Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store

The Farm Store sells fruits, vegetables, food, drink, and other market items sourced from Cal Poly

Pomona’s farms and fields directly to the public. Not only does the Farm Store hire Cal Poly Pomona

students from across campus, the Huntley College of Agriculture supports a “learn by doing”

environment through student enterprise projects. Using the latest technology on the Cal Poly Pomona

fields, facilities, and in the greenhouses, students have the opportunity to learn everything about food

production from start to finish. All of the products eventually end up for sale in the Farm Store, sold to

distributors, or are given to local food banks. A large part of the proceeds go back to the students to

support their educational expenses and activities. The Farm Store also houses a Petting Farm for many

farm animals, as well as hosts public events beloved by the local community, such as the annual

Pumpkin Festival.
