    My husband and I went here for the first time recently, as we usually visit Roots. I am disappointed that we never came here sooner! There are so many stands and buildings--literally something for everyone. The amount of produce, snacks, candy,, cheeses and meats, baked goods, fresh food... yum! All at great prices! I didn't catch the name of the stand, but the ice cream was fresh and their waffle cones were the best we've EVER had. The Corner Cafe had great specials going on and their portions were good for the price. Other stands and buildings had loads of vintage items, antiques, toys, video games, clothing, housewares. Truly hard to walk out of here empty handed. I only wish that the entire place was paved. We had a stroller and it was difficult to go over the gravel. Keep this in mind!

    Green Dragon has to be the best market around. There are so many vendors, if you can't find what you are looking for you've definitely got an issue. You can find everything from clothing to home goods, from furniture to outdoor decor, fresh fruits, meats, produce and baked goods. There are so many food vendors that if you leave hungry it's your own fault. Green Dragon is only open on Friday's. The best time to visit is spring to fall when the outside vendors are also there. This is a must see if you are in the area you won't be disappointed. Parking can be a little bit of a bear when all the vendors are there.

    Huge indoor and outdoor farmers market/flea market open every Friday. Make sure you come hungry because there are so many food stands to try. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, ice cream, baked goods, and even a small animal sale.

    This place is kind of far from my place, but I come here just for Rosanne's Stuffed Pretzels, without a doubt they have the best Pretzels I ever tried. They have regular Pretzels, Pretzels dogs, and stuffed Pretzels, which is like a calzones or an empanada made with pretzel bread and inside they are different stuff like brisket, pepperoni, chicken cordon blue, a whole hamburger, steak, you name it. And the prices are awesome, each stuffed Pretzels goes from $5 to $6 dollars, a family of 4 can eat for less than $30 dlls and all of them would be full. You must try them. See my pictures for reference.

    Great place to people watch! Very diverse selection of fruit, vegetables, meats and stuff you don’t need. Multiple antique vendors, home furnishings and quality furniture. One of the must see places in Lancaster Co.

    A great way to spend a Friday morning. There's a little bit of everything, food, home decor items, huge varieties of specialty tea, local produce, handmade items and crafts, clothing. I'm glad we stopped by!

    I have been coming her for over 50 years and Hreen Dragon is The best Amish/Mennonite market I've ever visited. There is something for everyone. It has gotten commercialized over the years and expanded to include a lot of junk dealers. But it stills has the same nostalgic charm as I always remember.

    What a wonderful market!!! Has everything food, plants, toys, clothes, household items, you name it they got it. Can spend the whole day here, loved trying all the food stands, had donuts, fried vegetables, smoothed, pretzels, apple fritters, coffees, yum. Go hungry, and with bags or carts to hold all your buys.

    Great fresh produce, meats, food, antiques, and so much more. If you need it, they will probably have it.

    I was shocked how large this place was. Tons of venders and with multiple buildings. Outside tent venders as well. You can find anything here. My favorite items included pretzel wrap pizzas, apple fritters, and all the other assorted fresh baked goods.

    Great place for everything you may want or need and things you didn't know you wanted. Hundreds of vendors millions of items. Fresh food of all kinds. Good prices on most stuff. 2nd best flea market in America. Definitely worth stopping for.

    Even we live two hours away, I really want to visit the green dragon market every week! This is how wonderful this market is. You will have so much fun shopping around, from local produce, fruits, meats, furnitures to home made baked goods. You also can eat at restaurants too. I was so surprised to see so many cars in the parking lot in the winter time. This shows how popular this place is!

    I've lived most of my life (59) ten minutes from here, and it's worth the trip for the food. As for other merchandise, a number of the good sellers with antiques, collectibles, etc. are gone, but there's an ever-increasing number of imported junk stands. Sure not the place it was years ago, so go visit while it's decent.

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Green Dragon on a recent Friday evening, and it was an exceptional experience that turned a gloomy, cold rainy day into a vibrant adventure. Open exclusively on Fridays, this market is a hidden gem to those of us that are not local, offering a unique and diverse shopping experience. Despite the limited operating days, the Green Dragon boasts a vast array of goods, showcasing the Amish commitment to craftsmanship and quality. The furniture and antiques exude timeless charm, while the fresh fruits and vegetables reflect the bounty of the region. The market's exclusive Friday schedule adds an air of anticipation, turning each visit into a special occasion. Navigating through the market's many large indoor marketplaces (called Market Buildings) and outdoor stalls was a delightful journey, with each vendor contributing to the vibrant tapestry of sights, scents, and sounds. What struck me the most was the genuine friendliness and patience of the Amish vendors. Every interaction was marked by warm smiles, helpful advice, and a genuine willingness to share the stories behind their products. The commitment of the vendors to their craft was evident in every corner. From the savory meats to the tempting baked goods, the Green Dragon showcased a commitment to quality that made each purchase a memorable experience. Despite the weather, the outdoor vendors who were set up under awnings displayed their resiliency to the weather, adding to the charm of the market. If you're looking for a distinctive Friday outing filled with character and unique finds, the Green Dragon is a must-visit. The limited opening days only enhance the allure, making each trip a special opportunity to discover the best of Amish craftsmanship and local treasures, all while being surrounded by the warmth and friendliness of the Amish community whilst discovering some of the best of Amish craftsmanship, goods, and local treasures.

    Lots of variety in shopping for shoppers looking for unique finds in a fleamarket style establishment. In addition to this, there are also lots of wonderful places to eat. We ate at Rachael's Family Dining area, paid 18 dollars to feed the three of us dinner and the food was fantastic. And the staff was wonderful. Lots of variety in the platters and great Amish cooking. If shoppers are also searching for groceries, there are fruit, vegetables, baked goods, dairy, and meats.

    Try to get out here at least once a month for the stuffed pretzels alone. My family and I love to just walk arounda nd see the different stands and try different amish food that we have not had before. It is a great atmosphere and, for how big it is, is extremely clean. Love it here and will continue to visit.

    I love The Green Dragon. I have been coming here since I was a kid and usually make the trip a few times a year from Baltimore. This place is a mix of so many things. -farmers market produce -baked goods - small business sellers -second hand/flea market/antique sellers -auctions -food vendors -handmade crafts/goods -meat and cheese vendors (from small farms, ect) -jams, pickles, and preserves - and more things I'm probably forgetting I have fun just wandering around and checking things out. There is always something interesting. There are several buildings to investigate as well as outdoor vendors. I might get books on one trip, furniture another. There are so many small businesses in one place. The parking lot is gravel, so plan accordingly. The buildings are decently wide and mostly on one floor so they can be navigated with mobility devices. Just be warned they are usually crowded.

    Great place! I was skeptical due to some of the negative reviews but was happily surprised when I finally made it last week. Great produce, breads, meats, cheese, baked goods. If you're a foodie, this place is great! It also has lots of flea market type stuff, much of it is on the cheap junk side. There's just lots of things to look at and shop for. Prices are hit or miss depending on what you get. Some great bargains also mixed in. The bathroom was dated but clean and had an attendant. It appears the market isn't what it once was but is still great. A gem and worth a visit for sure. I'll definitely be returning!
