If you’re one of those California fruits and nuts that knows a peach from an apricot, a nectarine from a plum, and a mandarin from a navel, you’ll be glad to know that Running Springs Farmer’s Market and Artisan Fair has its season opener May 17 so you can get your fill. The weekly street fair is set among scented pines in the spectacular San Bernardino forest at an elevation of around 6,100 feet. This is a fantastic market to stock up on healthy foods as you make your way to a rental cabin in Big Bear or Running Springs.

Market farmers and vendors sell no-pesticide produce, olive oil, bread, eggs, fruits, soaps, clothing, jewelry, planters, jewelry, paintings and unique gifts for every occasion. On Saturdays starting May 17 and running through October 2013,  Running Springs market is open 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.  Location: 2625 Whispering Pines, Running Springs, CA. If you have questions about the market, call Running Springs Chamber of Commerce: (909) 867-2411, runningspringschamber.com.
