Gibson Farm Market

The tomatoes are amazing, and the sweet corn is to die for. The staff is friendly and courteous. The parking lot should be extended to the dirt area simply because, yeah, they're going to be busy. Stop by and get yourself some of the valley's best sweet corn.

Great produce, I always come here for the sweet corn. I've also tried some of their cheese. Prices are fair and the employees are very friendly. It's a great place to go to support the local university.

Sweet Fresno State corn is one of the great cultural benefits of the San Joaquin Valley. Locals stand in line...iykyk.

If you want fresh produce this is the place to go! Support local and support your bulldogs! They have snacks, wine, soft drinks, and ice cream! 🍦

Fresh products in grocery store ran by Fresno State. The corn is legendary. The ice cream is very good. The produce is fresh

The maple toffee almonds are the absolute best! We travel 250 miles, from Barstow, every year, just to purchase the sweet corn. The bonus this year was these almonds! We also bought 50 ears of sweet corn to take home and freeze.

I notice the ears of corn are skinny again same as last year 😕 the years past we’re completely different ( nice fat ears of corn ) they fixed something that was not broken! I am done buying skinny corn 👋🏽.

Great place to buy fresh produce in Fresno. The ice cream was the best and prepared by the students! I got raisins and pistachios for my father and he loved it! Very warm and friendly service. A must visit!

We loved checking and purchasing produce. Greeted upon entry, and friendly service at the register and ice cream counter. Although on the small side, pretty spacious aisles. We will return to seek produce and try other ice cream flavors.

It's tomato season! BLTs for dinner! Huge, perfectly ripened tomatoes. It's also time for the corn on the cob that everyone loves. Friendly service. Nice folks that work there. Don't forget an ice cream treat while you're there!

Fun place! There's a great selection of seasonal foods/produce/wine/nuts that are locally grown at Fresno State. Very fairly priced too! Highly recommend their ice cream, bulldog tracks is my favorite so far

Great spot to pick up local produce and meats. Though I am really here for the wine produced by their wine studies students. I got a little of each though partial to the Pinot Gris and the Albariño. The staff was super friendly and even got me a case box to put my wine in. The venue is a bit small but they have lots of gifts and Fresno Bulldogs gear. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Fresno.

Always make my yearly stop here for the Fresno state corn but they also have sweet grapes and yummy pluots. It's more of a self serve type of set up but he college kids are available for assistance if needed. Prices are reasonable and produce always fresh.

I was visiting my nephew and his family who live nearby. They were serving us a delicious and extravagant meal. Part of which came from this country style store. The freshly picked corn was our main draw! My sister and I really enjoyed ourselves as we wandered the store. They have a variety of farm fresh fruits & veggies, dairy products, nuts, snacks, dried fruits, homemade jams, local college wines, art, and souvenirs. The corn is famous and at a bargain price! My sister bought a bottle of wine made from Fresno State and Sacramento State. She enjoyed the Sac State wine the best! Never knew our own home city college made some great wine! Now, every time we are in town to visit family, we won't be able to resist stopping by at the Fresno State Gibson Market before we return home.

I so wish this adorable little store had been around when I attended Fresno State!! I think it's incredible to have a way to highlight all the amazing accomplishments and products our university departments and students create, and I could walk around for an hour just marveling at it all! Plus there's some swag if you're an alumni like me... The school's orchards and vineyards put out olives and grapes that allow them to create some wonderful flavored olive oils (the basil is delicious, but can't wait to try the garlic!) and numerous tasty wine varieties that make great gifts. And the Animal and Meat Sciences provide a ton of great local grown cuts and sausages. I didn't have a cooler last time I stopped in, so couldn't but any, but I won't make that mistake again. I plan to grab up some ice cream as well!! And their chocolate covered almonds and the hot and spicy almonds were a huge hit in our house as well! If you're in the area, this is a cool little spot to check out. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find something you wanted to buy!

My problem lies with management. I walked into the market around 1:30pm on June 7, 2024. The moment I walked into the market, a heavyset white woman was verbally assaulting the cashier closest to the door because she had her back to the door, and had her hands resting on the counter. The woman pushed the cashiers shoulder, causing her to stumble away from the counter while also loudly exclaiming to the cashier "don't lean on the counter, don't have your back facing the door, how many times do I have to tell you." The woman, who I am assuming is management of some kind, repeated this obnoxiously loud chant over and over til she walked into the little staff office. I almost turned right back around and left after witnessing this, but my intent in visiting the market was to support the Fresno State students who had supplied the produce within the market. I'm not sure if I will be returning if this is how management treats the employees. I do not support businesses who hire management to publicly bully their employees openly and loudly with at least 10 customers in the market. I will find a different way to support the students.

