Omaha Farmers Market - Old Market

The Omaha Farmers Market’s Old Market season ties into a larger downtown tradition: its Holiday Market began through a partnership with the Holiday Lights Festival in the Old Market. That link fits the setting at 11th & Jackson Street, where the Saturday market runs in the Old Market and brings together growers, bakers, prepared-food vendors, beverage makers, plant sellers, artists, and pet-focused businesses in one weekly lineup. With about 100 vendors claimed for the market, this is a broad Saturday stop rather than a produce-only pickup.

Why it matters locally

The market’s mission centers on making fresh and unique products available and accessible to the public while providing sales revenue for local growers, artisans, and producers. Its vision also names community connection, sustainability, and food access alongside locally grown and produced food.

That local role shows up in the mix of partners around the market, including Buy Fresh, Buy Local Nebraska, No More Empty Pots, Hunger Free Heartland, Live Well Omaha, and Omaha Sprouts. The market also lists SNAP and WIC among its community partners, tying everyday shopping here to food-assistance access instead of treating it as a separate program.

What you'll find there

The Old Market roster spans farm produce, beef, mushrooms, baked goods, cheese, drinks, pantry items, flowers, art, and pet goods, so a Saturday visit can cover staples and specialty pickups in one pass. The lineup also reaches beyond raw ingredients into ready-to-eat food and small-batch makers, which gives this market a broader feel than a farm stand row.
