As the rooster crows to announce the start of a
new day, the Green Dragon Market comes alive every Friday morning in the
little country town of Ephrata, Pennsylvania in Lancaster County. The
Green Dragon Market features over 400 local growers, merchants and craftsmen so
it is no surprise that thousands of area shoppers have visited this local
attraction weekly since 1932 to do their shopping. Located on a thirty acre
site in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, the market is now one of
the largest Farmers Markets in the area, and offers visitors the choice of
shopping indoors or outdoors. With 7 large market buildings and many other
small shops, the Green Dragon merchants offer everything from “soup to nuts”.
There is a local saying, “if you can’t buy it at the Green Dragon, it chust
ain’t for sale”. There will be no rest stops made both en route to the Green
Dragon Market, or on the return trip home.
