Located amidst the towers and buildings in
Penn Square, inside you'll find a historic atmosphere, consisting of over 80 friendly stand holders, selling their fresh wares.
It's known as "the oldest farmers market located in the heart of Amish Country." Inside the 109-year-old brick building is regional food specialties, such as, Pennsylvania Dutch sausage, scrapple (a breakfast meat of pork scraps and corn meal), and headcheese, which is an acquired taste.
But, there is also plenty of preserves, chowchow(pickled vegetables in a spicy mustard sauce). Not just a place for food items, you may also purchase souvenirs here.
