The Farmer Boys ranch activation is being launched by the brand in honor of National Ranch Day as an experience for guests to enjoy for one day only. The activation comes in the form of the Tableside Ranch Experience that will pair diners with a Radiant Ranch Maker who will freshly prepare the brand's signature ranch freshly and serve it immediately. The initiative will come as a welcome experience for avid fans of ranch dressing with each table being offered tasting and even a 12-ounce cup of freshly prepared ranch sauce to take home.
President and COO Joseph Ortiz spoke on the Farmer Boys ranch activation saying, "Ranch has become more than just a condiment. We hear it all the time – from in-store conversations to social media comments – Farmer Boys ranch is one of a kind. Who else is serving up ranch from scratch using fresh local ingredients? The fandom we see inspired us to create this first ever tableside ranch experience to bring our guests behind the scenes. By bringing the ranch-making process tableside, we’re celebrating our fans and showcasing the made-from-scratch commitment that defines Farmer Boys."
