Central Market: Oldest farmers’ market located in our backyard
In the city of Lancaster, there is an aged building hiding the oldest continually operating farmer’s market in the country, and a family of cultures who come together every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday to sell their crafts and fresh produce. This place is called Central Market. Housed in a structure with the name built right into the brick, this market has seen over three hundred years go by, as well as many merchants from Lancaster, the greater state of Pennsylvania, the United States, and the world.
“Al Natural” is not all truth
With an immense concern on health in today’s society, people are more willing to choose “all natural” foods over processed ones.

An appointment can be scheduled by calling 717-872-3250.
The truth about microwavable meals
Staying healthy is hard in today’s world. It seems that with every other billboard, commercial, or catchy jingle you hear someone is urging you to go ahead and buy that burger. To add to that, college students do not have a parent putting a healthy plate of food in front of them any longer. So, what to do? Well, there is always Subway down the street or a pizza place. But actually, many people are reaching for that quick dinner in a box, with only a 5-minute wait. That’s right, the microwavable meal.
