New Upland farmers’ market

The new Upland Heritage Certified Farmers’ Market at Upland High School is much more than a place to browse through fresh fruits and vegetables.

Appropriately located on a school campus, it brings together education and the resources needed for community members to live healthier lives.

The Heritage Farmers’ Market at Upland High is the first such retail market featuring foods sold directly by farmers to consumers on a public K-12 campus in San Bernardino County, said Natalia Romuzga, a student at Claremont Graduate University who coordinated the project.

Featuring affordably priced fresh and local fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, eggs, honey and baked goods, the market is located at the north side of the high school campus along Foothill Boulevard. It will be open to the public from 9 am to 1 pm every Saturday.
