It was fun to see some of the products that Lancaster is known for! I had to get the special red soda, and a Whoopie pie. Both delicious! This spot has all the basics you could want. Ingredients, as well as a lot of premade options you could heat up or bake at home. It is on the pricier end being a meat market, but still fun to look around and get a few items!

Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market is a large indoor food hall rural area. There are many merchants…read moreincluding Amish who are among to attain entrepreneurial and financial gain to sustain a living. There are benches for resting in the foyer entrance. My party of three walked to browse the various merchants/ vendors and foods. My party of three visited this indoor food market where there were many options of pies, nuts, candy, pastries, baked goods, bread, pretzels, Amish quilts, but disappointedly I did not see any Amish wicker storage baskets. My desiderium was to purchase one large storage wicker basket with inner cloth lining, but to no avail as I am characteristically organized in both my living and workplace space environment. Or, purchase one large raffia storage box with lid. I also wanted the classic chocolate chip (no nuts) cookies, but to no avail. Surprising Bird-in-Hand Farmers Market is open and operational on July 4th, 2026 holiday. Customer service is mediocre. There is a large souvenir gift shop in the lower level via schlepping one flight of stairs. It is not ADA accessible. There is no stair climber available either. Ergo, for the mobility challenged take caution and there is very low headroom in the stairwell. My party of three has always patronized to support local souvenir gift shops as tourists - past and present. Personally, I believe in patronizing brick and mortar local souvenir gift shops drives the local economic tourism. We are non-Pennsylvanians. The souvenir T-shirts are hugely extortionate priced at $19.99. This gift shop reminisce nostalgia of Hallmark stores for mugs, decorative pens, bookmarks, post cards, magnets, pins, printed recipe books, small journals, wall calendar year 2027, et al. The costume jewelry was also hugely extortionate priced $19.99. I freely walked the aisles to browse and circled back. There many home decor items of rural country flair. I purchased one post card of Amish horse buggy with a farm field $0.50, one Pennsylvania shape magnet $1.99, and one lighthouse shape coaster $2.99. I have a small collection of post cards from travels. I actually needed a coaster for my workplace desk as I am currently using a makeshift coaster of my own arts and craft creation. I love lighthouses for the long history, significance, contribution to navy and maritime industry, including aesthetic of nature scenic local landscape emitting a sense of peace. I did receive a sales receipt printed from a very dated cash register.

I stopped by Columbia Market House for a snack and some air conditioning on Saturday when I was…read moreexploring Columbia for a few hours. The market has a long history in Columbia (the market house was constructed in 1869 but a market stood on the site prior to that, too), but it has been recently renovated. The building was beautiful, but it did feel that it's still early in the process to revitalize the market. Many stands didn't appear open or taken, but there were a few vendors open when I walked through. I stopped by a stand (operated by very friendly Amish staff) and got a hot soft pretzel, which was a great snack. The market house has clean bathrooms and plenty of seating. And the air conditioning just about saved my life. Not a bad place to stop by for a snack, but I wouldn't say it's a must stop during your time in Columbia.

