Standholders

Lancaster Central Market truly offers the best of Lancaster under one historic roof. We have a vast array of producers growing the freshest Lancaster County produce, offering the freshest meats and dairy products, right alongside delicious Lancaster recipes of baked goods and home-cooked meals you can bring home to your table as well as a few stands of unique gifts you can only find at Market. 

Green Circle Organics
Inspirational Blossoms Each week, John and Anna Beiler fill their stand with beautiful fresh and field cut flowers from their eastern Lancaster County farm. In addition to their varieties of seasonal stems, the Beiler’s also offer select house plants, herbs, vegetables, and succulents to be used as starter plants in home gardens. If you’re on the hunt for flowers, you can pick a single stem, a bunch, or a pre-made bouquet.
Soulcialize Make a trip to Central Market a "soulcial" experience when you try the flavors of Soulcialize. Create a platter with pork spare ribs, collard greens, and mac and cheese while also learning about how Chef Corey Woods is giving back to his community.
