賓州蘭開斯特市的中央市場
地方性遺產
或許，您已經記不得您去過幾次超級市場了，但您曾到過任何市場，在那裡，負責銷售食物的人就是食物本身的生產者？
蘭開斯特市的中央市場是國內，最古老且仍在運作中的公共農夫市場。270年以來，蘭開斯特市的居民會到中央市場的廣場，從在地的種植者及生產者手中購買食物。自1730年代時，人們開始在此聚集，從事買賣。市場現在所使用的建築物建於1889年，名叫中央市場屋。
時下的我們習慣到當地的超級市場，購買來自加州的水果或是芝加哥的肉類。但在殖民時期，人們只能食用當地現有的食材。冬天時，他們會吃蔬菜的根莖部分，如：蕪菁及洋蔥，而不是蕃茄或青椒，這些食材只有夏天才有。現在的人們為求新鮮及美味，仍喜歡選購當地生產的食材。
You've probably been to a supermarket more times than you can remember. But have you ever been to a market where the people who produce the food are the ones who sell it?
Lancaster's Central Market is one of the oldest continuously operating public farmer's markets in the nation. For 270 years, the people of Lancaster have come to the central market square area to buy foods from local growers and producers. People began meeting here to sell and shop in the 1730s. The current building used for the market, called the Central Markethouse, was built in 1889.
Nowadays we are used to visiting the local supermarket to buy fruit from California or meat from Chicago. In Colonial times, people had to eat whatever was available to them locally. In the winter, they ate root vegetables such as turnips and onions, rather than tomatoes or green peppers, which were only available in the summer. Today, people still like to seek out locally grown food for its freshness and taste.
