The success of one city depends on its own people. With the vast resources on hand, Public Markets uphold and nourish their city's soul. A connection is forged when urban shoppers know the source of their food supply and come together to celebrate the simple, edible transactions of daily life.

As the premier indoor-outdoor Public Market in Bakersfield, Golden State Public Market believe in preserving and building upon Bakersfield's agricultural history which connects the region's citizens to their fertile lands, their rural communities and the bountiful selection of locally grown foods.

We believe in creating an urban culture that will appreciate and invest in the future of Northern California agriculture. Provide an engaging food shopping and eating atmosphere. Nurture the entrepreneurial spirit of food-related business. Encompass the belief that healthy food grown in a sustainable manner is a fundamental right for all people.

Among our main concern, Golden State Public Market promotes the unique and high quality fresh and prepared foods from the local farmers, to buyers regionally and nationally. To offer a full array of nutritious foods at fair prices for all income levels in both retail and wholesale transactions. Educate the region's buyers about healthy foods, their sources, and how to prepare them for their highest nutritional and flavor value. Endorse Bakersfield's economy by supporting regionally owned food-related business.