Really great experience! I didn't even know this place was here! Greeted upon walking in. Music playing! Nice, calm atmosphere. A lot to check out! I ended up getting Pinot Noir, Lemon bread, Blueberry Paw Tart and Yogurt Pretzels. The worker was very kind at check out. Also said they'll be having their corn to get next month. Paid for the order and wished a good day! Great service and great store! Look forward to trying the tasty treats bought! Highly recommended!

The staff is super friendly. The store hours are currently not correct. I went at 10 on a Saturday and was told the store opens at 9am now on Saturdays. I love their corn and usually my family picks it up for me but this time I decided to pick it up . If you want their sweet corn yiu have to go right when they open. Any time after that you'll be waiting in line and fight a crowd of corn lovers. I also picked up some cab wine from here, I've never tried their wine so I'm excited to see what that's about.

Love going to the farm Market. Great place to purchase hostess gifts. Love the variety of sausages. Cheeses are very good.

Corn is king here. People go in and out with black plastic bags of corn. White and yellow corn, 3 for $2.00. Yellow are the sweetest.

I've driven by this place a few times and always wondered about it. When I stopped by I realized it's a relatively small market. And by relatively I mean just small. I wandered around to see what I could buy that I would eat in my house. There were a lot of dried nuts/fruits/chocolates, that sort of thing, which I'm not really into. Oh, and there was a lot of ice cream, but when I looked at the ingredients all the ice cream had artificial coloring and stuff.. which for me defeats the purpose of buying "farm market" ice cream? There were also coffee beans, which I was curious about since my husband likes coffee. I bought him a bag of medium roast whole beans that were advertised to be smooth, and he said it was bad. Ops. I guess the students are still learning how to roast, or it was too old? Kind of sad for a close to $10 bag. I also saw some corn salsa that looked really good but on closer inspection the expiration date showed it was.. expired. I guess they could do a better job of checking their stock for expired items. So anyway, what I was really looking for was fresh produce. In this season, there were quite a lot of pumpkins. They had acorn squash as well. I got a butternut squash for .99cents which was also very good. Beautiful orange on the inside. I also got some very fresh looking grapes here at a good price. I wish I had bought more of the grapes, they are so much better than the ones I've had from grocery stores. Firm, sweet, delicious! Anyway, in spite of all the negatives, the grapes were so good I'm still giving them a fan review. Someday I'll have to line up for the famous corn.

The dude and I came to Fresno State market on 06/13/20 as we wanted some of the Fresno State corn. As supposedly it's the best corn in the Valley. Due to COVID-19 and the LOVE for Fresno State corn the lines can get pretty long. You are required to wear masks inside and they let about 10 to 15 people in the shopping area max to maintain a balance inside. Besides corn they sell Fresno State Ice cream of various flavors I got Funky Monkey which is banana ice cream mixed in with walnuts, chocolate and brownie pieces. It's delicious! The dude got Cake Batter mixed with cookie dough pieces which was pretty good! They also have Fresno State teas, nuts, candies, nut butter and many more delicious items! They will be getting Fresno State Watermelons by the end of June 2020 or early July 2020. I love this local farmers market as EVERYTHING is grown in Fresno including their wines! I highly recommend this place definitely a must stop if you are in the area!!!

The nostalgia that hits when I come here is unreal. I was happy that I was in town for the grape and corn harvest. I MISSED those grapes! I bought about $30 worth of grapes, and more on corn. I live in the Bay Area, and the grapes don't taste anywhere near as good as these do. I also love that when I was a little ... scared to try a grape, the worker said, "Go right ahead!" Living in city life, around people who will get you for anything, I have learned that I need to ask or else I'd get a "talk". I miss the Central Valley and the local food. Love this place. Good location, easy to find, CLEAN, and friendly.

Great lil fruit and vegetable stand. Cute inside some veggies tasted as if they were frozen not freshly picked.

