How Farmer Boys Cultivates Local Partnerships

June 1, 2024

At Farmer Boys®, we pride ourselves on exceptional service and creating a welcoming environment. This commitment extends beyond us into our communities. We believe that great food comes from the heart, and it shows in everything we do— aiming to make every guest feel like family, sourcing the freshest ingredients from local suppliers and serving our communities in every way we can.

Community Engagement and Support at Farmer Boys® Restaurants

Farmer Boys® is committed to being a pillar of support and positivity in our communities by fostering connections, supporting growth, and making a meaningful difference Every new Farmer Boys® restaurant grand opening includes a partnership with a local school to host a grand opening fundraiser, with 100 percent of sales donated back to the school. This not only supports local education, but also fosters a strong community connection from day one. Additionally, each franchise plays a crucial role in fundraising efforts for local children’s hospitals. Since 2000, we’ve donated over $1.4 million to support children’s health organizations.

Our dedication to community support goes beyond just financial donations. Our franchisees actively engage with local organizations and schools through youth sports leagues and fundraising events. By building these relationships, we not only support local partners but also create a welcoming environment for our guests, turning our restaurants into community gathering spots.

Commitment to Sourcing Fresh, Local Ingredients
Earlier this month, Farmer Boys® sponsored Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) Children’s Day Event for the 12th consecutive year. The community health fair provides hands-on learning experiences to help children feel at ease in a hospital setting. Farmer Boys® supplied meals for the 180 volunteers, as well as, hosted the interactive petting zoo and spin-wheel giveaways.

“Sponsoring the LLUCH Children’s Day is an annual highlight,” said Daisy Alvarez, a senior director. “At the heart of Farmer Boys is community involvement, and initiatives like Children’s Day make us proud to have built such a long-lasting relationship with LLUCH that provides wonderful clinical and outreach care to children.”

Commitment to Sourcing Fresh, Local Ingredients
At the cornerstone of Farmer Boys® is our dedication to sourcing the freshest local ingredients. Unlike many fast-casual franchises, we believe in our farm-to-table philosophy, which not only supports local farmers but also guarantees the highest quality food for our guests. From the Columbia River Basin to sunny Southern California, everything from our fries to our orange juice comes from trusted local producers.

This commitment to local partnerships and philanthropy is what sets Farmer Boys® apart in the restaurant industry, ensuring that we are truly woven into the fabric of each neighborhood we serve. Our approach means that customers develop a deeper connection to their nearest Farmer Boys® location which encourages them to return to not only support the restaurant but the farms as well. Not to mention, franchisees can save on the costs of transportation by partnering with local vendors.
