💚 Help Us Build the High Desert Farmers Market’s Future

For more than 35 years, the High Desert Farmers Market has been more than a place to shop. It has been a gathering place where local farmers, small businesses, families, and neighbors come together every Thursday.

Now, ...we need our community’s help.

Victor Valley College has moved forward with a significant rent increase. We have signed the new agreement so the market can remain open while we search for a more affordable and sustainable long-term home.

Our immediate need is approximately $75,000. These funds will help cover the increased rent during this transition, relocation expenses, permits, certifications, technology changes, signage, marketing, and everything required to move a certified farmers market legally and responsibly.

🛒 The market remains OPEN every Thursday at the VVC Lower Campus while we work toward this next chapter.

If you are able to help:

💚 Donate through our GoFundMe
📣 Share this fundraiser
🛒 Continue supporting our farmers and vendors

Donate here:
https://gofund.me/b2bbbb4cf

If funds remain after relocation is complete and all related obligations are paid, they will be donated to OUR Rescue to support the fight against human trafficking.

Every donation and every share matters. Thank you for believing in the future of the High Desert Farmers Market. 💚

💚 Thank You and What Comes Next

First and foremost, thank you.

To everyone who attended the Board meeting, spoke on our behalf, shared our posts, submitted potential locations, sent encouraging messages, or supported us in any way: we are incredibly grateful.

We want ...to be honest about where things stand. After our discussions and the Board meeting, Victor Valley College has decided to move forward with the proposed rent increase.

The High Desert Farmers Market cannot absorb an increase of this size without time to plan. However, keeping the market open and continuing to serve our community remain our highest priorities. Because of that, we have made the difficult decision to sign the new agreement while actively working toward a more affordable and sustainable long-term home.

🛒 The market remains open.

We will continue operating at the VVC Lower Campus every Thursday while we secure a suitable location and complete everything required to relocate legally and responsibly.

Finding land is only the beginning. Each potential site must be evaluated for demographics, traffic, accessibility, parking, vendor setup, operational logistics, zoning, and conditional use permit requirements.

Once a site is selected, we must also complete or transfer the necessary agricultural certifications, Environmental Health permits, USDA, CalFresh and WIC program approvals, EBT equipment, payment systems, website information, signage, printing, and marketing.

Even after securing a workable property, this process may take a minimum of three months.

Our GoFundMe is now live

We have launched a GoFundMe to help cover:

💚 The increased rent during this transition
🏡 Property, leasing, or potential purchase expenses
📋 Zoning, permits and required approvals
🌱 Certifications and program changes
💳 Technology, EBT and payment-system updates
🚚 Moving, setup, printing, signage and marketing

We have intentionally set an ambitious goal because our greatest hope is to find property the market can purchase and build upon for generations to come.

Any funds remaining after the market’s relocation is completed and all related obligations are paid will be donated to OUR Rescue to support the fight against human trafficking.

🔗 Donate here: https://gofund.me/b548e6d12

If you are unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser, continuing to shop with our farmers and vendors, or sending us a qualified property lead can make a meaningful difference.

Qualified property leads may be emailed to [email protected]. Please include the property address and the best contact person’s phone number or email address.

📣 Your voices are already making a difference!

We recently noticed that VVC adjusted the police-service billing from six hours to three hours per market day. We appreciate any movement toward reducing the market’s costs. This is encouraging progress, although the proposed rent ...increase and other facility-related expenses remain the larger issue and still need to be discussed.

The High Desert Farmers Market is scheduled as part of the Board’s closed session. Before the Board enters closed session, members of the public, including market representatives, will have an opportunity to speak regarding the matter.

Because public comment time is limited, we respectfully ask anyone who chooses to speak to keep their comments brief, constructive, and respectful. VVC has shown a willingness to listen to the concerns being raised, and we want tomorrow’s conversation to remain productive. Your presence alone will also help demonstrate how much the market means to our community. 💚

The closed session will be held in Conference Room 110, and the main public session will begin afterward in Board Room, Salon B.

🗓️ Tuesday, September 8
⏰ 5:00 PM
📍 Victor Valley College
Building 74, Conference Room 110

Please come out and stand with the farmers, vendors, small businesses, and community members who depend on the High Desert Farmers Market.

Your voices have already helped create change. Let’s continue the conversation together.

Please share this post and help us spread the word!

The High Desert Farmers Market remains OPEN every Thursday at the VVC Lower Campus from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM.

It's HAPPENING NOW and it is a beautiful day! ☀️🫐
