Get In Touch With Your Roots

Not your garden-variety destination, The Omaha Farmers Market features more than 95 vendors offering a selection of farm-fresh produce, hand-made crafts and specialty & gourmet items from local vendors.

Each week, nearly 5,000 shoppers go to market for an abundant array of truly local treats including fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, bedding plants, cut flowers, baked goods, jams and jellies, coffees, honey, cheese, organic foods, ethnic foods, dog biscuits and much more.

The Omaha Farmers Market traces its roots back nearly one hundred years. It all began at the turn of the century on the corner of 11th and Jackson Streets. This was the site of Omaha’s “City Market”, a very popular farmers’ market that local residents and grocers relied on for their produce and fresh goods. Until 1964, this was where local growers came to sell everything from fruits & vegetables to herbs and honey.

After a hiatus of 30 years, the Omaha Farmers Market was revived in 1994 on the very corner lot where the original market has thrived so many years before. It’s a great opportunity for supermarket goers to buy fresh local products, shake the hand of the grower and realize there are some things you can’t find in a store.
