This was so fun to walk around during a busy Saturday morning! Despite the 80° weather, the place…read morewas packed. My friend and I had fun touring not only the inside, but several shops that had set up outside the day we came. Plenty of fresh produce, homemade goods, flowers, and fun things to look at. I wish the air control was a little better, coming on such a hot day! We preferred to be outside as it was very stuffy inside. Still a very fun spot to walk around, and a much bigger farmers market than I am used to. We ended up, leaving with several items, and were very happy with our purchases!

One of my absolutely favorite places in Lancaster. There is a great variety of stands for any mood…read moreyou are in. If you only visit Lancaster for a few days this is one of the places you have to go. My favorite stands: 1) S. Clyde Weaver has insane specialty sandwiches and is one of my favorite delis. I typically get a large roast beef sandwich with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and the sweet bell peppers. The peppers are my favorite and I always ask for as many as they are legally allowed to give me. Caution: the large subs are ginormous so I usually eat half then save the rest for later. The bread holds up pretty well and doesn't get super soggy, but if you plan to eat it the next day, I would forgo the tomato which can get a bit slippery. 2) Kom Essa features the best breakfast sandwich around. It's greasy, but if that's something you don't mind, this is a must try. 2) Mean Cup is for anything coffee/caffeine related. This might be the best coffee in Lancaster. I practically give all my money to their storefront shop on Harrisburg Pike. 3) Shady Maple is the perfect stop for sweet treats: donuts, whoopie pies, etc. They used to have the best maple bacon long johns (hear me out) but I haven't seen them there for a while. 4) The Candy Stand is nostalgia central for me. Pretty much any type of candy you can think of, you can find there. This was a staple for me when I was younger. 5) Long's Horseradish features the best horseradish you can buy in a gagillion different flavors and variations.

To put it simply, we were born away by our visit to Roots. We had never been to a farmers market…read moreanywhere near the size and diversity of this one. Dozens -- no, hundreds -- of vendors, Amish and others, selling an astonishing variety of foods and gifts of all descriptions. Sorry to be so wordy and vague, but there is so much to Roots. First off, it's open only on Tuesdays, so plan ahead. And get there early; the parking spots -- there are a lot of them -- really fill up. When we arrived at 10:30am, we circled and circled before finding a spot. Secondly, it can get very crowded, and in summer very hot. Dress accordingly. And please note that many of the vendors accept cash only. There are ATM machines scattered around the area, however. The market has indoor and outdoor vendor stands. We loved the delightfully huge food offerings (indoors). Everything fresh. All kinds of meats (loved those sausages). Every kind of fruit and vegetable you could want. lots of Amish vendors, but plenty of others. too. And wow, the selection of foods, clothing items (we bought beautiful, hand-cut belts), antiques, and ...well, we can go on and on. We spent hours here and came away exhausted and VERY happy. And we found ourselves wondering why can't we have a farmers market just half this size with a fraction of the goods for sale somewhere nearer us in New England? Honestly, we could go on for pages about this. We had a wonderful time and recommend a stop here. (And we were told there are several other really outstanding markets in the area). All the other positive Yelps you read about this place are right on. We're fortunate to have visited and are eager to return -- just wish it was closer.

Root's Country Market & Auction, a Lancaster County shopping staple since 1926…read more A beautiful spring Tuesday to shop for just about anything at Root's. I came specifically to shop in the Main building, area 3, for Tropical Forest Shea Butter Soaps as a birthday gift. I learned about Tropical Forest at the 2025 PA Christmas + Gift Show at the Harrisburg Farm Show Complex. Tropical Forest also has a stand at Green Dragon Farmer's Market. I am thankful this farmer's market has a website with a directory of most of the vendors and an office with people to answer questions. And free maps of the entire farmer's market. There is plenty of parking, a plethora of food places to take off or eat while there, a large number of restrooms, and great signage inside and outside of all the buildings. Worth noting, not all stands/vendors take cards; some only accept cash.

We were helped by the owners son who was so sweet. I met the Father who chatted with us. They know my BFF on sight so I had all the introductions. Had a lovely visit. Stop by if you are in the area.

We've always seen their cute bike signs on our adventures down to Virginia so on a recent trip to…read moreGettysburg we decided to stop by. So glad we did! We were greeted warmly by a young man and his siblings. He showed us around the produce stall that had various local items from peaches to corn and everything in between. Behind the stall were shelves of beautiful homemade pottery. He invited us to take a look inside their gallery as there were more items for sale in there, jams, tea, coffee and more pottery. The gallery was air conditioned so it was a nice break from the heat. We ended up purchasing corn, peaches, some jam and fair trade organic coffee. Everything we got was ripe and delicious. Can't wait to stop by again hopefully this fall to see what seasonal items they will have then!

