FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – What’s described as the Central Valley’s favorite summer food is returning for 2024.
According to Fresno State, its ever-popular sweet corn will be available starting Friday, May 24.
The sweet corn will be sold for 75¢ per ear at the Gibson Farm Market, near the intersection of Barstow Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. The store will start selling the sweet corn at 8 a.m. on Friday.
As well as buying the seasonal sweet corn in-store, Fresno State will also be making available two mobile purchase stations outside, on the north side of the market, to serve opening-day customers who want to purchase pre-bagged corn in quantities of 10 ears for $10.
Fresno State reveals that the first 68 acres of sweet corn were planted on campus on January 12; additional blocks have been planted since to make sure there is enough sweet corn supply until the end of August.
