Countertops:

Wood, Cement, Marble, and Quartz are all great options for countertops in a farmhouse kitchen. Quartz and Cement are pretty low maintenance and hold up really well, Marble is a little softer but comes in beautiful color varieties. Wood butcher block is gorgeous, but does require a considerable amount of upkeep, the steady use of coasters to protect it and regular oiling.

Like with cabinets using a different countertop on your island from the rest of your kitchen is a very popular trend and can lend some variety and dimension to your kitchen.
