Omaha Farmers Market - Charles Drew Health Center

Methodist appears alongside the market’s customer resources, one sign of how this Omaha market connects food shopping with everyday health and nutrition support. At the Charles Drew Health Center location, that emphasis sits within the broader Omaha Farmers Market network, which runs from May through October and features produce, herbs, plants, fresh-cut flowers, meats, baked goods, cheese, eggs, prepared foods, crafts, and specialty items. The vendor roster is deep, with 100 vendors claimed across the market and a mix that ranges from farm produce and mushrooms to bread, cheese, tea, kombucha, and prepared foods.

Why it matters locally

Charles Drew Health Center gives this market a North Omaha anchor, placing food access within a health-centered setting rather than treating it as a separate errand. The market’s own customer resources reinforce that link: Meals by Methodist appears in navigation alongside food assistance information, and SNAP, EBT, Double Up Food Bucks, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program are built into the market’s public-facing materials.

The local network around the market is also unusually visible. Community partners listed with the market include No More Empty Pots, Hunger Free Heartland, Buy Local Nebraska, Center for Nutrition & Health Impact, Live Well Omaha, Omaha Sprouts, and Community Gardens. That pairing of growers, food assistance, and neighborhood health organizations gives this location a practical role in how Omaha residents buy food during the market season.

What you'll find there

The overall mix runs broad rather than narrow, with growers, bakeries, specialty food makers, meat vendors, plant sellers, and craft businesses all represented in the roster. For a shopper, that means this location sits inside a market system where a produce stop can easily turn into bread, cheese, tea, flowers, mushrooms, and prepared food in one trip.

Know before you go

Dogs are welcome, which matters if this market stop is part of a weekend walk rather than a quick produce run. This location is at 2915 Grant Street at Charles Drew Health Center in Omaha. The broader Omaha Farmers Market operation lists on-site managers by day and location, with Barb Knapp named among the Saturday on-site managers and Kristen Beck listed as Executive Director & Project Manager.

Restrooms are not listed here, so plan your visit around that. If you want a fuller first pass through the vendors, the market’s 100-vendor claim suggests a shopping list helps, especially when you are choosing among produce growers, bakeries, meat vendors, prepared foods, and craft sellers.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market, and the market also highlights Double Up Food Bucks and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers as ways to spend on site. That food-assistance setup is one of the clearest practical features of the Omaha Farmers Market system, especially at a location tied to Charles Drew Health Center.
