COVID - 19 Information
Updated June 30th , 2020
The Rural Seed is excited to announce that we are open for “reduced seating” indoor dining. Our hours now be Wednesday through Friday, 11 am until 9 pm, Saturday 9 am until 9 pm, and Sunday Brunch from 10 am until 2 pm.
BECAUSE OF REDUCED SEATING, PLEASE CALL AHEAD IF YOU HAVE A GROUP OF 6 OR MORE. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR GROUP.
We will be following the suggested guidelines for restaurants provided by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. If you would like to read the full guidelines, you may click the following link:

Below is a brief list of the procedures we will be implementing.
- Socially distant seating will be at 50% of our normal capacity.
- Servers will be wearing face masks when interacting with customers, food, and beverages, and will wear gloves when needed.
- There will be a focus on cleaning high-touch surfaces throughout the restaurant.
- We will still offer curbside service for takeout orders, but will no longer be doing deliveries.
- Hand sanitizer will be provided at the entrance, outside of restrooms, and near both registers.
- If you have been sick or suspect that you may be sick, we ask that you use our curbside takeout service so that our servers and employees, as well as other customers, are not exposed.
- Should our dining room be filled to capacity, we ask that you give our host/hostess your name and number and wait either outside or in your car for an available table. We will text you when your table is ready.
- We are welcoming parties of 6 or fewer. However, if you have a party larger than 4 people it is best to call ahead for a reservation so that we may adequately accommodate your group.
Our goal is to keep our employees and our customers safe while maintaining our service standards. Please respect our wish for social distancing. We are excited to see you, but please do not hug us. Elbow bumps are welcome!
We know these procedures are a big change for our guests; they are for us, too. As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
See you soon!
