Join the Farmer Boys Family
Born and raised in Southern California, Farmer Boys is a one-of-a-kind fast casual franchise concept that uses fresh ingredients from local vendors to deliver delicious, made-to-order food to every guest. We’re family-founded with community roots, backed by an impressive leadership team to support our growth. Not to mention, the original brothers and their children are still actively involved to this day.
Community is at Our Core
Giving back is foundational to Farmer Boys. Each Farmer Boys franchisee plays an integral part of fundraising to support their local children’s hospitals. Together, we’ve donated over $1.1 million since 2000!
