Purchasing a faucet for your farmhouse kitchen sink is no small matter. After all, this is a purchase that you'll live with for many years to come, that's why we took the initiative to examine and test over 20 different faucet designs for farmhouse sink. For example, Danze Opulence Two Handle Kitchen Faucet with Side Spray was selected as our number one choice, based on its beauty, functionality, sturdiness and customer satisfaction rating. Whereas the Kingston Brass KS1271ALBS Heritage Kitchen Faucet was considered the best value in our review as it performed splendidly and looked like a faucet that should cost much more than it actually does.
In order to find the best kitchen faucet for farmhouse sink, we decided to take a look at several important components. After all, selecting the right faucet for your farmhouse kitchen sink is not as simple as it looks. Because the farmhouse kitchen sinks are different from normal sinks. Not only that, but this will be a purchase that you'll be using each and every day, so it not only had to be pretty but had to be functional as well.
Design
As this particular selection involved faucets for farmhouse sinks, we had to make certain that the designs we selected were true to their genre. Installing an ultra modern, contemporary faucet would look totally out of place in a colonial setting. Also, the designs we selected had to be pleasant, after all according to experts, we spend a good amount of time in our kitchens every day, so an agreeable decor is essential.
Side Sprayers
in today's busy kitchens, having a side spray as part of your faucet design equals convenience for you. These side sprays come on flexible hoses and are useful when it comes to cleaning dishes, the sink, fruits and vegetables. The side sprayer can gain access to nooks and crannies that your spout cannot.
Arcs
When it comes time to rinse your pasta, or scrub down your roasting pan, having a kitchen faucet with a high arc is a crucial asset. It makes your time at the sink less of a hassle and saves your time in the process. In our review of the best kitchen faucets for farmhouse sinks, we selected those which had at least an 8 to 10 height clearance above the sink plane.
Finishes
We opted to offer you a variety of different finishes to suit various tastes. From the brilliant, polished chrome finish of the Kingston Brass KS1271ALBS Heritage Kitchen Faucet to the more subdued, antique oil-rubbed bronze finish of the Moen S712ORB Waterhill Two-Handle. These finishes also had to be chip and stain resistant.
Brand
Cheap knock-offs may seem like a good deal at the time, but they'll only end up hurting your pocketbook in the end. Where faucets are concerned, purchasing an inexpensive one can only lead to spending more money on replacement parts, repair bills and even a new faucet if it breaks down completely. Cheap kitchen faucets often leak, come with substandard internal parts, and need to be replaced sooner than later. By purchasing a name brand, you are not only getting a good faucet, but one that's backed by decades of fine customer service, manufacturer testing and customer satisfaction.
Final Verdict

It comes with drip free ceramic disc valve that gives you a nice, tight seal and has a 9-1/2 inch high spout, so you can wash your pans and veggies without any hassle. The side spray is made of brass, not plastic. Overall we like this high performance faucet, it's durable and trouble free and able to give you and your family years of service.
