San Bernardino County residents are about to get a fresh new opportunity to shop local and enjoy a cultural outing all in one place. The California Farmers Market Collective is set to launch a new Certified Farmers Market at the San Bernardino County Museum, located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane in San Bernardino.
Grand Opening: A New Tuesday Tradition
The Grand Opening is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th, and will run from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The market will continue this schedule on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.
Fresh Finds from the California Farmers Market Collective
This new evening market aims to become a busy community hub, featuring a vast selection of fresh produce and artisan goods from the California Farmers Market Collective, known for curating markets featuring the best of California's agriculture and artisanal talent. Shoppers can anticipate a bountiful selection of fresh produce, including seasonal fruits, heirloom vegetables, herbs, and flowers sourced directly from certified California family farms. Beyond the farm-fresh offerings, the market will feature a tempting variety of prepared foods and artisan goods. Visitors can look forward to gourmet baked goods, specialty cheeses, local honey, fresh-squeezed juices, and a selection of hot food vendors offering diverse culinary treats. Hand-crafted items, such as unique jewelry, woodcrafts, and candles, are also expected to be a staple, offering perfect opportunities for one-of-a-kind gifts.
More Than a Market: The Museum's Dual Event Advantage
A significant feature of the market's location is its ability to serve as a dual event, inviting visitors to enjoy both the market and the museum on the same day. This unique partnership transforms a typical grocery run into an enriching cultural and educational experience.
Exploring History: What to See at the San Bernardino County Museum
The San Bernardino County Museum is dedicated to developing visitors' appreciation of the region's dynamic cultural and natural history, stimulating inquiry, and connecting people to the diverse regional identity of Inland Southern California. The museum's collections and exhibits cover a wide range of content, including anthropology, archaeology, art, biology, geology, and paleontology. The dual-event nature of the location means attendees can easily transition from browsing fresh produce to exploring ancient history. Current and recent exhibits often feature fascinating looks into the region's past, such as "Minerals Rock! Unearthing the Human Element," "Path of the Mastodon," and "Pulp Culture: A Juicy Tale of the Orange Empire," which explores the history of the local citrus industry. The combination of the vibrant farmers market and the museum's educational offerings promises to make the San Bernardino County Museum a must-visit destination on the first and third Tuesdays of every month, with the market running from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., starting with the grand opening on November 4th.
