The Central Valley is known as the breadbasket of the world, and Fresno plays a vital role in U.S. agriculture due to its expansive farmlands. The city is centrally located, offering convenient access to a variety of destinations, including the Central Coast (less than 2.5 hours away), San Francisco and the Bay Area (approximately 3 hours), Los Angeles (just over 3 hours), and Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks (less than 1.5 hours).
