My favorite part of summer has to be, hands-down, the local Farmers' Markets. Luckily, Lancaster and Lebanon Counties have several great places to buy local. Each of these places are open year-round and have their own particular schedule of business days/hours. So. in theory, if you like shopping for fresh foods and a short, leisurely drive, you visit one market each day of the week......
