Gibson Farm Market
Located at the heart of Fresno State’s campus, Gibson Farm Market is not just a local treasure; it’s a living showcase of student-grown excellence. Established decades ago by the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology at State University, Fresno, this market brings the university’s agricultural expertise directly to the community. From its modest beginnings to its current reputation as a must-visit farm store in Central California, Gibson Farm Market continues to support agricultural education while serving up fresh, high-quality, locally-grown produce, meats, and dairy. It’s a farm market with a mission where every purchase helps students grow, learn, and succeed. From Gibson’s, take a coastal drive to Marina Del Rey Farmers Market for variety.
