Take a listen to everything Farmer Boys has going on!
Since 1981, 43 years ago, the fast-casual restaurant, which was started with a single location in Perris, California, has become beloved throughout California for its farm-fresh ingredients, award-winning burgers, and strong value. Today, Farmer Boys has over 100 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, but its origin story of being founded by five brothers who were raised on a family farm in Cyprus, and built the restaurant on the concept of hard work, fresh ingredients, and a no-shortcuts - still shapes the business, driving how the food is made and how the brand shows up in its communities.
