history
Our story is rich with tradition and a strong sense of place. The property first housed The Farm Cupboard, known for its famous Fried Chicken and prohibition-era cocktails, before becoming The Lord Fox, a beloved Ann Arbor landmark for 60 years. Founder, Sava Farah, purchased the 6.5-acre site in 2016 to save it from office redevelopment restoring the century old barn and preserving the land and its dining legacy for the next 100 years.
HOSPITALITY
At the heart of the Dixboro Project is a deep-rooted commitment to genuine hospitality, or Besa. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed like family, whether you’re here for a thoughtfully crafted meal, a warm cup of coffee, or a celebration among friends. Every detail within our space is designed to make you feel at home. We believe in curating spaces where people gather, connect, and feel cared for. For us, it’s about more than serving, it’s about sharing moments that matter.
community
We’re more than a restaurant, we’re a gathering place. The Dixboro Project thrives because of the vibrant, passionate community that surrounds it and the people who visit. We collaborate with local farmers and artists, host neighborhood events, and offer a space where people can come together. Community is at the core of all we do.