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

Stopped by the market after a coworker mentioned they had opened a new fried chicken restaurant…read moreinside. I decided to give it a try, and overall, I was impressed. The fried chicken was the highlight of the meal. It had a golden-brown, crispy coating and was cooked perfectly--juicy, tender, and not dried out at all. The portions were generous, with some of the largest pieces of fried chicken I've seen from a hot food counter. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, making for a great side dish. The cornbread muffin was moist, soft, and paired well with the meal. The only downside was the potato wedges. They were seasoned well, but a few pieces tasted a little overcooked or burnt, which took away from an otherwise solid meal. Overall, this was a very good first experience. Between the large portions, fresh food, and flavorful chicken, it's definitely worth stopping in if you're looking for a quick comfort-food meal. I'd happily go back and try it again.

We will definitely be coming here again! Most of the items *we think* are locally-grown, but cannot absolutely verify this. Considering the pandemic and the physical distancing we all have to abide by, everyone was doing a really nice job, both sellers and customers. Definitely worth 5 stars!!

If there's one thing I've learned about myself, it's that I am apparently incapable of resisting a…read morefruit festival. And if it's at Hollabaugh Bros., there's NO WAY I'm not going! I had already visited Hollabaugh Bros. during last summer's Blueberry Festival and had such a great experience that when I realized my Sunday adventure schedule would put me only about 20 minutes away from their 11th Annual Strawberry Festival, there was absolutely no question about whether I was going. Add in the fact that I had just finished a 4.5-mile hike and was STARVING? This became an immediate priority. I arrived around 12:15pm and was immediately impressed by how smoothly everything was running. One of several parking attendants guided me to a super-close parking spot, and within minutes I was heading toward the festivities. Kudos to Hollabaugh Bros. for absolutely nailing the logistics. No confusion. No backed-up traffic. No chaos. Just friendly people efficiently moving visitors through the process so everyone could get to the important business of strawberries. The festival itself was packed with exactly the kind of charm you'd hope for from a family farm celebration. The event featured live music, local artisan vendors, wagon rides, food trucks, strawberry desserts, and enough strawberry-themed treats to make any berry lover ridiculously happy. One of my favorite parts was discovering that they had once again set up the indoor tasting room. Last year this was one of my favorite parts of the Blueberry Festival, and the strawberry version was just as much fun. Staff members encouraged visitors to sample everything from strawberry salsa and syrups to dips and warm strawberry crisp. They were also offering samples of several sausage varieties sold in the market. I tried one, immediately fell in love with it, and ended up bringing a package home with me before leaving. The market itself was filled with strawberry-themed goodies alongside Hollabaugh's regular offerings, but I had one mission. Last year, I missed out on the famous Blueberry Sugar Cakes and spent an embarrassingly long amount of time thinking about that mistake afterward. So this year I was determined not to repeat history. When I spotted Strawberry Sugar Cakes, I practically lit up. The only problem? They were sold in packs of six, and while I enjoy sugar as much as the next person, even I have limits. I asked one of the employees if it might be possible to buy just one. Instead, she kindly repackaged three for me and sold me a smaller portion. My blood sugar, my waistline, and my future self all deeply appreciated the compromise! Outside, I made my way to the strawberry dessert tent where they were serving strawberry sundaes, strawberry crisp, and strawberry milkshakes. Since I'd been craving a milkshake all morning, that decision was easy. Armed with my strawberry milkshake and my precious strawberry sugar cakes, I found a sunny bench near the live musician and settled in. And honestly? That was probably my favorite part of the entire day. The weather was beautiful. The acoustic music was playing softly nearby. Families wandered through the festival. Kids ran around enjoying the activities. People chatted, laughed, sampled treats, and enjoyed a perfect late-spring afternoon. Meanwhile, I sat there happily bopping along to the music, eating strawberry sugar cake, sipping one of the best strawberry milkshakes I've had in a long time, and appreciating the fact that sometimes the best adventures are the simple ones. At this point, festivals at Hollabaugh Bros. are becoming two things for me: a chance to grab specific treats I know I'm going to love, and an opportunity to spend a few hours soaking up one of the most relaxed, welcoming, and enjoyable atmospheres around. Reasonable prices. Fantastic staff. Plenty of parking. Great food. Great events. Zero stress! I absolutely love this place and can't wait for their next fruit festival adventure!
