📢 Help Us Find a Future Home

For more than 35 years, the High Desert Farmers Market has connected our community with Southern California farmers, local food producers, and small businesses.

We are currently reviewing our lease renewal at Victor Valley College. Under the ...proposed terms, our monthly rent would increase to $4,000 (double our previous agreement), plus an additional $3,000 in facility-related expenses, including police services. This would bring the cost of remaining open at VVC to approximately $7,000 each month.

That figure reflects only our VVC-related costs and does not include other operating expenses, such as permits, maintenance, and parking patrols.

These increased operating expenses would create a ripple effect throughout the market. To cover the additional costs, we would have to increase fees for our farmers and vendors, who may then have to pass those costs along through their prices. Finding an affordable and stable home would help us protect the accessibility of the market for our farmers, vendors, and customers.

The property may also be developed in the future, which means the market could be asked to relocate with limited notice. Because of this, we are beginning the search for a long-term home where the High Desert Farmers Market can continue serving our community and build for the future.

The market remains OPEN at Victor Valley College while we conduct this search.

We are looking for approximately 20 acres within a three-mile radius of our current location. Staying nearby would help us remain accessible and affordable for our farmers, vendors, and customers.

Do you know of a property, landowner, organization, or potential community partner who may be able to help? We are open to discussing available land, long-term leases, purchases, partnerships, and other possibilities.

Qualified leads may be sent privately to [email protected]

Please share this post. The right person or organization may already be connected to someone in our market community.
