Farmer Boys, the West Coast fast-casual restaurant known for its award-winning burgers and farm-fresh ingredients, is celebrating its 45th anniversary with a month-long birthday celebration. Guests can participate in The Big Burger Hunt for Farmer Boys’ Big 4-5 events with giveaways, score $1 Zucchini Sticks with any purchase, and more throughout August.

To celebrate its 45th birthday, Farmer Boys is kicking off the festivities on August 4 with the launch of The Big Burger Hunt for Farmer Boys’ Big 4-5, a four-week interactive scavenger hunt that invites burger lovers to follow clues, track down the Giant Burger and iconic Red Truck, and snap a photo for a chance to win a Big Burger Party for themselves and 45 friends.

Each Tuesday throughout August, the Giant Burger will hit the road for surprise two-hour appearances across Los Angeles County, Ontario, Las Vegas and the High Desert from 4 p.m. to 6 p.

m. Farmer Boys will share clues across its social media channels one hour, 30 minutes and 10 minutes before each event, challenging fans to race to the mystery location. Guests who find the Giant Burger and post their photo to Instagram tagging @FarmerBoysFood within 24 hours of the event will be entered to win that week’s Big Burger Party.

One winner will be selected following each event and announced on Thursday.

The first 45 participating guests at each Big Burger Hunt stop will also receive a Farmer Boys gift card and a bounce-back coupon for a $4.50 Big Cheese Burger.

“Farmer Boys was born from a love of big burgers, so when it came time to celebrate 45 years, we knew we couldn’t think small,” said Joseph Ortiz, president and COO of Farmer Boys. “The Big Burger Hunt for Farmer Boys’ Big 4-5 is the perfect way to celebrate this milestone while thanking the loyal guests and communities who have made the last 45 years possible. We can’t wait to hit the road and celebrate with them throughout August.”

The birthday celebration continues August 17–23, when guests can enjoy Farmer Boys’ signature Zucchini Sticks for just $1 with any purchase (limit one per transaction, while supplies last, not valid as part of a combo meal or through third-party delivery; participation may vary by location).

Since opening its first restaurant in 1981, Farmer Boys has spent 45 years serving hearty, made-to-order meals prepared with quality ingredients, including fresh, never-frozen beef and farm-fresh produce delivered multiple times per week. Today, the brand continues to honor that commitment while celebrating the guests and communities that have fueled its growth.