One of my favorite places in Fresno to get in-season fresh fruit/vegetables, and of course, Fresno State ice cream. My favorite ice cream is the caramel toffee, which unfortunately, they have not had in a while. But feel free to call if you have a favorite to see if it is in stock! Everyone working here is so friendly, and are happy to check for you. I probably call once every other week. Stop by! They have the best healthy snacks, trail mixes, wines, specialty meats, ect.

I think it's great that Fresno State has this student-run market. Prices are high and the selection is *really* random but I think that's part of the fun. I love the seasonal produce, the raisins, their wine tasting events, starter plants for the garden. The student workers are always very helpful.

Cute little (emphasis little) market we stopped in to grab some snacks before wine tasting (Madera Wine Trail...here we come!). We loved all the unique and speciality snacks they have. Not a stop you'd make for your regular grocery shopping but good for local produce (shop local please), quality wines & meats. The pumpkin pie almonds are our weakness.

I've been to the Fresno State Farm Market a few times , usually to buy wine; my most recent visit was a past Sunday (Fathers Day) 6/21/20. All my visits to this market have been excellent. I'm so glad they are open on Sundays , were open on a "holiday" and were staffed accordingly. Even though they were limiting the number of people in the store , it was the summer corn season and last minute Father's Day wine pickup time, I didn't have to wait too long to get in the store and complete my purchase. The procedures they have put in place during Covid-19 were excellent, few ppl allowed in at a time, everyone must sanitize their hands before shopping and masks are required. There is someone at the door ensuring these procedures which I really appreciated. Friendly checkout staff and good selection of their usual stock. I forgot to check out the ice cream! But was able to get a bag of corn for my dad and 2 awesome bottles of wine for me, one is new to me and the other I highly recommend, Malbec. Will be back soon for some ice cream. Thankful that our local university provides fresh produce, meat, ice cream, wine and more in this very nicely organized store.

The best farm fresh fruits, veggies, ice cream and so much more! The sweet white corn is so yummy, we look forward to it every year! Friendly people, clean atmosphere, and some fun unexpected goodies.

Fresh produce, tomatoes taste good, corn so sweet and fresh, and the tastiest ice cream I ever had.

While I was visiting Fresno, one of my friends who works at CSU Fresno took me here so we could buy some nuts for my folks back home. The Gibson Farm Market sells products locally grown and made at the University including plants, fruits, vegetables, snacks, wine, dairy products, ice cream, olive oil, and other student developed products. The Fresno State Sweet Corn is very popular in the late spring/early summer and priced at for 4 ears for $1.00. The Market now sells reusable "Bull Dog" produce bags ($1.50 each) to carry the ears of corn. Each time a customer reuses their own bags, five cents is donated to support organic farming and their name is entered into a monthly drawing for gift certificates and products. We picked up several bags of nuts including chocolate covered macadamia nuts, which were sooo good, I ate three bags on my drive back to East LA. Next time I'm here, I must try the ice cream!!

Corn! Freshly harvested yellow and white corn is 5 for $2. Came just for the corn, pretty much like 99% of the other customers there (1% getting ice cream), after seeing it advertised on FB. I can attest that both types are sweet and juicy. Fresno State knows farming! It was my first time going to the Gibson Farm Market. Parking lot was full and the corn buyers were busy inside picking out their perfect ears. Lines at the register were long but went by quick. I noticed the fridge had a lot of sausages and meats and there were a few bins of other veggies, and shelves full with jars of honey, BBQ sauces, salsas, nuts, and seasonings. I didn't really get to peruse any of those items closely, since my mission that day was corn. I do regret not trying any of the FSU ice cream though. It looked really good, and 1 big scoop was only $2.75. If you live in Fresno, you should definitely support this local market. Go Bulldogs! You know you'll be getting the freshest produce and good quality products. This is going to be a must stop whenever I'm in town!

I always enjoy supporting FSU and the Gibson store; however, I was embarrasses when my brother told me the Fresno State wine I gave him for Christmas was "corked.". He said it was bad, the cork had a fungus-like taint. I was disappointed.

This cool store features products made on campus by students. There's a campus creamery, so milk, cheese, and ice cream can be found. There's a livestock production department, so steaks, sausages, and chops are for sale here. The sausages are quite lean and do not produce much fat/grease runoff when cooked. There's fruit jams and toppings, varietal raisins, wines, fresh produce, etc. here. It's worth your while to stop and have a look! The Autumn Royal seedless grapes are delicious! I can't seem to find them anywhere else.

