Zern's Farmer's Market

Zern's Farmers Market was a year-round farmers' market located in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania. It sits along Philadelphia Avenue near Bartman Avenue, close to Pennsylvania Route 100. Two buildings are located on the property: a lowercase "t" shaped main building and an "L" shaped enclosed flea market building. When weather permits, outdoor vending areas are set up in the space between the edifices in an area known affectionately as "the Midway". The "main" building is heated during winter, and utilizes a fan-circulation and heat extraction system during the warmer months of the year.

The market sells a variety of items, including toys, collectibles, pets, clothing, electronics, produce, and prepared food -- much of which includes noticeable Pennsylvania Dutch influences. The facility also houses two full-service butcher shops, a delicatessen, a barber shop, two bakeries, a specialty spice shop, a Hershey's Ice Cream hand-dipped ice cream shop, and a fresh poultry vendor. It is a common gathering location for residents in the area. To date, Auntie Anne's Pretzels is the market's sole chain vendor.
