I was less than thrilled with this farmers market. I visited for the sole reason of visiting the egg roll lady but her stand wasn't open. On the small side it had two buildings which you had to go outside thru a very nice paved courtyard to access . It was much smaller than I expected and much more expensive. I'm very familiar with Roots and Green Dragon and the prices here were higher than a regular grocery store. There were a few stands with ready to eat sweets, but very little that peeked my interest. It was pretty empty inside, many vendors were closed and only a handful of customers. I don't know how they stay in business honestly. I left empty handed and will not return.

I have never been to this market prior to last weekend, had three buildings, an antique building, and two market buildings. There is plenty of parking as well. Started off at the main food building stopped by egg roll lady and cream a cheesesteak egg roll for 1.75. It was pretty good and was small for an egg roll. Then, I ventured over to Dutch Country BBQ, which I have pictured below. I decided to try the 6 wings, two sides, and a roll combo. We opted for the sweet Thai chili wings, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes with gravy. The wings are baked, not deep fried, and the flavor was very good! I liked the mac and cheese my brother did not. He liked the mashed potatoes I did not. For $13, we say it was a good deal. Then, he stopped next door to the bakery and got cookies and a cheesecake treat. Lastly, I got a crab stuffed potato skin at Three Fins Seafood, took one bite, and threw it away! You can tell it was seating all day, and the crab didn't taste fresh. We walked over to the 2nd building and got delicious chocolate from chocolates by Tina Marie and super affordable produce from massers produce!

I only went to the thrift store part of this farmstead farm stand, but people were genuinely nice and helpful. I found the accompanying Phil collins record for $4, but everything else had the feel of a bit over priced 'antiques;' some nice furniture pieces if that's what you're looking for, but otherwise a lot of stuff that is just hoping to find a home.

This is one of those commercial farmer's markets. Deli and meat counter set up run by the Amish community. The veggies and fruit are all on the expensive side and I don't see much different going there to purchase or purchasing some local offerings at the local grocery store. Spread out with many little areas for local artisan products like some handmade soaps, honeys, jewelry, candy, etc. I guess worth a little visit if you are curious or like this type of place.

We go almost once a week. Produce is awesome and wide variety, great brown eggs. Sandi's Breads has all baking needs covered. Try a platter and baklava from the Kabob place, or anything from Cheesy Sams, the have breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and they have a different premade dinners that you can order and pickup

Very disappointed they have mask signs everywhere but most of the vendors weren't wearing them and waiting on Customers. I have to go somewhere else. We love going there but I won't go back if that's how they treat us.

I love going there ; they have a lot of Veggies and great meat and I love just about everything ! But you must be careful with the veggies to make sure they are too ripe or moldy / especially the tomatoes ! I love oysters and I had a great Fried Oyster sandwich. I found Necco wafers for my Mom ! And a great bottle of wine for me ! I really enjoy going there on a Saturday Morning . Ps be very careful a bout counting your change some venders do NOT give a receipt and ask what your bill is before you had over your money ! I hope to be there Saturday !

Central market in Lancaster is much bigger, but NO AC. this place is a lot smaller but has AC. :-) produce was ok. U see all the cardboard boxes of California potatos and Dole bananas in the loading dock. they do have good food vendors. Foldz for pretzels and Crazy crabs are both super yummy. there is an antique store next to it. Worth stopping by too.

I was very upset. I went to Messer's Produce a few weeks ago. The woman rang me up took my money but wouldn't give me a receipt. I thought she over charged me, but with no receipt I could not justify this claim. She scoffed at me. I asked for my money back. She refused saying that there were other people waiting and I had just paid her. Then she laughed at me. By Tuesday, all the produce I had gotten from her was moldy. I am very disappointed with the experience. Then I went to the Turkey stand. I purchased some Turkey slim jims. The young man gave me the wrong change. They do not use a cash register or take credit cards, so I had to ask for my money back and teach him how to make change. He had no clue. He looked about 12. No adult was in the stand. He tried to take over $2 extra. It was a bad experience all the way around. Everything is very expensive without them cheating me. I hope that they tighten up a little, or they will be losing me and my entire family as customers, and we shop there alot.
Discovered this farmer's market while at a wrestling tournament in Hershey. What a gem! Sandi's Breads-whole grain breads and pastries to die for. The Cheese Volcano went home with us along with a variety pack of six muffins. Then we found Crab Crazy-the proprietor made us meals and cooked them while we waited...super yummy!

Only open Fridays and Saturdays. But what a great break from the norm when traveling from PA to NJ and back. Crazy Crabs crab bisque and tuna melt were glorious! We will stop here everytime. Local honey, organic products and natural ingredients to purchase too! The pretzel place beats Aunt Annie's pretzels, BY FAR.

Small but lovely farmer's market. Fell in love with Sandi's Breads. Her Caliente Brownie was delicious with a slight heat aftertaste, and the Pepperoni bread stick was super tasty. Everything I sampled there from sweets to breads was to die for. The produce section was very well stocked and their prices were very good compared to other farmer's markets so I stocked up on veggies. Had coffee and strolled around the stand on the other building. Very nice. The variety and offerings are very good considering it is a small farmer's market. Will be back soon...as in next week soon.

Love this place, wish it were open a few more days a week. Have to try Sandi's breads....they have INCREDIBLE brownies, cookies and of course breads. There are also great butchers and produce. If you haven't been, make sure to check it out.

Really nice farmer's market. Just the right size. I am not sure of the name of the pretzel stand, but the hand rolled pretzels are awesome and the lemonade is homemade. My favorite reason to visit! The produce is also good, and they have a variety of stands.
