The Farm On Adderley opened in the Summer of 2006 in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. The restaurant was conceived of by Gary Jonas and Allison McDowell, residents of the neighborhood. Together with Chef Tom Kearney and the help of friends and family they opened the doors. The name comes from an expression that Gary grew up with in South Africa that basically means a long shot. Adderley is a main thoroughfare in Cape Town and to have a farm there is somewhat of an impossibility. “If that ever happens I’ll buy you a farm on Adderley,” so the expression goes.
