Maria moved to Atlantic from Omaha, Nebraska two years ago with her husband and four kids. Wanting to get away from the hectic city life, Atlantic was the perfect spot for a slower paced lifestyle. The family fell in love with the community and opportunities offered in Cass County. The position as Market Manager came up unexpectedly for Maria. She took a chance at applying for the position and could not love it more after starting in March.

Produce in the Park is a homemade/homegrown style farmers market that is held every Thursday from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the summer months at the Atlantic City Park. With a wide variety of vendors, shoppers can find anything from produce, meats, plants, candles, and so much more. There are a lot of exciting things happening in Produce in the Park this year. You’ll find a mix of new and old vendors, food trucks, entertainment, activities, and theme nights. Maria is excited to give the entrepreneurs in the community a space to do their own thing and show off what they have been working on!

Produce in the Park is located at 102 Chestnut St. Atlantic, Iowa 50022.
