Food, fun and farmers One of the gems of Carroll County is the Pennsylvania Dutch Farmers Market . Located in the Crossroads Square Shopping Center, it hosts Amish and Mennonite farmers selling their homemade wares.
Offerings range from licorice and moon pies to meat, breads and flavored cheese spreads.
Those who don't shop at the Pennsylvania Dutch market flock to the Farmers' Market at the Agricultural Center, just two miles from town. Buyers can find local produce, fresh pies and hand-sewn quilts. The market is open June through October, Saturdays 8 a.m.-noon. Of course, you can't live by farmers' stands alone.
