Off the Grid
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
Off the Grid, just outside of Sperryville, VA, is one of the most eco-friendly restaurants in the country. In our effort to produce climate-friendly food we are 100% solar-powered, and strive for zero waste and carbon-neutral operations.
On the Farm: Fresh eggs, honey, and seasonal produce. The on-site small-scale farm is where you will find hens for free-range eggs, an apiary for honey production and gardens for year round produce, herbs, and edible flowers.
We practice carbon-reduction farming by working the soil in no-till methods, plant rotation and planting carbon-friendly crops.
Our pasture-raised chicken and pork, come from local farms that meet our standards for sustainability and humane farming practices, while vegan and vegetarian items feature prominently on the menu.
Powered by the Sun: Off the Grid is powered by a solar array in a back field. The 50 kw system can be seen from the outdoor seating next to the Thornton River. An old fruit stand was refurbished into a level-2 charging center for electric vehicles.
The building itself was remodeled with energy efficient equipment and insulation. Energy efficient windows and other fixtures were repurposed from local remodeling jobs.
In other sustainability goals, Off the Grid works hard to reduce their waste through repurposing, recycling, and composting on site.
