Dutch Country Farmer's Market

I have been enjoying the goods of the Lancaster County Dutch Market for several years now, and I have to say that each pretzel I taste is just as good (if not better) than the last. Some friends and I have even made a weekly ritual of going to the market (the DM, as we affectionately refer to it) and bringing new people who have never sampled it's heavenly goodnesses before (our "Dutch Market virgins"). The Amish are very friendly and always have a smile ready when you approach them. And of course, I have yet to find anything (food, drink, flowers, etc.) in the market that is less than excellent. Everything is VERY reasonably priced, and it has become a haven for me and my poor college-student friends. I highly recommend that on your next trek up Great Seneca highway, you stop in for a pretzel and a milkshake--it is truly the lunch of the gods. more

This place is a local legend! I had never been hear but I see that every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, they are swarming with customers! Here's my recommendations: Try the soft pretzels. They are great--the raisin cinnamon is great, as well as the hot dogs and sausages wrapped in pretzel. The bakery is really good. The cinnamon buns are freshly baked. The cheese shop is great, too. Most people come for the freshly made barbeque and fried chicken, which are quite good. Enjoy! more
