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.

Root's Country Market & Auction, a Lancaster County shopping staple since 1926…read more A beautiful spring Tuesday to shop for just about anything at Root's. 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. Worth noting, not all stands/vendors take cards; some only accept cash.

Loved this charming market! They have great produce and baked goods as well as lots of pumpkins,…read moregourds, etc! All the employees were so nice and helpful. There are also some cute spots for Fall photo ops! The market is next to their orchard, where you can go at pick apples at this time of year! It was $25 for a good sized box and you also get free apple cider donuts at the end. They are so delicious! Even if you don't go apple picking, you can buy the apple cider donuts in the store. Definitely a must try! Overall, I would recommend this spot to shop and to go apple picking! It is a fun spot to spend a fall afternoon!

I started my day looking to have a great experience at the Cherry Hill Orchards Outlet,…read moreunfortunately a loud, rude, insensitive cashier/employee smashed that dream. I am a 61-year-old senior woman who have recently received my farmers market food vouchers. I found this farmers market on the list provided by FMNP-Farmers Market Nutrition Program through the Office of Aging in Lancaster, PA. After picking items to use with the food vouchers as well as food I would purchase, I arrive at the cash register. I go to the cashier closest to the exit and asked if they accepted the food vouchers. She was not sure what they were and called over her co-worker on the second register. The young lady comes over with a very loud tone says yes these are food vouchers. I ask what specifically they covered. She pulls out a list and says loudly they only cover fruits and vegetables from local farmers in PA not processed foods. A line begins to form and there are only two registers where both ladies are helping me. I say can you bring your voice down a little you are embarrassing me. She puts her hand to her chest and say I'm sorry this is how I talk it is not you don't have to be embarrassed. I go back and forth twice to add more fruit to bring the total close to the voucher amount-(Each at $5.00 a piece and I was using 4 of the 5.) I said I can come to your register so this cashier can help the other customers. The second cashier explaining everything continued to talk loud insisting that she will call another employee to assist while she trains the cashier on how to use the vouchers. By now there was a longer line of customers as it began to get crowded and most looking and listening to my exchange. I explained to the first cashier since she said she did not know what the vouchers were. FMNP is a program for seniors experiencing food insecurities living in the state of PA which assist both seniors and the farmers. I was so humiliated that this cashier used me as a training tool while I stated she was embarrassing me. This did not deter her one bit she continued talking loudly about the vouchers in front of a store full of other customers at my expense. When I got back to my car I just cried from the humiliation I was put through and the embarrassment from how this cashier was so insensitive, rude and disrespectful. The true training moment here is seniors are people too and the voucher is a program like any other form of payment which should be taught to all employees to avoid humiliating your senior population. All in all, every human being has a right to be treated with dignity and respect especially when they tell you how you may be making them feel in that moment. Many people are currently experiencing hard times in today's economy so be sensitive and patient and listen when others speak. I did call the store afterwards and spoke with a manager who apologized and stated she knew who the cashier was after I described her and would pull her aside to talk about my complaint. I would not ever go back to this market simply based on today's humiliating encounter with this one cashier. I originally moved to Lancaster, PA to retire mainly because of the farmers markets I have visited over the years and had great experiences. I always try to shop local because I know how important it is to grow smaller businesses.

Tulip Days at Flinchbaugh's Orchard had been popping up all over my social media feed, and with…read more200,000 tulips in bloom, I knew I had to make it happen. My spring adventure schedule was packed, so I didn't make it out until the very last day--but I was determined to catch those blooms before they were gone! I purchased my ticket ahead of time through their website, which was quick, easy, and made me feel totally prepared for my first visit. My adventure buddy and I selected the 12:30pm time slot, and when we arrived right on time, there were a lot of cars--but everything was so well organized that parking was a breeze. It was clearly marked, easy to navigate, and because guests were arriving in staggered time slots, it never felt overwhelming. Before heading out to the fields, we popped into the farm market--and WOW! Super cute, surprisingly large, and packed with everything from baked goods to houseplants and gifts. Prices were reasonable, and it was definitely worth taking a few minutes to browse. Check-in for the tulip field was just as smooth. We walked up to the check-in hut, had our QR codes scanned, grabbed our wristbands, and were on our way within maybe two minutes. For 12:30pm on the final day of the event, I was honestly expecting a line--major kudos to Flinchbaugh's for keeping things moving so efficiently. And then... the tulip field. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Now, it was the last day, and you could tell in the front sections where tulip cutting had been allowed--some blooms were missing, some areas looked a little trampled, and things were definitely a bit worn. But here's where Flinchbaugh's really impressed me: they had clearly marked sections further back as "PHOTOS ONLY - NO CUTTING," and those areas were stunning. Full, vibrant, untouched rows of tulips that made for incredible photos and a much more immersive experience. We spent about an hour wandering through the fields, taking photos, and enjoying all the thoughtfully placed photo prop stations. Another huge win--those props were spaced out perfectly. No long lines, no crowding, no awkward waiting around. You could just move from one spot to the next and actually enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or packed in. I've visited a few flower fields over the past year, and this was by far the most organized and least chaotic. Everything--from parking to check-in to field flow--felt intentional and well thought out. I'm personally more of a "leave the flowers where they grow" kind of person, so I loved being able to simply walk, admire, and take it all in. For me, this was the perfect way to kick off my 2026 flower field adventures--and it set the bar high! At $10 for admission, this was an incredibly reasonable way to spend a few hours soaking up sunshine, enjoying beautiful blooms, and making a little springtime magic on a Saturday afternoon. I'll absolutely be back next year--just maybe a little earlier in the season to catch even more of those blooms at their peak!
