Q: Why are you only open 3 days a week?
A: The original Farmers Markets were what
the name implies:
Farmers selling their wares to the local
community and of course, farming was a
full-time occupation, which left little time
for retail. Most markets opened early and
closed early. Several farmers markets in
Lancaster County are still open only one
day a week.
Q: We thought the Amish weren’t permitted
to drive cars, so how do you get here,
“Horse and Buggy?”
A: No, we don’t drive our horses to
Middletown, Although, we don’t drive
ourselves as we are allowed to hire non-
Amish drivers to transport us since the
average horse can’t go more than 20 miles
in one day so, as you can see, by the time we
arrived, we’d have to turn around and head
for home!!!
Q: We were told the Amish don’t use
electricity, were we misinformed?
A: We are not permitted to have electric in
our homes, however, exceptions are made in
outside businesses.
