Zern's Farmer's Market

Zern's Farmers Market was a year-round farmers' market located in Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania. The official website for the market spells both "Zern's" and "Farmer's" both with and without an apostrophe. It was located along Philadelphia Avenue (Pennsylvania Route 73) 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 (and smaller) enclosed flea market building. When weather permitted, outdoor vending areas were set up in the space between the edifices in an area known affectionately as "the Midway". The "main" building was heated during winter, and utilized a fan-circulation and heat extraction system during the warmer months of the year. The market sold 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 housed 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 was a common gathering location for residents in the area. Auntie Anne's Pretzels was the market's sole chain vendor. Weekly live auctions were held in the main building, and an ongoing "silent auction" could be found in the flea market building. Other specialty events included automobile shows and local wrestling federation matches. The market was normally open on Fridays and Saturdays only, although holiday hours varied.
