  1. Throughout the Month and Year - Lancaster City Central Market - Our family loves to come here on Saturday mornings.  It is definitely one of the best things about Lancaster County!  Very affordable local produce, meats, and pastries.  It is the country's oldest farmers' market, located in a beautiful 120 year old red brick building chock-full of local character.   Open Tuesdays and Fridays, 6:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturdays, 6:00 am to 2:00 pm year-round. http://www.centralmarketlancaster.com
