It's not difficult to become a compulsive shopper when visiting Dutch Treats, which holds a large…read morespace inside the year 'round Newtown Farmer's Market. Most of the stands are operated by the Amish, who travel back and forth to Lancaster, bringing you the freshest products from their farms and kitchens.
This is the sweet spot inside this market place, with oh so many homemade chocolates, fudge, hard to find old fashioned candies, rows and rows of bagged sweet treats, they also sell Asher's chocolates and right now the store is well stocked with a great selection of Easter candies.
This alone is enough excuse to get many in trouble, but add in rows and rows of homemade jams, apple or pear butters, fresh nuts galore, dried fruits and so many snack options. On top of all of this they have so many different pastas, some fresh and right out of an Amish kitchen in Lancaster. How can one not go crazy shopping with all of this temptation?
Oh wait, I'm not finished! You name it, they have it when it comes to spices, herbs, cereals, baking goods, they have a large organic selection and yes, some even gluten free! They make their own nut butters, right in the store, with peanuts, cashews or almonds and they have a great variety of honey straight from Lancaster.
I'm obviously a fan of this store, the homemade chocolates are divine, I love many of their products, so I do stock up when shopping here. Many free samples are scattered here and there, including those wonderful nut butters.
