Photo Essay: Omaha Farmers Market
I was kind of stunned at the relative ferocity of the Des Moines Farmers’ Market, featured here by our man in Des Moines. The Omaha farmers markets are not quite the carnival, maybe because there are three main attractions throughout the city: one downtown, one in Aksarben Village [both run under the banner of Omaha Farmers Market -ed.], and one at Village Point. I’ve been to the Aksarben Village farmers market, which is nice, but not quite as large as the one in the Old Market, which is featured here.

Several of the highlights of the Omaha farmer’s market, for me at least, are Eric’s Enchilada’s and the Parthenon. The smell of cooking tamales is the smell of summer, and the Parthenon’s scones are the best I’ve ever had: soft, buttery, and delicious.
