Be sure to come inside the Mill! The museum on the first floor is open for tours. On exhibit in the second floor’s ArtLoft are landscapes by the Omaha Plein Air Painters. This group has been painting together for two years; in Dodge Park, Elmwood Park, the Florence Mill and all around our big outdoors. This is their first exhibit. Each Sunday in June one of the artists will be painting the farmers market, so come see who’s painting and watch it evolve!

About the Farmers Market: Surrounded by a green field, the Florence Mill Farmers Market is a rustic and rural setting for farm-fresh produce and artisans in an authentic, unique, historical setting. The Florence Mill is a blending of history, art, and agriculture. The site is also one of Omaha’s preservation success stories. A farmers market is an ideal way to bring agriculture back to this once obsolete country mill & grain elevator. And just like mills of yore, the Florence Mill is again a place for the community to gather, shop and converse. But instead of grinding the grain, we are picking out farm-fresh produce.
