McDonald’s Field to Restaurant Tour

Last month, our Sacramento team hosted its 3rd Annual McDonald’s Field to Restaurant tour for local community influencers in the Sacramento region. This year, the team took over 40 influencers to visit three McDonald’s suppliers in Northern California’s San Joaquin County. To start the day, our guests toured Primavera Marketing, Inc., the company responsible for providing children with fresh apples in their McDonald’s Happy Meals. Everyone had the opportunity to explore the facility, learn about the company and even taste the apples straight from the tree. Next on the tour, we learned about the production process at McDonald’s pickle supplier, Kruger Foods, and last but not least, we stopped at Aryzta Bakery, the company who supplies both hamburger buns and English muffins to 575 restaurants all over the Northern California and Western Nevada regions. While we loved showcasing the facilities that our McDonald’s products come from, what we loved more was seeing our guests’ perception change on the food quality at McDonald’s. One of our attendees was so impressed by the fresh ingredients and locally sourced products used at McDonald’s, that she decided to write a blog post about it, encouraging parents that they can feel good about eating at McDonald’s with their kids. To learn more about this year’s tour, check out the video above with a sneak peak on how the day went. We’re already looking forward to the 4th Annual Field to Restaurant tour next summer!
