    Saltbox Kitchen: Rooted in Concord

    After ten years in business, Saltbox Kitchen remains deeply rooted in the community it calls home. The welcoming West Concord café serves seasonal, globally inspired fare made with ingredients from Saltbox Farm, chef Ben Elliott’s ten-acre family farm just a few miles away. Stop in for a freshly baked pastry and coffee, linger over lunch, or sample a beer from Saltbox Brewery—Concord’s only craft brewery. But Saltbox offers more than good food. Through creative partnerships with neighboring West Concord businesses, it continues to strengthen the lively, close-knit character of the community. Every meal supports Elliott’s determined effort to preserve Saltbox Farm as a working agricultural landscape, using organic and regenerative practices. At Saltbox, visiting a local restaurant becomes a delicious way to support an entire community and help keep Concord farming.

And of course, concerts, exhibitions, festivals, walks, talks, and family activities await you throughout the season.
