Nebraska Farmers Markets

The market's own page or noticeboard is where that is published. This page carries what the 56 Nebraska listings in USDA's directory say about their own seasons and hours, and when each of those records was last updated, with a link to each record.

Across the 18 Nebraska seasons in USDA's directory that can be read as a range, the middle one opens around June 1 and closes around September 30, about 17 weeks. 18 of those were a month range the operator typed rather than a filed date pair, which widens it by up to a month at each end. It is a median of what operators filed, not a schedule: half of them open later than that by construction, and 0 Nebraska listings are year round and excluded from it entirely.

Mixed, and here is the split. Of 56 listings, 0 filed a season as two real dates, 18 typed a month range into the date field, 0 wrote year round, 0 typed something that cannot be read as a range and 38 left it blank. 18 file weekly hours and 56 carry usable coordinates, which is what the ZIP tool ranks on. The records themselves were last touched between January 2019 and March 2023.

By the directory's own vendor counts, which are the operators' own figures: Omaha Farmers Market - Aksarben Village at 120 vendors, Beatrice Farmers Market Indian Creek Mall at 50 vendors and Beaver City Farmers Market at 50 vendors. Only 19 of 56 Nebraska listings give a vendor count at all, so this ranks the ones that answered rather than the state.

2 of the 56 Nebraska listings told USDA they participate in a federal nutrition assistance programme, 4 percent. That is the operator's own answer on its own record and it carries the same age caveat as everything else here, so treat it as a reason to ask rather than as a guarantee at the till.

The markets themselves do, almost always as independent nonprofits, town committees or vendor cooperatives. The public body is Nebraska Department of Agriculture, which keeps the state's own market list.
