- Zern's Farmer's Market
Zern's is a year-round
farmers market located inGilbertsville, Pennsylvania . The market sells a variety of items including toys, collectibles, pets, clothing, electronics, produce, and prepared food -- much of which includes noticeablePennsylvania Dutch influences. It is a common gathering location for residents in the area.William Zern started Zern's, also known as "The Sale," in 1922. The small family farm auction was soon joined by neighbors and townsfolk and before long a Gilbertsville landmark was born. The auction grew, and pulled in numerous vendors of widely varying merchandise. In 1966, tragedy struck as fire broke out and turned Zern's into a pile of burnt remains. Within days there was a groundbreaking for the new building, and Zern's has stood tall since. There are currently over 200 vendors and stands.
Philadelphia Magazine once voted Zern's "Best Of Philly."