Love going to the farm store. Nothing like home grown vegetables. Service is good and fruits and vegetables are always fresh.

Best ice cream place . Food is great. Free samples. Good selection of Fresno State ag products . Good place for bulldog wine. Good corn and other seasonal stuff.

Their raisins alone were worth the stop! The dried blueberries also were super yummy. And I had never heard of dried pomegranates, but I wish I had purchased more -- fantastic! I loved that the students at the register obviously took such pride in the store offerings.

I like the idea that maybe I'm doing a little something to help support the ag kids. Love their ice cream. They are known for their sweet corn every year, I wish they would start making Signature FSU milkshakes. They certainly have all of the needed ingredients.

If you have not yet gone to the Rue and Glen Gibson Market at Fresno State for corn, I would highly recommend you do so promptly. We went yesterday and sadly only purchased four ears of what turned out to be the most delicious corn we've ever had. Tomorrow we head back to buy way more. Yes I have had the FS corn agnolotti at the Annex Kitchen which was beautiful in every way but now I also see why people line up for this nectar of the gods. Please do yourself a favor and go get some. We didn't even have a line yesterday and there was plenty left. Just hurry cause when I go back I might just buy the rest!

Can you please sell your items online!!!!!! I'll be moving in a month!!! Im seriously gonna have withdrawals!! Ive become a regular here and coming once a week!! Almost everything I've had is amazing!! Every time I come in here, people are digging in the bins for the corn. I think the corn is okay and I keep buying more because I see everyone going crazy over the corn...in hopes of being fully convinced these are the absolute freshest in the world I keep restocking. The raspberry iced tea is my absolute favorite it is so good and you can actually taste the quality!! My favorite ice cream is the coconut almond one. It doesnt make you thirsty, its light and I can eat the whole tub in one sitting!! I want to try the chocolate milk next!! I just love this place and I dont feel bad spending a lot because it gives back to the community...thats my excuse and Im sticking to it :)

We just bought some peach ice cream. It had a terrible chemical taste. We through the entire carton away immediately. It's the worst ice cream I've ever eaten.

Pretty cool little place. This place has plenty of products such as Ice Cream, wine, BBQ sauces, seasonings, that have all been made by Fresno State students. The popular one for ice cream, I think it's called Bulldog Tracks, was OK, just not my usual type of flavor I like in an ice cream, so I can't really knock them for that. Everything that is bought here supports the programs at the university, and a discount is given for certain products as well if you show your student ID.

Everyone goes nuts for the corn. It's 3 for 0.99 cents. I came for wine for a gift. It was busy and the only workers were cashiers, so I wasn't able to get any help with wine. I grabbed a few stalks of corn for a gift and haven't tried it myself... which I need to do! There was a customer in front of me, an older man and we talked briefly about the corn and wine. The cashier looked a little rushed and prompted him to hurry up with our conversation. He spoke to her and was very friendly. All I can remember was her abrupt response to him, "Do you want your receipt? Yes or no?" Then he was on his way. I love that the place is all student based and the workers are students as well. They've got a nice thing going on here and it's all from the college. However, the student workers should get a lesson in customer service when speaking to customers... especially older individuals. The majority of the customers in that day were older too. Respect goes a long way. I'd want to give 4 stars, but her attitude left a sour taste in my mouth. 3 stars it is.

Fresno State is a renown ag college so it should not surprise anyone that their farm store would be excellent. There is plenty of parking all around this large building on Chestnut, just south of Barstow. You would be wise to pick up a cart at the front of the building so that you can load up on all the produce, meat, dairy, wine and canned goods inside. There are flowers and plants, too, if you get there at the right time. Although the building is large, it is not overstocked. There is plenty of room for more products as they come on the market. The store may not have what you are looking for at the time you are there as the food is produced on the farm and you will get what is fresh and in season. I recently discovered the Fresno State Blackberry Syrup and the Peach Chutney. Both are canned on the campus property as part of the food science classes. Also super delicious is the salami flavored with red wine and garlic. Again, made with ingredients produced on the campus and then cured on site. Be prepared to find new items each time you visit the farm store.

