Lancaster Central Market - Farmers' market in Lancaster - 23 N Market St, USA

I visit the LCM every so often. They offer some good quality meats and other goods. I also love the coffee shop at the back end of the market where you can even get flavored syrup in your latte or coffee. Everyone at the market is so friendly and if you want to contribute a little bit more, there is a stand that you can buy LCM merchandise! My other favorite spot is the pretzel stand and the fresh bakery stand. They sell freshly basked English muffins which we got this time on our visit and they were so soft and delicious! I will say some of the stands can be pricey! I recently saw "homegrown tomatoes" $3.99 each... I am not doubting the quality but other stands that sell homegrown were going for 3.99 for an entire basket of tomatoes. One thing to note is that I have only been there on a weekend but it does get very busy there especially in the morning. I would recommend leaving behind strollers if you can so that you don't get stuck in the congestion. There is also parking nearby for those that do not want to park on the street. Also, don't forget to bring your own bags!!

Lancaster Central Market is an absolute gem. Open 3 days a week, there is a lot of bustle and business, but each stall is worth the wait. This huge market is leading the way in rolling out SNAP/EBT accessibility for the entire market. Being from a city with severe food deserts and lack of access to fresh produce, this kind of accessibility is amazing. No one should be unable to have fresh fruits and vegetables because of a lack of access. Central Market has been rolling this program out since November and is doing so well! I spoke with Bruce, Lancaster Central Market Volunteer, about this program and how they've made it easy to do for the merchants and the consumers. In a short span, so many booths now accept food stamps. As a disabled person who relies on food stamps to help offset the ridiculous inflation of groceries, I appreciate this! Shouting out to The Herb Store and Lancaster Coffee Co for being awesome and having amazing customer service.

Lancaster C.M. is a place every visitor to the area should take in. There are great food vendors from African Diaspora Food to Swedish to local eats, and Hispanic food as well. A great cafe, a juice bar-please just come and see and taste for yourself. And with that there are many produce, meat,, and dairy vendors from local farm, and baked goods too.

I thought this market would be all Amish fare, but the diversity of the offerings surprised me. My husband and I ate a little bite at many vendors — Apple fritters, dolma, pretzels, apple cider, pickles, empanadas…this place has a little bit of everything. There is a little 2nd floor platform with tables for eating that has a nice view of the whole market. Would definitely recommend checking this out. Open Tues, Fri, and Sat.

We loved kicking off our Christmas shopping while visiting Lancaster PA. Lots of options and fresh meat and produce as well as teas, jams and pastries and so much more. Very clean, great restrooms.

It was a busy Saturday morning and there was A LOT to see. Great floral vendors, fresh food and yummy coffee. We lined up for soft pretzels (frankly because we saw the line). They wer soooo delicious. Unfortunately l didn't take a picture of the pretzels place but I'm not sure there was more thsn one. Highly recommend this stop. The visitor’s center was close by (which was very helpful).

Such a variety of fresh foods. Prices weren't expensive. Seems it can get very crowded with little to no room at times. All the vendors were friendly! It was a unique experience.

THE nicest, best organized indoor farmers market that I have ever seen. Highest quality food items at good prices and very few trinket merchandisers. Great place with a great vibe.
