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!!

He's always caring to my needs and special orders. 4th of July I ordered a brisket to smoke. It was a hit! Best brisket I have ever smoked. Every year for Christmas, my prime rib is top notch, and last thanksgiving I did rotisserie turkey legs and honestly, I have never had better turkey meat in my life. The butter sold in store is unmatched. The Canadian bacon is so good too. The girls working the counter are always super friendly and helpful. I also love their produce. Best watermelon around! I buy a couple every week. I split it with my chickens. My favorite thing about this place is that you can see the cows across the street, living their lives enjoying the pasture. I'm telling you, bring home a few filets. You will not be disappointed. Oh! And the skirt steaks are amazing on the grill. 10/10 all day. I usually buy 5 ribeyes and 5 filets a week. My husband and I really only eat red meat and we never get tired of the steaks. They carry a tallow face cream too, and I've been using it for about a month and have gotten so many compliments that I look rested! Someone even said I looked "radiant" Please support your local farms! Our families depend on these small businesses. It is so hard to trust the local grocery store. Meats shouldn't have fillers or dyes and Bill Gates shouldn't be pumping cancer into your produce. Shop local, you will not be disappointed!

The gentleman this person bashed is nothing more than someone that is very knowledgeable about his products and enjoys sharing that knowledge, especially with children. He is the furthest from being a pedophile, and does not deserve to have someone print such horrible information. Karen T. from Mechanicsburg should be ashamed of spreading such horrible rumors and lies. Those of us affiliated with this business are appalled by such actions.

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.
