- Our first time to Green Dragon! As a long-time fan of Root's Market in Manheim, Lancaster County, I was very curious how this would compare. They are both amazing with lots and lots and lots of offerings. This is bigger in land size with more wiggle room. Can't wait to go back!
Thank to the @vafunseekers for meeting us there and hanging out a bit! Another video with them coming soon showcasing our donut fest:) Subscribe to them as they are amazing and produce a LOT of content.

Glad you made it there finally! Nothing exactly like these LanCo markets like this and Roots. You can purchase just about anything you can want. No LanCo visitor should miss these markets.
@@thecardsaysmoops3 amen! You said it perfectly well ☺️👍👌
Just wanted to say how much I love your channel. My family loves Lancaster and we go every year. But we’ve never been to this market. We are actually driving there right now as I type, and we are going to the Green Dragon for the first time ever today. We are from Long Island, NY.
Thank you again for being such a great source of all things Lancaster!!
@@catherineg6334 this is such a wonderful encouragement!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! ❤️❤️🥲🥲. Did you get some yummy food ?? Always a pleasure meeting a fellow Lancaster fan! Have a wonderful time with your family 🥰🥰
@@ElleLiving the market was great! And we had the best apple fritters and cheesecake that I think we’ve ever had.
@@catherineg6334 awesome!! 👏
Love Green Dragon. My wife and I went there for years in the 90s but didn't go back again until 2021. It was a reduced size at that point but it looks like its grown back to its pre-pandemic size again, which is great to see. We did not eat at Green Dragon in 2021 because there were not many food stalls with prepared foods I'm guessing because of the pandemic at the time. We ended up eating at the Ephrata Diner in town.
On a side note, I loved the way your pronounced Roots as a cross between the word roots and ruts. There is no mistaking that you're from South-Central PA. It's the accent I grew up around and I don't hear it enough being in NYC mostly full time now.
lol 😂 that is how I grew up hearing that word and how my family still says it 😆👍🤣 Those who are not from the area probably think I am terribly at pronunciation but you and I know that I’m right 😂😂😅
I can understand that being a problem post pandemic. It was interesting to see how different businesses reacted to it. But I’m so glad most everything is back to healthy and productive operating levels 😊😊👍👍
I love The Green Dragon so much to see and awesome prices 😊
@@lorrainehillegass8577 it’s such a fun place to explore and look around :) Definitely can get some good deals there :)
Thank you for showing this! I havent been home to Pa in 20 years and this made me cry. I loved seeing this place
@@001LadyE aww that is so sweet and sad! I’m so glad you loved seeing it! I have lots of Lancaster videos to help with the missing of this amazing place 😍 thanks for sharing ❤️
I like going to that market
Great video. We want to go but it looks like a lot of walking and no places to sit. That was a good looking shirt you had on. Angie was drooling over the ice cream. That is her all-time favorite flavor. Lapp Valley farms is the best! Had sticky buns for breakfast this morning, freezing them for the trip back worked great. God bless and safe travels.
Oh nice! Good idea to freeze them :)
I’ll be featuring her shirt in a soon to come live-stream :)
There were a few places to sit but not a lot. Similar to Roots.
Glad you made it back safely 😊
I love the Green Dragon Market! There are so many great vendors there!
When u go is there something you have to get? Or you just like to see what you are wanting that day ?
I bought a beautiful hanging plant there once, so that’s a vendor I look for. I also found a spot where they make fresh hot donuts and that was fabulous!
You do such an amazing job on your videos. I know I have said it before but you continue to amaze me. Between your passion for Lancaster and your editing skills, you hit it out of the park every time. It is something so relaxing but yet exciting about your videos. Thanks for the shoutout! Your narrating is exceptional (per David). Wonderful job my friend! ❤
You all are soooo sweet and kind! Thank you for such nice words 🥰🤗 I’m so thankful that we finally got to spend time together and become real life friends 😍😆😂 And you know I love your channel too!! 👌🎊👍
I shop GD often,and know venders Yes, do stop by when your in the area it’s a great place to spend the morning/afternoon or evening The food is great ! Enjoy

Hi Marie from Canada! Well I have never been to Ohio Amish Country but it’s on my “in the next 2 years” list 😆 thanks for watching and commenting ☺️
@@ElleLiving def make the trip I have been visiting for over 25 yrs and it's the best
@@mariebooze956 let’s compare notes after u go to Lancaster and I got to Ohio 😆👍
I love there maple walnut ice cream and that animal auction there starts at 3.00 pm and it usually doesn't end until 12.00 midnight or 1.00 am in the morning sometimes believe or not
That's my kind of walk. Great tour, Elle!
