A wide variety of Fresno State campus farm products will be available at a new campus farm stand at the The Square at Campus Pointe this summer from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday evenings from July 2 to October 5.
The farm stand will offer popular Gibson Farm Market items such as sweet corn, fresh fruit and vegetables, olive oil, and jarred salsas, sauces and jams.
Other new summer season products such as a sweet corn salsa, sausages and mustard may also be featured and are created on the 1,000-acre University Agricultural Laboratory that is operated by Fresno State staff and students.
“We’re excited to showcase our fresh farm market products to a new group of customers who are enjoying dinner or shopping at Campus Pointe,” said Jeremy Lewis, Gibson Farm market manager. “Central Valley farm stands are a local institution since many shoppers enjoy learning how their food is raised, so many of our campus farm unit managers and students will be on hand to answer their questions and share their pride in being part of the nation’s leading agricultural area.”
The Square at Campus Pointe also hosts free salsa dancing from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the third Monday of each month; and stroller workouts for moms from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
In addition, Campus Pointe’s Rock the Mall with 95.7 The Fox has three more events from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 28, Tuesday, July 12 and Tuesday, July 26. Families are invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets and enjoy classic rock music in the open air.
