A New Amish Market Brings Tradition and Flavor to Easton, PAEaston, Pennsylvania, already known for its rich history and vibrant farmers’ market, has welcomed a new addition to its local scene: an Amish market that is quickly becoming a favorite destination for residents and tourists alike. Located just minutes from Centre Square, the new market offers visitors a chance to experience authentic Amish craftsmanship, fresh produce, and homemade goods in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.
The Arrival of the Amish Market
The Amish market in Easton opened its doors in early 2025, bringing a slice of Pennsylvania Dutch culture to the city. The market features vendors from Lancaster County and surrounding areas who specialize in handcrafted furniture, baked goods, and farm-fresh produce.
Jacob Stoltzfus, one of the vendors at the market, shared his excitement: “We wanted to bring our way of life closer to people who might not have had the chance to visit Lancaster. Easton felt like the perfect place—close-knit and welcoming.”
Located at 101 Marlboro Avenue, the market operates Thursday through Saturday, offering everything from soft pretzels and smoked meats to heirloom vegetables and handmade quilts.
What Visitors Can Expect
The Amish market is more than just a shopping destination—it’s an experience that immerses visitors in Amish traditions. Here are some highlights:
1. Fresh Produce & Baked Goods
The market offers a wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables grown on Amish farms. Seasonal favorites like strawberries, sweet corn, and pumpkins are available alongside baked goods such as shoofly pie, whoopie pies, and sourdough bread.
Fisher’s Pastries (
Contact: 410-820-9255) is a standout vendor offering cakes, cookies, doughnuts, and Maryland specialties like beaten biscuits and Smith Island cakes.
2. Handmade Furniture & Crafts
Visitors can browse beautifully handcrafted wooden furniture at Dutch Home ( Contact: 302-285-0862), known for its premium materials and detailed craftsmanship. Other vendors offer handwoven baskets, knitted baby blankets, and beaded jewelry that make for unique gifts or home décor items.

Tourists visiting Easton have also been impressed by the authenticity of the experience. Mark Carter from Philadelphia remarked: “I’ve been to Lancaster before, but this market feels more intimate—it’s like having a piece of Amish country right here in Easton.”
Challenges Faced by Vendors
While the market has been well-received overall, vendors have faced challenges adapting to Easton’s urban environment:
- Space Constraints: Limited space means some larger items like furniture require pre-orders or delivery options.
- Logistics: Transporting goods from rural farms to Easton requires careful planning to maintain freshness and quality.
Despite these hurdles, vendors remain optimistic about their future in Easton.
Seasonal Events & Upcoming Plans
The Amish market plans to host seasonal events such as pig roasts (April 3–5) and customer appreciation weekends (June 19–21). Visitors can look forward to holiday-themed markets featuring handmade ornaments and festive baked goods later this year.
Jacob Stoltzfus shared his hopes for expansion: “We’re working on adding workshops where people can learn quilting or baking techniques—it’s about sharing our traditions with others.”
