Farmers’ Market Returns to The Haymarket, Expands in Size

The Haymarket Farmers’ Market (lincolnhaymarket.org) is a growing entity that provides Lincoln with quality, uniqueness, and service. The market will be expanding again this year, staging vendors along Canopy Street, from P Street north to Q Street. The City of Lincoln’s Haymarket Farmers’ Market is open during 2019 every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, beginning May 4 and continuing through October 12.

The Farmers’ Market serves as one of Lincoln’s main social and culinary events. It is a place where people gather to shop, meet with friends, exchange ideas and recipes to plan the perfect feast. Farmers’ Market is ever changing in its effort to present an enormous array of fresh, locally-grown produce and farm-produced products. The market displays glorious flowers, delicious bakery items, and Nebraska arts and crafts. You will find baskets and tables overflowing with wonderful products that you can only find on Saturday mornings in this historic district. Many of the restaurants and retail stores open early as well, offering a unique selection of food, antiques, clothing, and specialty gifts. It is a grand display of how rural and urban business can work together to offer a rich shopping experience.

The market boasts a “Performance Showcase” program. Featured are both local and Nebraska talent performing folk, jazz, blues, classical, and dance. It is indeed a delight to applaud these talented artists. The Farmers’ Market also offers educational demonstrations to inform customers and vendors about various programs like nutrition and aging.
