Produce Farms near Lincoln, NE

Lincoln

Roca

Roca Berry Farm has grown strawberries since 1980 and now runs one of southeast Nebraska's busiest fall destinations just south of Lincoln in Roca. Beyond the pumpkin patch, the farm packs in 70-plus attractions: hayrides, carnival rides, a locomotive train, mini ziplines, corn mazes, and a mega slide. Daytime is the family Fall Festival; nights turn into the Roca Scary Farm haunt, and December brings the Roca Merry Farm holiday event.

The farm raises certified organic pastured pork, 100% grass-fed beef, and gorgeous pasture eggs plus two acres of veggies and herbs, with an annual spring organic plant sale and eggs stocked at Lincoln grocers.
