Coming to visit Lancaster County for the weekend? Why not
arrive on Thursday so you will be able to get an early start on Friday
morning at Green Dragon in Ephrata.
What
is Green Dragon, you ask? Green Dragon is a large farmer's maket and
auction which is open only on Friday. Interested in auctions - not only
do they have antique auctions, but also dry goods including quilts, hay,
straw, and small animals.
You
will find fresh fruits and vegetables as well as baked goods, many from
local Mennonite and Amish farms. Also available are fresh meats
directly from the butcher, seafood, poultry, and cheeses.
Walk around the outside market to find socks, jeans, sweatshirts, tee shirts as well as purses and sheets. In the spring, you will find bedding plants and hanging baskets directly from the grower. In the fall, mums, straw bales, pumpkins, and corn stalks. No matter what you are looking for, you should be able to find it here.

Need
lunch or a snack? You can find sit down service at one of five
restaurants or you can always sample some of the local foods. You will
find hoagies, french fries, sausage sandwiches, steak sandwiches, fish
sandwiches, Mexican food, or barbequed chicken. For dessert, how about
fresh local baked goods, ice cream, funnel cake or soft pretzels.
Spend Thursday evening at one of our fine bed and breakfasts and
after you enjoy your breakfast, head over to Ephrata and check out
Green Dragon. It is open every Friday year round from 9:00 am to 9:00
pm. We hope it will be a memorable experience.
