I love Zooks for their delicious chicken pies, so I had to stop by this little roadside stand…read more This small store sells Amish doll clothes, baked goods, jams and jellies, and hot and cold beverages. The hubs and I stopped by to get some treats to go: small balls of granola and M&Ms, peanut butter cookies, a cherry fry pie, and their housemade Mint Tea. The treats were super competitively-priced, and there was even a shelf of reduced-priced baked goods! We both weren't fans of the housemade Mint Tea, as it was just too spearmint-y and tasted like 'gum.' Outside, there were some house and lawn decor for sale Cute little place to get some refreshments when you're in the PA Dutch area! There is a small lot for your car and the ma'am in there was super friendly! +baked goods +reduced-priced baked goods available +hot and cold beverages offered

They had gallon sized raw milk which was nice. It saved me a trip going elsewhere to get it. I also got some homemade yogurt. I assumed it was unsweetened but I should have asked. It was too sweet for my taste. It was like cake icing sweet. They had containers of soup that looked really hearty.

I especially loved their freshly made peanut butter, which comes in several flavors like honey, cinnamon, and chocolate, all at very reasonable prices. The bakery section was excellent as well, and they offered a wide variety of specialty teas that would make great gifts. I also appreciated that they sell chicken hearts and other less common cuts of meat at affordable prices! The market was clean and lively on the weekend. The cashier was friendly and nice. I tried their chicken pie and beef pie, but they were a little too salty for my taste. Overall, I would happily come back for the fresh peanut butter and meat!

This spot is only open on Fridays but I was able to make it up from Washington, DC, after having a long weekend with a holiday. My family was totally into this spot. We easily could have spent all day here. Parking can get very busy. We ended up pulling into the grassy lot and walked about 10 minutes to the main market. You'll find everything from toys to crafts to antiques to junk and everything in between. The food is also fantastic. Come hungry. A hit for us was the pulled pork sandwich topped with cooper's sharp at the stand in the middle of the market by the actual auction. My kids never saw an auction and were transfixed. The atmosphere is lively and you'll see just about every type of person imaginable from locals to visitors from cities and other states!

I knew the Green Dragon is supposedly one of the largest flea markets on the east coast, but I was still blown away by the size of the place. There's a whole field of merchants in tents, along with... sheesh, I lost count... at least 5 other buildings. One of which is animal livestock auctions!! I want a goat so bad!! There are a bunch of food vendors, too. Our group decided on burgers. They were a hit. I left with a pound of "pan pudding" (also known as pork pudding, liver pudding) for a friend who loves it but cant find it in Baltimore. It's like scrapple, but has a different starch binding component. I've looked it up several times, trying to understand the difference and still don't really know. I love scrapple, pan pudding is okay. I also bought a dozen duck eggs. Tell me you don't love a good egg yolk... these are bigger. Jeremy says they have a slight gamey flavor but I didn't pick that up. I don't know that I'd buy them again, but they are really tasty. Lastly, I bought two pool noodle swords... for my wedding. We had jousting and swordfighting, on blow up horses and dragons... it was so much fun. Finding those swords was... well I didn't know such things existed, yet there they were, right in my path, waiting for me. Our friends left with a beautiful vintage croquet set. They paid $40 for it, only to get it home and find out its worth well over $400!! SCORE. We had a really great time. I'd definitely go back.

This is a substantial stand at Lancaster's Central Market along the outside wall. It's a stop I…read morealways make, even if just to ogle at the offerings. They always have a nice variety of freshly inventive prepared foods - veg salads, quiche, hummus, desserts, Be warned, They do sell out pretty quickly. It's a bit pricey but I've enjoyed everything I've tried! Keep an eye on their FB page for the weekly recipes.

**Central Market Stand Review…read more Ok, the food here at The Goodie Shoppe is definitely my most frequented vendor at Central Market. The food is sooo delicious and the brownies are insanely moist and rich and scrumptious. I am a big fan of the Indian patties and red bean wasabi salad. Most all of the salad choices here look yummy and I love to bring home 3 or 4 small containers of goodies from the Goodie Shoppe and eat for lunch or to snack on for a couple of days. . . but they never seem to last too long though (as everyone in my house wants a bite) I only do this once a week because although the prices are not excessive, they are not super cheap either ; ) Today they had a spinach and feta pasta salad that looked good, I was tempted to get a cup, as well as a spinach and cheese wraps, wrapped in Phyllo dough (or is it spelled Fillo?) I really love the dishes they make with avocado or cous cous ... really good : ) Ok nothing but GREAT reviews of this place... well there is just one thing .. The only thing that prevented me from giving the fifth star is this little thing, but it's a little thing that bugs me enough to deny a star, sooo here you have it. They are really anal about giving out parking validation ( Parking in the garage is $2/hour, if you buy something at Market the vendors give you a $1 validation ). The GS is the ONLY vendor in Market that I have ever been to that seriously makes you buy $10 before giving you a validation ... If I buy $7, $8, $9 Nope I have to go SOMEWHERE ELSE and buy something for $3-1 (to equal the $10 minimum) and get a validation from THAT vendor. ALL the other venders that I have shopped at give me validation for ANY AMOUNT that I spend ... Like TODAY, I got a validation for the $1 I spent on oranges at Meck's produce... Basically my point is this, we shop here regularly and pay a fair price for the food, which is AT LEAST as high as the other similar food vendors... for them to be the ONLY vendor to be as stingy with something as simple as a $1 parking validation, especially in light of the other vendors practices ... well they look ridiculous. So do what I do ... DO COME here and try their food . .Buy their food ... I think it's the tastiest in the Central Market ... BUT come here LAST and get your parking validation from THEM ; -P ..... WHAT ?! ..... I'm just say'in ....

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.

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.
