Sorry for any inconvenience friends-We wanted to let everyone know that we’ll be closed today as our home is still without power and water and we are cleaning up debris.
We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and support during this time. We plan on reopening Friday. Thank you! ❤️

Thank you everyone for the support today! It was great to see so many venture out in this heat wave.
We will be monitoring the indoor temps at our stand, and will be closing when it reaches 95 degrees for the health and safety of ourselves and our customers-so we may not be open until 11 am depending on the indoor temperature. We encourage you to shop early so we don’t miss you. We are sorry for any inconvenience!

Running a small business while raising a family sometimes means our schedule looks a little different… We will open at 9 am on Tuesday, March 17 & Friday, March 20. Thank you for your understanding and supporting our small family business!

Lancaster friends-Market will be closed tomorrow!
You can still place orders to be picked up when we reopen Friday 1/30.

Stay safe and warm!

The Central Market will be CLOSED tomorrow on Tuesday, January 27th.
 
At the time of this announcement there is still an active snow emergency in the city of Lancaster, and much of the area around Lancaster is still treacherous for our vendor’s large trucks and other traffic. Our standholders rely on the day before Market to bake, cook, prep, and transport cartloads of goods, and many of our businesses were simply unable to safely do so today. With all of this in mind, we have decided to close Market tomorrow. We have not closed Market in a long time, but feel it is in the interest of safety for our guests and vendors.
 
We’d like to thank the City for their prompt removal of the snow around Market, which is no easy task with our narrow alleyways.
 
Please be safe out there, and we will see you all at Market again on Friday, 1/30.

When sickness runs through the house, plans change quickly. As a very small business this means we’re unable to open today, so we can recover and prevent spreading the flu further.

I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, and continued support of our small, family-run business. It truly means more than you know. Stay healthy friends🤧🫶🏻
