Lancaster PA is a great place to live; most people you talk to that live here would agree. With beautiful farmland, quaint towns, friendly people, and a vibrant art community in Lancaster City, there is something for everyone it seems. Now CNN has given our own Central Market the honor of being ranked on its list of the world’s best fresh markets. They chose markets from all over the world including Japan and Spain; Lancaster City’s Central Market was ranked number 8! Here is what they had to say:
“The United States' oldest, continuously operated farmer's market stands in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The historic market has been in operation since the 1730s, and was granted permanent status by King George II in 1742. It remains popular today, and tourists flock here to purchase hand-crafted products and foods made by the local Amish community.
While the Pennsylvania Dutch wares might be the biggest draw for out-of-towners, locals appreciate the wide variety of imported goods sold alongside local produce, fresh flowers, just-caught seafood and hearty baked breads.”
Locals do love the fresh produce, organic selection, fresh bread, coffee, and smoothies. It is a really neat old building that has just undergone a major overhaul. The building is downtown and well worth the visit. Yet another reason living in Lancaster is a great choice!