If you want to experience the true heart and soul of York's food culture, Friday is the only day…read morethat matters, and New Eastern Market on Memory Lane is exactly where you need to be. A Slice of York History This isn't just a place to shop; it's a living piece of local history. While the original market company dates all the way back to the 1880s on East Market Street, the "New" Eastern Market opened its current doors on Memory Lane in 1955 after a fire destroyed their previous temporary home at the White Rose Arena. Walking down the aisles, you can feel that multi-generational legacy--many of the shareholders and vendors running the stands today are direct descendants of the families who started it all back in '55. Incredible Vendor Variety The selection here is unmatched. It's an incredible mix of local mainstays, from the incredible smoked meats at S. Clyde Weaver and Godfrey Bros. to fresh, vibrant hauls at Hoober Produce. You can pick up hand-rolled Aunt Lydia's soft pretzels, stock up on Fitzkee's candies, grab local spirits from Old Republic Distillery, or snag amazing baked goods to take home. Unbeatable Market Eats While it's a great place to stock the fridge, the ready-to-eat food stalls are the real star of the show. You absolutely cannot leave without hitting these spots: Jimmy C's (the diner): For the ultimate classic diner experience, pull up a stool at Jimmy C's. It's the perfect place to kick off your Friday morning or grab a hearty lunch. They serve up comforting breakfast staples and great coffee, but they are legendary for their weekly specials--especially the comforting PA Dutch classics. You absolutely have to try their famous baked chicken pie and their thick, comforting chicken pot pie with noodles. It is pure comfort food with that fast, friendly, quintessential market-counter energy. Markethouse Barbeque & Fried Chicken: If you are looking for top-tier to-go comfort food, you have to hit these stands. The Markethouse Fried Chicken is spectacular--shattering, crispy skin on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. Pair it with the smoky, tender, slow-cooked goodness from Markethouse Barbeque, and you have the absolute best takeout feast in town. Whether you're doing your weekly grocery shopping or just eating your way through the aisles, New Eastern Market is a Friday tradition that never misses.

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.

Tulip Days at Flinchbaugh's Orchard had been popping up all over my social media feed, and with…read more200,000 tulips in bloom, I knew I had to make it happen. My spring adventure schedule was packed, so I didn't make it out until the very last day--but I was determined to catch those blooms before they were gone! I purchased my ticket ahead of time through their website, which was quick, easy, and made me feel totally prepared for my first visit. My adventure buddy and I selected the 12:30pm time slot, and when we arrived right on time, there were a lot of cars--but everything was so well organized that parking was a breeze. It was clearly marked, easy to navigate, and because guests were arriving in staggered time slots, it never felt overwhelming. Before heading out to the fields, we popped into the farm market--and WOW! Super cute, surprisingly large, and packed with everything from baked goods to houseplants and gifts. Prices were reasonable, and it was definitely worth taking a few minutes to browse. Check-in for the tulip field was just as smooth. We walked up to the check-in hut, had our QR codes scanned, grabbed our wristbands, and were on our way within maybe two minutes. For 12:30pm on the final day of the event, I was honestly expecting a line--major kudos to Flinchbaugh's for keeping things moving so efficiently. And then... the tulip field. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Now, it was the last day, and you could tell in the front sections where tulip cutting had been allowed--some blooms were missing, some areas looked a little trampled, and things were definitely a bit worn. But here's where Flinchbaugh's really impressed me: they had clearly marked sections further back as "PHOTOS ONLY - NO CUTTING," and those areas were stunning. Full, vibrant, untouched rows of tulips that made for incredible photos and a much more immersive experience. We spent about an hour wandering through the fields, taking photos, and enjoying all the thoughtfully placed photo prop stations. Another huge win--those props were spaced out perfectly. No long lines, no crowding, no awkward waiting around. You could just move from one spot to the next and actually enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or packed in. I've visited a few flower fields over the past year, and this was by far the most organized and least chaotic. Everything--from parking to check-in to field flow--felt intentional and well thought out. I'm personally more of a "leave the flowers where they grow" kind of person, so I loved being able to simply walk, admire, and take it all in. For me, this was the perfect way to kick off my 2026 flower field adventures--and it set the bar high! At $10 for admission, this was an incredibly reasonable way to spend a few hours soaking up sunshine, enjoying beautiful blooms, and making a little springtime magic on a Saturday afternoon. I'll absolutely be back next year--just maybe a little earlier in the season to catch even more of those blooms at their peak!

I drove an hour…read moreand a half and when I arrived there I was told that tulip picking ended two hours prior, AND after we drove we decided to look around the market for some food because it was a long drive and we found one single cookie for a dollar fifty and we thought WOW! that it cheap, maybe this place isn't that bad after all. When we arrived to the register, they said it was priced wrong!, it was FIVE DOLLARS! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! THE COOKIE WAS MAD RAW! my girlfriend HAD A BITE of the cookie and she is feeling AWFUL this morning BECAUSE of the COOKIE! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
