You can learn more about each specific area by clicking on the Real Estate Guides above.
Lancaster County is known as the “Garden Spot of America“. It has some of the most fertile soil in the US and therefore has a strong farming industry. Our County is famous for the quality and diversity of its vegetables, fruit, beans, mushrooms and even nuts that are grown by farmers who have lived in the region for many generations. You can find these items at special farmers' markets such as Lancaster's Central Market, and roadside stands that are located throughout the region. A few local crops include: corn, celery, tomatoes, squash, peaches, cherries, strawberries, soybeans and apples. Lancaster County hosts a number of apple festivals in October such as the Harvest Days at the Landis Valley Museum and the apple Dumpling Festival at the Ephrata Cloister.
Lancaster offers residents and visitors a wide range of things to do. Aside from the booming tourism industry draws like our Amish culture and small towns, our region is full of other attractions like fabulous art museums, five-star restaurants, wineries and breweries, terrific shopping, critically acclaimed theatre, family amusements, first-rate educational facilities and outdoor adventures.
