*UPDATE: The Wayland Square location of Farmstead Inc. has been bought by Ben Lloyd, former Executive Chef and Manager of Tazza, who plans on turning the space into a 60+ seat restaurant called the Salted Slate.
Shed a foodie tear for James Beard finalist Matt Jennings and his wife Kate - owners of celebrated East Side eatery Farmstead Inc - have decided to sell the restaurant and will be bringing their combined culinary talent to Boston.
"When Kate and I moved to Rhode Island and opened Farmstead, we knew that we would one day return home to raise our children near our family and friends in Boston. We are forever indebted to all of our loyal guests who helped us build Farmstead into the beloved destination it has become for so many,” said Matt Jennings.
The power duo have set their sights on the new Radian building at 120 Kingston Street where they will open a new space - Townsman - in late 2014.
“Based on how deeply involved we have been at Farmstead from the very beginning, we knew that keeping our Providence spot open and spreading ourselves across two states would never work for us, our staff and most importantly our guests. We will certainly cherish the memories at Wayland Square and hope that our many Farmstead friends will visit us often at Townsman.”
Now's the chance to stock up on all of Farmstead Inc's scrumptious cheese and meat selections and to stop by for a meal by June 1st... when the doors of Farmstead Inc's Providence location will close. Sniff.
