Orange County may have earned its name from its days as an agricultural hub, but there’s really not a whole lot of farm left here. The exception may be the Anaheim Packing District, where local farmers once unloaded trucks of freshly picked citrus to begin the packing process.

Today, the restored Packing District is a different kind of culinary hub. The 42,000-square-foot Packing House is now redesigned as a beautiful food hall reminiscent of the great public markets of South America and Europe. More than 20 artisan food producers and purveyors in a public market setting.

The Packing District also includes the restored Packard Car Showroom, now home to Anaheim Brewery. Owned and operated by Barbara & Greg Gerovac, the brewery is inspired by the beer of Bavaria, where the couple lived for seven years. In 2010, after the Gerovacs moved to the OC, they started the brewery. Try a pint of their flagship Anaheim 1888®, based on the style of beer brewed at the original Anaheim Brewery, which closed during Prohibition.
