Discover the richness of Lancaster’s food scene

Surrounded by the rolling farmlands of the county, Lancaster is nationally-recognized as the home of the freshest, high-quality produce, dairy, and meats, which stock market stands and local restaurant kitchens.

Anchored by Lancaster Central Market—the country’s oldest publicly owned continuously running farmer’s market—Lancaster has built a legacy of fresh food and community.

With destinations like Lemon Street Market and other locally-owned markets tucked in city neighborhoods, Lancaster makes it easy to enjoy food ripe from local farms, try authentic cuisine from other communities around the globe, and find options for every kind of diet—including a wide variety of vegan, plant-based, vegetarian, and allergen-friendly options while you shop, grab takeout, or dine out.

Eating around town is extra special here in Lancaster, as many restaurants rotate seasonal menus and source ingredients right from these city markets, international specialty stores, and farms around the county.

This summer, we invite you to stock up on fresh produce on market days (Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturdays!), visit local food stores, and try a few of these restaurants in the city as you discover fresh flavors all season long.
