Why We Built This

San Bernardino County is the largest county in the contiguous United States — over 20,000 square miles stretching from the suburbs of Los Angeles to the Mojave Desert. Across that sprawl, 26 certified farmers markets operate on different days, different schedules, and different seasons. Finding the right one shouldn't require digging through outdated city websites or scrolling through Facebook pages that haven't been updated since last year.

We built this directory to put every market in one place, organized by day, with the details that actually matter: address, hours, season, and phone number. No clutter, no sign-up walls, no ads.

What "Certified" Means

Every market listed on this site is a California Certified Farmers Market, meaning it operates under a permit from the county's Agricultural Commissioner. Certified markets are required to verify that vendors are selling produce they actually grew — not reselling wholesale goods from a distribution center.

This distinction matters. When you buy at a certified market, you're buying directly from the grower. The person behind the table can tell you what variety of peach you're holding, when it was picked, and what's coming into season next week. That direct connection between grower and consumer is the whole point.

Where Our Data Comes From

All market information is sourced from the San Bernardino County Department of Agriculture, Weights & Measures, which maintains the official registry of certified farmers market locations in the county. We cross-reference with individual market operators to confirm hours and seasonal schedules.

If you notice outdated information — a market that moved, changed hours, or closed — please reach out so we can update it. Keeping this directory accurate is an ongoing effort, and local knowledge is the best source.

The Inland Empire's Agricultural Roots

It's easy to think of the Inland Empire as freeways and subdivisions, but the region has deep agricultural history. The citrus industry that put Redlands and Riverside on the map in the early 1900s shaped the economy, the landscape, and the culture of the entire area. San Bernardino County still has active farmland — particularly in the high desert, the eastern valleys, and the mountain communities — and the growers who work that land are the backbone of these markets.

Farmers markets are one of the few places where that agricultural identity is still visible in daily life. They connect the people who live here with the land that surrounds them, even as the region continues to grow and change.

What You'll Find on This Site

We'll continue adding guides for more markets across the county. If there's a specific market you'd like to see covered, let us know.
