Did you know?
 
Pennsylvania has one of the highest numbers of farmers markets in the U.S., thanks to its strong agricultural roots, rich farming traditions, and proximity to major cities. Markets like Lancaster Central Market—the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the country—have been thriving for many years!
 
And as these traditions continue, new markets are born, like Fresh Market at Hershey Towne Square, carrying forward the rich history of farmers markets in PA.
 
Supporting local farmers and creating vibrant community spaces—that’s what it’s all about!
