BEATRICE – There’s still a few weeks left in the season for a popular farmer’s market in Beatrice.
Thursday late afternoon and early evening, the Main Street Beatrice Farmers Market sets up shop at the parking lot, located at the southeast corner of 8th and Court.

Main Street Beatrice Executive Director Michael Sothan says where the vendors are coming from create more than just an in-city market. Vendors have come to the market from Deshler, Hebron, south of Marysville, Kansas, from Seward, Saline County, Thayer and Jefferson Counties, a lot of Gage County, Pawnee and Johnson Counties. "We have a regional market that's attracting both customers and vendors from thirty, forty, fifty miles away", Sothan said.

There’s a return trip being planned by a Wisconsin producer of maple syrup, that was a popular season-ending feature at the regional market last year. Sothan says Davis Family Sugar Shack will be setting up at the regional market in a couple of weeks.

The Wisconsin family markets their product in several Nebraska communities and surrounding regions and part of that distribution involves farmers markets.
The Main Street Beatrice Farmers Market hours on Thursdays are four p.m. until six-thirty p.m. The final market of the season will be coming up, October 10th.
