Farmers Markets near Riverside, CA

Riverside

Riverside is where California's navel orange industry began.

This certified market runs on Arlington Avenue, a stop for growers from the Inland Empire's remaining citrus and produce farms.

Rancho Cucamonga

Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the promenade at Terra Vista Town Center on Foothill Boulevard — produce, fresh flowers, honey, and baked goods from local vendors.

It runs seasonally, spring through fall, and pauses around the Fourth of July. EBT and SNAP are accepted at the produce stalls.

Redlands built its economy on navel oranges, and Citrus Avenue still carries the name. This market sets up on that stretch of downtown Redlands, a spot for growers from the surrounding groves and small farms of the San Bernardino Valley to sell direct to residents.

Redlands

Redlands' Saturday morning market is a certified producer market, meaning the growers selling here are required to have grown what's on their tables themselves rather than reselling from wholesale. It runs in downtown Redlands, part of a farm town legacy that traces back to the citrus boom of the 1880s.

REDLANDS

This certified market runs Saturdays in downtown Redlands, a weekend fixture for shoppers stocking up for the week ahead.

Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Certified Farmers' Market has run every Sunday for more than 17 years at Canyon Lake Towne Center, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., rain or shine.

Pomona

A California Certified Farmers' Market held in downtown Pomona's Thomas Plaza. Certification means every vendor is required to sell only produce or goods they grow or make themselves, not resell — the standard that separates a true farmers market from a produce stand.

Pomona

Inland Valley Hope Partners, a local nonprofit, sponsors this Saturday market at Pearl Street and Garey Avenue — 9am to 1:30pm, year-round, rain or shine.

La Verne

The Old Town La Verne Business Association runs this year-round market at 2343 D Street, a rare indoor setup rather than the usual open-air stalls. It draws a loyal local following — its Facebook page has topped 1,500 followers — for fresh produce, baked goods, and specialty gourmet items from regional growers. Running indoors means it isn't weather-dependent, which is unusual for a Southern California certified market.

Running Springs

Many visitors come year-round to enjoy the San Bernardino National Forest.

San Dimas Farmers Market runs Wednesdays, 4 to 8:30 p.m., from April through September at 245 E Bonita Ave. Advocates for Healthy Living, a local nonprofit, runs it as a certified producer market — the farm stands are selling what they actually grew, not resold produce.

Brea Farmers' Market sets up Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. year-round at 145 S. State College Blvd., sponsored by the Orange County Farm Bureau.

San Jacinto

San Jacinto Valley Certified Farmers' Market sets up at The Farmers' Corner on San Jacinto Ave, open Thursdays and Sundays year-round, with Sunday hours running 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in spring and summer.

Downtown Anaheim's certified farmers market sets up on the Center Street Promenade every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Downtown Anaheim Association runs it alongside neighboring anchors like Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum, making it part of a walkable strip of shops and restaurants rather than a stand-alone parking-lot market.

Fullerton

Downtown Fullerton's Thursday evening market runs 4 to 8:30 p.m., April through September, at 125 E.
