The Anaheim Packing District encompasses 4 historic landmarks and the glorious 2-acre Farmers Park. The main ingredient of the foodie sprawl is the Anaheim Packing House, one of the last remaining citrus packing warehouses in Orange County, which has been historically preserved and retrofitted as a great original American market hall. The north anchor of the district is the Packard Building, welcoming its newest restaurant En Familia Steakhouse. Just south of the Packing House is MAKE, a old former 1917 marmalade factory. Establishing the most southern border of the Packing District, is Villains Brewing Company. Boasting more than 30 unique food and beverage artisans, the Packing District offers a culinary menagerie for families and visitors alike.  Visit http://www.anaheimpackingdistrict.com and follow @packingdistrict for current Packing District activities, including weekly entertainment.
