Also, their prices on deli meats and cheeses cannot be beaten. I've tried.

I drive up here from York, if that tells you anything about the value. Beware, they don't take cards. You'll need cash or to use the onsite ATM.

Renninger's Farmer's Market is in rough shape. Parking lot isn't in terrible shape, but I wouldn't…read morespeed around it. Entrances are where the numbered doors are located. I've been here on both Saturdays and Sundays, and it appears that Sunday is the better day and you need to arrive early per every place like this. Hours of operation here are pretty narrow for a place like this. The visit I just made here on a Saturday was a borderline disaster. The vast majority of booths were not open on a Saturday, being one of the major problems. What was open was for the most part not worth the drive. Many booths here are in major need of cleanup, with many simply having piles of trash in space that could be used to better organize merchandise. There were a few interesting booths that had trading cards and Pop Vinyls being among the better options here. One or two booths had produce, with others being setup for that empty. It appears almost all of the deli/meat booths were gone. Only one or two booths were serving prepared food, but there is a restaurant on site and a small food trailer outside. There is an enclosed portion with no heating/cooling outside of the main building, that mostly had vacant tables and booths, and one dealer that appeared to mostly have random items. I truly don't know what to do with Renninger's Farmer's Market, but it's in need of pretty drastic changes, and I don't know in its current condition if it will be here in a few years. My friend and I actually felt bad for the vendors as it appeared very few were making sales. Overall, skip this and go to Hometown or Green Dragon. Yes, the drive will be longer, but there are much better options at them.

I enjoyed listening and watching stuff come up for bid but found it confusing to know what was being auctioned. Apparently you have to register to get a number to bid. That is your number forever and ever amen. There is a lot to look at in the area where the auction is. The rest of the market was pretty large with outside vendors and several buildings. Some of the vendors were downright miserable in my opinion. There is a lot to see- a lot of vintage stuff some may consider junk. Very dirty-very dusty and very cheap in my opinion. Some areas were heaped with crap- so much so it was hard to make your way through some of the vendor areas. I noticed a lot of booths were unmanned. I'm not sure how you expect customers to purchase items when no one is available and the booths are abandoned. Plus a lot isn't even priced- I HATE that. They do have food available. I'm not sure I would eat there- but others seemed to enjoy it. I would go back but it's not a place I would go to often. The drive to get there is gorgeous for me.

Weis had a day old bakery rack for a long time. Typically 50% off the normal price.... then the…read moreprices jumped. I still bought items from the rack. Then the store decided to scatter the items across the store instead of keeping them in one place. When I asked a clerk about it, I was told that it was a new store policy along with the comment that the items were no longer available earlier in the morning, but now the store would put items out later in the day around 2 pm to get more money from their customers. It seems that I will be shopping more at Gaint!!!

Zach (reliably friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful), immediately looked into their supply/warehouse/magical options, and had 1 of them sent to the store with their next shipment in less than a week. When I showed up again, he remembered me and the product I'd requested, and produced it from behind the counter. They have a bulk section (pre-packaged), which is always good for grains, beans, and snacks. They have all sorts of organic baby products, every Burt's Bees product ever made, frozen foods, fridged foods, produce, any type of Yogi tea you want, gluten-free options, household cleansers, pet food...

What a different world and pace of life. This will be my weekly shopping spot for fresh produce and freshly baked bread! This was a definite "gain" when I moved to the area for sure! I was so excited to see a beautiful rock and crystal shop too. Of course I just had to buy a rainbow aura quartz sphere and a chunky cut quartz crystal too. Crystals are my new obsession! I also bought some amazing homemade Italian Bread from an Italian lady who bakes her own bread- it's incredible ! She kindly reminded me that there are no preservatives and to keep the bread refrigerated to maintain freshness- it won't be around for long. I tasted empanadas from a food stand I've been dying to try. Crispy and delicious! The meat inside was delicious and savory. I can't wait to hit that stand again next week.

Ok. Let me explain the 3 star rating. If you're a shopper…read moreyou will be pretty happy as it's always packed with vendors. Last time I was there was last summer so writing this a year later. Food selection is very good and reasonable prices. The drive to get there is beautiful, or you can use the interstate nearby. Most vendors have reasonable prices. Huge selection of options to buy stuff. Now, I tried setting up and selling as a vendor. THAT WAS A DISASTER! I actually LOST MONEY trying to sell stuff . I didn't make even $25 and I had an entire truck filled with all kinds of items. The area is extremely poor. The people who were there to shop were mostly broke. They want every thing for a dollar. Lots of " I'll be back" and "I'll think about it". That's code for "I'm broke" lol. So, if you're a shopper Theres lots to buy at good prices. If your a vendor hats not food then good luck making money. I think the only reason vendors go is because it's open on Wednesday and no other markets are so the vendors come. That entire area for miles and multiple towns are economically depressed. Definitely not economically viable. So if you have cash to downs you'll be very happy here.
