Pop-Up Launches Fundraising Campaign For Upcoming Union Square Restaurant

SOMERVILLE, MA – A local pop-up is set to open its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in the former Journeyman space in Union Square. Field & Vine, a concept from Company Picnic, is steps away from making its permanent home at 9 Sanborn Court, according to Eater Boston.

Now that the menu is finalized and licenses and permits are secured, the team behind Field & Vine has launched a Kickstarter campaign to assist in buying the best food and beverage choices from across New England. The campaign promises sustainably sourced ingredients and seasonal menus featuring food made from scratch.

"Our mission is to create a dining experience committed to the natural world," co-owners Andrew Brady and Sara Markey wrote on their Kickstarter page.

The campaign runs throughout the month has raised close to $5,000 of its $25,000 goal. Funds will be used to stock the pantry with the best local produce, source local craft beers and wines and cover any unforeseen maintenance or emergency costs associated with the building.

Journeyman closed June 3 after seven years in Union Square.
