Seward Farmer's Market

For Seward residents looking to eat locally and support Nebraska agriculture, Seward Farmer's Market is a reliable source of fresh, in-season food from farms in the surrounding region.

Shoppers can visit Saturdays, 8 AM - 12 PM, June - October. Arriving early is recommended for the widest selection of products.

Farmers markets like Seward Farmer's Market represent a fundamentally different way of accessing food compared to a supermarket. When you shop at Seward Farmer's Market, the person selling you tomatoes is often the same person who planted them — a level of transparency and traceability that industrial food systems cannot replicate. That direct relationship is what draws many Seward residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Seward Farmer's Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs. Peak summer brings the widest variety — tomatoes, peppers, corn, stone fruits, and squash. By fall, the market shifts toward storage vegetables, apples, pears, preserves, and baked goods that make use of seasonal harvests. This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.

Seward Farmer's Market is committed to serving all members of the Seward community. SNAP/EBT benefits are accepted, meaning nutrition assistance recipients can use their benefits to buy fresh, locally grown produce and other eligible items directly from vendors. These programs reflect a broader commitment to food access that many farmers market organizers across Nebraska have prioritized in recent years.

By connecting Seward residents with local producers, Seward Farmer's Market supports a shorter, more transparent food supply chain that benefits both buyers and sellers.

Shoppers using EBT can take advantage of Seward Farmer's Market's SNAP acceptance to buy locally grown produce, eggs, and other eligible items from vendors.
