Village Pointe Farmers Market is a true West Omaha Farmers Market located at 168th and Dodge.
It was established to meet two simple and important ideals:

1. To elevate community awareness of the importance of sustainable, local, family-owned farms
and the wholesome food that comes from them and its importance to our health.

2. And to provide that wholesome food to the community at a location in West Omaha.

For new vendors interested in coming to Market, here are some reasons our current vendors say are important to them:

• Location: West Omaha deserves a farmers market and has demonstrated that it will support one.
• Low cost: 100% of the vendor fee (around $200 for the season) goes directly to promote the market.
• Purpose: The VPFM is for farmers and consumers. It's not a marketing event to promote a business.
• Each Saturday, 35,000 automobiles enter Village Pointe through the road the Market is on.
• Village Pointe Shopping Center and the VPFM sponsors have committed ample support to promote the Market.
• It's easy and convenient to access and load in; plenty of space and not cramped.
PLUS - we have fun!

Locally grown foods are fresher, more nutritious and you learn about the food you buy from the person who produced it.
When you shop at a real Farmers Market, you are getting the best food you can for your table.