Thanks, Bruce 😊
Another great video thank you.I had no idea that farmers market was there. Thank you for making this video. Now i have another thing to do while I’m there again It was great to see you and your family. Hope to meet up again soon. Take care . Don
Thanks Don! Yes a place I definitely recommend going to for sure ☺️👍 bring your appetite and a cooler 😅👍 thanks again for being such a great subscriber!
Definitely, a cooler looks like a must have and thankfully I may be back there next week 🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@donk4264 awesome!
It's time for a road trip.
I heard of you all off a comment on Vafunseekers someone posted? Nice to meet you guys 😁
Nice to meet you! 😊 We love David Cindy and Carly! They are on this video in case u missed that part 😍👍 Do you go by Charlton?
I learned from my uncle to go around 1pm, specially when school is in session . people with students come early and have to be home to meet the kids when they get home. I also always took an ice chest for the meat I bought.
You all came up on my YT feed. My hubby & I are from there. I had my first job in building one, washing dishes. All of our family still lives there, but I haven't the last 40 years, settled near Gettyburgs. Visit GD last Fall, but I haven't been to Roots yet. It's on my things to do.
@@Karen-to9lr oh how nice! I’m from York county which is bw Gettysburg and Lancaster:). Roots is the market I’m most familiar with but I definitely think the outdoor area at GD is roomier :) Thanks for saying hi!
@@ElleLiving Im in York too, Northern School District, my girls settled here, so we followed to be close to the grandkids.
@@Karen-to9lr I went to Dover HS and have been to Northern! How funny 😆
Have a great weekend!❤
Thanks for watching Melanie! I need to go weed now 🤣
I grew up in Pa Green Dragon and Roots the best.
@@karenfunkfew2851 yes! There is no place like them anywhere else!! Lancaster is so special ❤️
Thanks for the shout out lol
Well you were absolutely right! I just didn’t have the time that day :) I try to give props where they are due 😊👍😀
My husband and I have a week long Lancaster trip planned in September we can't wait!
@@meganschoenfliess8201 that is awesome! I’ll be there the 6th and 7th of September 😍😍
@@ElleLiving we will be there September 14-21
@@meganschoenfliess8201 just missed passing each other ! 😆
😅 yes, back to the real world! I am sure your looking forward to your next visit to Lancaster!
Yes! I’m going back for like half a day on June 23rd 😍🤣!
We are Gween Dwagon!
There's a family out of Maryland I follow a husband and wife and they have 2 sons and every week they do a crumble cookie video talking about and eating the new cookies for that week
There was so many roumers about 20 years about putting a housing development in there but I don't think they can because when we get a lot of rain that area floods like crazy from the cocalaco creek there's been a few times where the green dragon couldn't open because of the flooding and I think some of the lower buildings can get flooding in them to
Roumers?
The original building where they use to do the animal auction at about 9 or 10 years ago had a huge fire in it and the building burnt down to the ground there's a new building in its spot now the news when that happened made the news in the Philadelphia area then to
Wow! That’s so interesting! I feel like I remember something happening to GD awhile ago. Hopefully no one was hurt. Did they ever determine how it started ?
They determined there was a little Cafe in that building you could get hot dogs French fries burgers and some other stuff and I think if I remember someone forgot to turn of all the equipment that night
Also if you go back to 2011 you can see all the flooding in that area from when hurricane Irene came up the coast they didn't open up the green dragon that Friday because everything was flooded in that area
@@keithatkins9783 oh geez. That’s difficult 😞
It was better when I was a little kid, now I think it is a tourist trap
Very interesting but you went to fast for us to really see anything.
@@shoebill181 yeah i understand- I kinda explained that a bit in video 😊 It was difficult to record when it was so busy and I didn’t want to have the phone in people’s faces too much 🫣 And it was just a quick trip. I hope to get more footage someday - will just have to find a less busy time if that exists 🤣
Don’t film the Amish folks
Green Dragon has gone downhill from years ago.
Sorry to hear that. So what are they not doing that they used to? Or what do they not sell that they used to? Curious about what is different ☺️ thanks for your time
