The Farmers Diner is located in Quechee, Vermont just off Route 4 in a restored 1946 diner. Run by Tod Murphy, the food is all local and serves breakfast and lunch during the winter months and dinner during the summer. Barbara Kingsolver said in her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" that the Farmers Diner is a restaurant for folks who want to fill up with a burger that does not come with a side of feedlot remorse.