I love it here. It starts with supporting a local business and Fresno State students. Since the products are grown/produced by students there can be some inconsistency in quality & flavor. However, the items I consistently purchase are: # Corn # Wine # Raisins # Nuts # Jam # Hot dogs # Gift baskets All of these items are delicious and don't disappoint. The ice cream, herbs in planters and stone fruit are also good.

Wow, this place has come a long way. It's now in a brand new building (compared to when I was a student here) out by the Save Mart Center. They make some pretty awesome goodies ranging from wine to ice cream to nuts and sausages/steaks. I've always enjoyed coming by here whenever I'm around for a game and I have enjoyed every single purchase from their unique selection. This most recent time I tried the chocolate brownie strawberry ice cream sandwich. Wow, amazing! And HUGE! I thought there was going to be two in the package so my friend and I needed to cut it in half to share. The sausages are probably my favorite thing. Great variety of unique flavors. You can't go wrong with anything in this store, check it out.

What a great stop along the way heading towards Yosemite! We grabbed some amazing corn, Bull dogs (hot dogs) to grill, beef jerky, fresh fruit, and we couldn't resist the ice cream sandwiches for the road. This is an awesome way to showcase the agricultural program at the college!

Excellent service, fresh wonderful produce. You never know what the selection will be. It's good idea to call first to get a list of available items. The corn is the best in the world.

Stopping by the Fresno State Gibson Farm Market is a must-do whenever I am in town! I love their wide selection of fresh produce, meats, dairy products, nuts, and delicious RAISINS. They are also known for their super sweet corn which people line up for - it is just that good! Because their products come directly from Fresno State, you know that everything is fresh and pretty good quality. Plus, you're supporting the students and the local community!

Friendly staff great wines fresh produce and amazing ice cream. highly recommend the cookie dough and the cookies and cream Check me back to my childhood when the ice cream was good!

This is a great local place to check out. it has a variety of things available depending on the season. The corn of course is to die for, but get up early when its corn season because these babies sell fast. the ice cream is good and at the new location they have a counter where you can taste it and just order by the scoop They will have events to showcase things and those are the best way to test out what they have to offer. Parking is never hard to find prices are a little more then some grocery stores but this is because it is local products.

I was a doofus and left some items; they held them for me! Fairly knowledgeable, despite frequently changing offerings. They are currently running a sale on their Sangiovese. GET IT! It's a great wine, averaging $5 a bottle, if you buy in 2's. I bought 6! PLEASE NOTE: Their offerings change from week to week, so think of this like a farmer's market.

Score! Artisanal selection of meats, sausages, nuts, sauces and other goodies. Store also carries dairy and things like ice cream all created and produced right on campus. It's high quality and unlike anything available elsewhere. This store even has indoor and outdoor plants. I give it my highest, most awesome possum. rating distributed to few others! -G

4 years later, I finally go back to Fresno to visit. the ONE place i just had to hit up? The Fresno State Farm Market! For the past few years, I always thought about the ice cream that I used to buy on a weekly basis. This past week, I visited the Farm Market and bought ice cream and wine. While I was living in Fresno, I wasn't old enough to buy the wine, and never got the chance. I still haven't tried it yet, but I'm very excited. The ice cream was amazing as always. I just love this store. How many schools have their own market where everything is student made?! (I dont know but I think it's pretty damn cool)

Produce is fresh and fairly priced. Jarred items such as jam and BBQ sauce are grossly overpriced. I wouldn't expect to pay $10 for a 20 ounce bottle of BBQ sauce even if it was organic, which these versions are not. Store is understaffed and crowded. This place is full of potential but seems to be poorly operated.

I was shopping for Honey and was disappointed by the lack of variety (only one) and the taste and sweetness of the only wildflower honey they stocked. Barely tasted like honey and was very low in the sweet scale. They had only a few vegetable items stocked, wine, nuts and nicknack accessories. The new large building they are in belied the few vegetable items for sale. Yes they have great corn and ice cream too. But over all its very selective or lacks variety.

This place has to be one of my favorite discoveries ever. They have it all, and it's all made by students of the FSU agriculture department: wine, ice cream, sausage, steaks, vegetables. It's ridiculous. And believe it or not, but the wine is GOOD. Those young'ns know what they're doing with grapes. This is going to be a regular stop whenever we go up to visit my parents. Which will have to be soon, because the sausages and ice cream in our freezer aren't long for this world.
