck deciding what you want the first time you come by; the menu is filled end-to-end with amazingly rich, flavorful comfort food that you'll crave every day long after you pay the bill.
The menu is diverse, offering lighter fare like soup, salad, and sandwiches, but plenty of hearty meals like steaks, chops, and seafood as well.
Honestly, it's near impossible to pick the wrong thing; everything on the menu is prepared with love and care, and it really shows.
Better still, each dish is as beautiful as it is tasty.
Presentation is important here, from the cozy down-home vibe to the visual appeal of the food and drinks.
When you're finished with your food, don't forget to browse a bit and maybe take a new plant home.
Considering the Farmhouse is a much-beloved local staple, they STRONGLY recommend reservations, which can be obtained by calling 812.988.2004. The further ahead, the better - but we get it if you're too excited for your visit to wait that long.
....and don't forget to leave plenty of room (it's hard, we know) for dessert.
Like everything else on the menu, each dessert is prepared right in-house and filled with lots of love.
This adorable rustic restaurant in Indiana books up quickly, as we said, so make sure to remember those reservations! For more about the Farmhouse Cafe and Tea Room, make sure to visit the official website.
