Farmer Boy's - Franchise

FARM-to-TABLE-to-DELICIOUS

Right now, the Farm-To-Table restaurant concept is hotter than a Farmer’s Burger® right off the grill. We should know, we’ve been serving farm fresh food made to order for over 30 years. Today, Farmer Boys® is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this trend now and into the future. Join us. Americans are waiting to sink their teeth into Farmer Boys farm fresh food.

Since our first restaurant opened its doors in 1981, Farmer Boys has steadily grown in both geographic reach and customer popularity. From our start as a chain of eight family owned restaurants, we have built a franchise operation that today includes 77 Farmer Boys restaurants in locations across eleven California counties and in Nevada.

At Farmer Boys, we are deeply committed to supporting our franchisees because we care about our reputation and your success. We’ll help you find the right location, teach you our time-honored techniques and provide ongoing assistance to help you grow your business.
