Though farmer’s markets have started to make a comeback over the past 10 to 20 years, they are nearly as old as society. The first market was over 5,000 years ago in Egypt. Farmers who grew fresh produce along the Nile would bring their good to town to be sold. The American farmer’s market dates back to the Jamestown Settlement and modern farmer’s markets began in the 1800s in Philadelphia. Today, one of the most popular farmer’s markets lives out on the West Coast in Seattle, Washington; the Pike Place Market sells fruit, vegetables, flowers and of course—fresh fish. The Redmond Farmers Markets in Redmond, Washington and Redmond, Oregon are close contenders for fan favorites.
Though many of these markets in the United States have become very popular, markets in Japan are also contenders. A market in Tokyo has over 1,700 stalls and holds the title for the largest in the world.
Farmer’s markets generally sell good, brought into cities by local vendors. Visitors can purchase baked goods, meats, vegetables, fruits, flowers and homemade items like soap, jewelry and candles. The benefit these markets offer over traditional grocery stores is that the producers get to sell their goods directly to the public. These markets also engage a sense of community within a city. Farmer’s markets have become places for friends and strangers to meet as well as a place for the public to understand where their food comes from.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania is the home of the country’s oldest continually operating farmer’s market. Housed in a 120-year old brick building, the market has become a centerpiece of the town. Since it opened over 275 years ago, the Central Market has brought members of the community and visitors together for a cup of coffee, a pastry or just for a beautiful stroll amongst historic buildings. Since Lancaster was built to become a market town, it’s no wonder such a beautiful market still stands. The town speculates the most stalls in the market once topped 400.
The public market is now home to 63 small businesses. There’s even a waitlist for business owners who want to rent a stall. Local vendors include a hydroponics produce company, a tulip farm, over 10 local growers of produce, a horseradish manufacturer and a flower nursery. The market also sells plenty of fresh baked goods, fresh seafood, herbs, pretzels, fudge and tea. For guests who can’t wait to get home and try some of Lancaster’s freshest food, there are also several food vendors who sell cuisines like German, Thai and Middle Eastern foods. Five vendors also sell crafts and homemade items including hand-poured soy candles and quilts.
Since the market is a historical one, the friends of the market are continually making improvements on the space, the building and the booths. Almost 15,000 people come to the farmer’s market each week in Lancaster, and the market wants people to keep coming back, week after week.

Pennsylvania
The Keystone state -- key to America's independence. Check out the history and culture of Pennsylvania, where many German-speaking immigrants settled, with Christopher Hoh. #50states #PA
Transcript:
Hello, my name is Christopher Hoh. I work in the U.S. Embassy in Vienna, and I was born and brought up in the the Keystone State.
Pennsylvania was one of the original 13 colonies. It was called the Keystone State in the 18th century because of its central location and role in U.S. history. The first capital of the United States was in Philadelphia.
Before it was colonized, the area was home to Native American tribes, including the Lenape and the Susquehannok.
The name Pennsylvania means, Penn's Woods. In 1681, England's King Charles II gave the land to William Penn as payment for a debt of 16,000 pounds. This was one of the largest land grants to an individual in history.
William Penn was a member of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers, who were persecuted in England. So Penn established the colony for any people persecuted for their faith.
Many religious exiles from Europe settled in Pennsylvania, including the Amish, an Anabaptist sect. Today, the Amish live much as they did in the 17th century, without modern conveniences such as electricity and cars.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Germans migrated to Pennsylvania in large numbers. English‐speakers mispronounced the German word, Deutsch, as Dutch, and these immigrants became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.
In many Pennsylvania communities, German was spoken as the language of everyday life into the early 1900's. You can still hear German dialects in the farmers' markets of Lancaster and Reading, my home town.
The language is similar to Germany's Palatinate dialect. For example, the man's dog -- der Hund des Mannes -- is this in PA Dutch -- em Mann sei Hund.
Today, 12.7 million people live in Pennsylvania, the sixth most populous state in the U.S. It covers over 46,000 square miles (more than 119,000 km2 ).
Pennsylvania has several large cities. Philadelphia was known in the 1700's as the Athens of America because of its rich cultural life.
Part of that is attributed to Pennsylvania's most famous citizen, Benjamin Franklin -- author, inventor, philosopher, businessman, diplomat and revolutionary leader.
Philadelphia is also home to the Liberty Bell, the icon of American freedom. It remains on view, cracked, on Independence Mall, where the Continental Congress met and in 1776 declared independence from Britain.
Here are some other firsts from Pennsylvania:
The first medical school, hospital, library and insurance company were established in there.
The first commercially drilled oil well near Titusville produced the first U.S. oil boom in 1859.
The first U.S. Envoy to Austria in 1838 was Henry A.P. Muhlenberg, from Lancaster.
And the Philadelphia Zoo is the oldest zoo in America.
My hometown, Reading, is located in southeastern Pennsylvania. Formerly a textile and manufacturing center, Reading became known as The Factory Outlet Capital of the World.
The surrounding area has been called the Snack Food Capital of the World, leading all other states in the production of pretzels, chips and candy.
The state has some other interesting food facts.
The Yuengling Brewery, in Pottsville, is the oldest operating brewery in America, established in 1829.
A little further west is Hershey, the birthplace of Hershey chocolate bars. The town smells of chocolate and the street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses.
And don't forget Philly cheese steaks.
Pennsylvania gave birth to one US President -- James Buchanan in the 1800s.
Vice President Joe Biden was born in Scranton.
Many actors also come from Pennsylvania including Kevin Bacon, Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Sharon Stone, to name a few.
Pennsylvania has always had a creative music scene. Each religious sect that settled in Pennsylvania brought with it a unique style of music. The Moravians, in Bethlehem, introduced organs and trombones into their worship. The Mennonites and Lutherans sang heartily, from German hymnbooks. And the Ephrata Cloister was known for beautiful harmony.
Popular singers today include Taylor Swift, from Wyomissing, and Christina Aguilera and George Benson, from Pittsburgh.
Philadelphia is also the birthplace of the famous TV program, American Bandstand, which introduced singers and bands to teenagers for more than 20 years.
I travel the world but I still have a strong connection to my home state: I'm a career diplomat -- like Benjamin Franklin, our country's first envoy. I'm also a composer who benefited from my home state's musical milieu.
I'm proud to come from Pennsylvania, the land of the Liberty Bell, which helped inspire the cause of freedom for all humanity.
