"Construction is underway and we are on target to open at the end of January or the beginning of February depending on when we get our stamps of approval," said Chef Rennie DiLorenzo, of Hightstown, co-owner of the restaurant in an email on Dec. 28.

Chef Paul Burroughs and I went to culinary school together, he said.

"Im financing the operation but hes going to have say in the menu choices," he said. "Hell bring an American flair to the menu."

12 Farms Restaurant is located at 120 North Main Street and is about 1,500 square feet. It is located where the International Roasting Post Caf was located until closing in early Oct. 2014.

He said she opened up a retail space with a dual purpose, web design and art gallery, in 2009.

"When we moved to New York in 2010, the gallery space transitioned to another gallery owner," he said.
