OUR MISSION: The Highland Park Farmers Market is designed to promote and provide opportunities for Nebraska farmers to market and sell fresh produce direct to the consumer. In addition the Highland Park Farmers Market also provides an opportunity for local Nebraska-based bakers and crafters to display and sell their value-added products direct to the consumers. The goal of the Farmers Market is to create a sense of community and promote a positive image of the historical and cultural heritage of Highland Park and the Museum.
The market started in 2009 with a few vendors and has grown to one of Central Nebraska's largest markets. Previously managed by farmers and growers, in 2026 Prairie Loft Center of Outdoor & Agricultural Learning was approached to oversee the market management. The joining of these two organizations will keep the market as-is and support Prairie Loft's mission to teach agricultural appreciation, outdoor education, cultural connection and the wise use of natural resources. This partnership will ensure the success of the Highland Park Farmers Market and its vendors.
