Kitchen at Billings Forge

Connecticut

Providing training and employment opportunities for the Billings Forge/Hartford community, this bright, forward-thinking cafe works with local farmers to source fresh seasonal produce (in addition to what is available from the community garden and farmers market) to create a truly sustainable dining experience. Menu items, including salads, soups, sandwiches and fresh baked goods, are usually under $10.

Eat well knowing you're giving something back. There's also a location at the Hartford Public Library (500 Main St, 8am to 6pm Monday to Thursday, to 4pm Friday).
