The Green Dragon Farmers Market in Ephrata, Pennsylvania isn’t just a local secret—it’s a full-blown event every Friday. Open since 1932, this sprawling marketplace has become a national legend in the world of weekly markets. In fact, it proudly claims to be one of the largest and oldest Amish markets in the country, and when you see it, you’ll get why. With over 100 acres of vendors, barns, and parking (you’ll still circle five times before finding a spot), the Green Dragon is a glorious mashup of Amish donuts, antique hunting, live auctions, pony rides, puppies, soft pretzels, fresh produce, weird crafts, and deep-fried everything. And that’s just before noon. Set in scenic Lancaster County, it’s the kind of place where you can buy a hand-carved rocking chair, a 30-lb smoked ham, a sword, and a bucket of pickles—and somehow, it all makes sense.

People don’t just love the Green Dragon, they plan pilgrimages to it. You’ll see license plates from four states away, because once someone mentions “Amish-made furniture and fried whoopie pies,” the road trip begins. Locals come for their weekly produce and gossip. Tourists come for the photos, the novelty, and the chance to see a guy sell knives next to a woman hand-dipping candles while a Mennonite teen scoops ice cream in the background. It’s open only on Fridays, because apparently running one of the most iconic farmers markets in America only takes one day a week when you're Amish-efficient. Whether you're there for the funnel cake or the full experience, Green Dragon is one of Pennsylvania’s quirkiest, tastiest, most memorable destinations—and once you’ve been, you’ll be scheduling your next Friday off.

The Green Dragon Farmers Market & Auction is pure Lancaster County tradition—loud, lively, and loved like family. It’s located just outside Ephrata at 955 N State St, Ephrata, PA 17522, and it's been part of the landscape since 1932. Every Friday, rain or shine, the grounds come alive with hundreds of vendors, auctioneers, and locals who’ve made Green Dragon a ritual for generations. It’s the kind of place where you can lose a whole morning wandering from one stall to the next, grabbing a pretzel in one hand and a bag of fresh produce in the other.

The market is open every Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM, and it feels like stepping into another world—a mix of farmers selling handpicked vegetables, Amish families offering homemade baked goods, small businesses hawking leather belts, antiques, tools, handmade furniture, you name it. There’s a livestock auction, fresh flowers, kettle corn popping in big copper kettles, and rows of sausage and deli counters that’ll make you rethink your grocery list. Green Dragon isn’t flashy, and it doesn’t try to be. It’s stubborn in the best way, loyal to the old rhythms of buying, selling, and catching up with neighbors. For a lot of people in Lancaster and beyond, Fridays aren’t complete without a trip to Green Dragon—and it’s been that way for close to a century.

Another “spotted in the wild” post! It warms my heart when I get messages from friends that they spotted my items at a retailer’s location. 💕 This one was Chesterfield Naturals. Located at Green Dragon!

Happy Saturday friends!! Sharing the most recent batch of Dark Rose with you now that it’s had a few days to cure. I love how deep the purple is using grape seed powder. The added bonus is it’s rich in antioxidants helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent acne all while improving the skins moisture and softness.
