LEOLA PRODUCE AUCTION in Lancaster's AMISH LAND...It Spawned a Nationwide Movement for PRODUCE Sales

Come watch and listed to the sights and sounds of the auction that created a movement across the country. America's oldest produce auction has been used as a model auction since it began in the mid 1980's. Watch as produce and other items are auctioned off to the highest bidder. Bidders range from grocery outlets to farm markets to individuals looking to buy for their families.

I have been waiting to go all summer to the auction and this video came up… I think it’s the push I needed to go tomorrow!

Amazing... Our Lancaster Farmers (and all Farmers everywhere) work so hard on their fields to make sure we have the best quality possible. Love buying Local and from the USA...

I love the produce auction. I used to go all the time I love the Oxford produce auction. I go there all the time and buy all the time, but since I moved, they don’t have them here.

If you are from north / central New Jersey, all this beautiful produce is available daily at Schieferstein Market, Clark, NJ.

Hope you had your date wrong “1985” as its start & being the first because “Produce Auctions” were going string in the Southeast during the mid 1900’s, near me the Fashion Auction House in NC started a little after 1945, most have close in the SE since large grower shippers and terminal markers have taken over 90% of the movement

Thanks for commenting. I understand there were produce auctions earlier than this but are they still in existence? I know most have gone by the wayside for the reasons you stated. What’s the one you are referencing? I can find nothing with that name.

How can the auctioneer be understood? I’ve always stayed away from auctions for that reason and the speed at which the whole process processes.
