Nelson Produce Farm
Valley, Nebraska; Douglas County
For over 15 years, Tyler and Pam Nelson, along with their 4 girls, have supplied Omaha and the surrounding areas with farm fresh produce. As first-generation vegetable farmers, they have spent the last decade and a half working hard on the land and at their dreams. They farm over 1,600 acres of produce and are the largest watermelon producers in Nebraska.
In 2019, a new dream was born—to invite the surrounding areas and beyond to experience their everyday life, educate the public about the ins and outs of farming and the agricultural industry, and have a great time enjoying Nebraska’s beautiful outdoors. They opened their doors to the public to help bridge the gap between rural and urban Nebraska.
Guests at the farm can tour the interactive property, pick fresh produce from our acres of fruit and vegetable plants like ripe strawberries in the summer or big ol’ pumpkins in the fall, and engage with our sweet barnyard animals.
Come jump hay bales, ride pedal trikes, take a trip on our barrel train, and spend hours getting creative in our natural playground. And make sure to stop by Pam’s Kitchen for a Lil’ Farmer Meal or Watermelon Slushie. We have a full menu of homemade meals and baked goods available daily!
