OUR MISSION
The Board of Directors of the Benson Farmers Market, a Nebraska nonprofit corporation, adopted this Mission Statement as the Preamble to its Bylaws on September 14, 2011:
The Mission of the Benson Farmers Market is to provide a venue where our community can access fresh, locally-grown foods and artisans' goods and services.
The Market supports neighborhood outreach, wellness, and health by hosting family-friendly events that invite participation from the community at large.
The Market creates a place that is welcoming and that encourages direct relationships between producers and consumers.
In this spirit, the Benson Farmers Market has developed its website as an interactive social network. We invite you to share our vision and join our journey. Become a member today─just click on "Sign Up" in the upper right-hand corner of this page.

Birthdays
There are no birthdays today
May 5. The Market began its fifth season today with its traditional season opener, the pancake breakfast! Special thanks go to James at Ella's across the street, who flipped flapjacks and seared sausages in his fine kitchen. Friends and neighbors gathered to eat and shop, greeting vendors old and new against a background of musical stylings by Robert Matter and Above Ground.
STILL PLANNING THAT GARDEN?
Don't let the unseasonably early spring mislead you─there's plenty of time left to get your garden started or to add some last-minute selections. (Just remember that the latest spring freeze date in Omaha is May 13. For more Omaha climate information, see the graph at the bottom of our weather page.) Shop the Market for live plants from vendors like Blooms Organic, Parsons Gardens, and Rawhide Creek Tomatoes.
NOW─CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS!
The Market accepts credit and debit cards on behalf of its vendors for all purchases. For shopping, denominated tokens may be purchased at the Market booth that will be accepted by any Market vendor. Large purchases from a single vendor can also be paid at the Market booth. There is no charge to either vendors or customers for this service.
SNAP/EBT CARDS! SENIOR & WIC VOUCHERS!
The Market honors EBT cards for qualified purchases under the USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Market will also redeem Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) and WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program (WIC FMNP) vouchers.
TRY THE MONTHLY "FLEA MARKET"!
"Junk is the stuff you throw away; stuff is the junk you keep." Got stuff? Thin it out!─bring it to the Market on the last Saturday of every month. For $10, you can put up a tent or set out a table, or even sell right from your car, truck, or van. "Flea Market Saturdays" this season will be May 26, June 30, July 28, August 25, and September 29.
Have the stuff but don't have the table? You can rent a 6-foot table from the Market for only $5 more!
