GreenLeaf Farms is a model of the "buy fresh, buy local" movement and a favorite at the Omaha Farmers Market. The ten acre farm is run by Joletta Hoesing and Tim Rogers outside of Omaha, Nebraska. This year they are celebrating both the farm's tenth year as an organically certified farm, as well as their tenth year at the Omaha Farmers Market. The farm produces over 200 different kinds of vegetables, a variety of herbs, culinary herbs, garlic and flowers; providing a variety of produce throughout the season for Market customers.

Tim, a native of Boston, came to the Midwest in the 90's and fell in love with the landscape. With a new passion to farm Tim attributes his calling to a, "love of the land and seeing a need to bring quality food to the market." In 1998 Tim and Joletta moved to Nebraska and started GreenLeaf Farms. GreenLeaf Farms is a certified organic operation, cultivating and growing all produce without the use of synthetic chemicals or hormones. This method of farming emphasizes good land stewardship by replacing nutrients back to the land and providing the consumer with organic, fresh produce. Tim insists that, "food integrity starts with land integrity." GreenLeaf Farms not only emphasizes land integrity but also the importance of sustaining the community by their commitment to the Community Supported Agriculture Program. This initiative has become popular on both the east and west coast, but is slowly gaining momentum in the Midwest. Entering their third year in the program, GreenLeaf Farms partners with 50 consumers who pay a share at the beginning of the season. The consumer shares the risks that may occur during the harvesting season, in turn GreenLeaf Farms provides each consumer with a weekly box of fresh produce for 26 weeks. This shared partnership benefits both the farm and the consumer, emphasizing the importance of buying local and fresh produce.

Tim and Joletta are not only known for their fresh, organic produce, but also as one of the Market's favorite vendors. They can be heard across the Market entertaining customers, educating on produce and adding to the atmosphere that makes the Omaha Farmer's Market the place to be on Saturday mornings!
