Helgoth's Melons, Pumpkins, and Produce

Saint Libory, NE

Helgoth's sells melons, pumpkins, and garden produce out of Saint Libory in Howard County, central Nebraska. The sandy ground of the Loup and Platte valleys is watermelon and cantaloupe country, and the stand follows that season from late-summer melons into the fall pumpkin run. The listing carries only a Saint Libory P.O. box.

Lambert Melons

Ewing, NE

Lambert Melons grows and sells melons near Ewing in Holt County, part of north-central Nebraska's sandy-soil melon country. Public details are sparse online, typical of a seasonal roadside grower selling summer melons at harvest.

Naber's Produce Farm

York, NE

Naber Produce Farm has grown produce since 1992, moving in 1997 to family land near York at 1008 Road R. They are known for sweet corn, using biodegradable plastic and short early varieties to bring corn to market nearly two weeks ahead of conventional growers. They also raise cantaloupe, peppers, potatoes, and watermelon, all grown in soil rather than hydroponically, and sell through farmers markets, roadside stands, and a CSA.

Nelson Produce Farm

Tyler and Pam Nelson farm more than 1,600 acres near Valley, northwest of Omaha, and rank as Nebraska's largest watermelon growers. Beyond the produce stand, they opened the farm to visitors in 2019 with U-pick fields, a corn maze, and seasonal festivals for tulips, strawberries, sweet corn, sunflowers, and fall harvest. The family has supplied the Omaha area with fresh produce for more than 15 years.

Pekarek's Produce

Ryan Pekarek started this vegetable farm near Dwight in 2004 while still in college and now grows more than 50 crops across 15-plus acres. The season opens in April with radishes, lettuce, and spinach, moves through beans, beets, and sweet corn, and closes in fall with tomatoes, melons, squash, and pumpkins. Pekarek sells to area schools and the Lone Tree Foods distributor, and at the Seward and Lincoln Haymarket markets.

Princeton Produce

Princeton Produce is a produce grower on Pella Road near Princeton, a small community in Lancaster County south of Lincoln. Verified details are limited online. The listing places it among the area's seasonal produce and agritourism stops.

Ramsey's Sweet Corn

Roca Berry Farm

Roca, NE

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.
