St. Jacobs Farmers Market

St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market & Flea Market is said to be Canada’s largest farmers market with over 500 vendors. 

You'll find fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, cheese, baking of every description, crafts galore, plus local "delicacies" like sausage, apple fritters and pure maple syrup. You'll also find home-grown produce brought from local Mennonite farms by horse and buggy.

If brand name shopping is more your pleasure, The St. Jacobs Outlets Mall is right next door as is the Market Road Antiques for those of you who are thrilled by old treasures.

Kissing Bridge & Conestogo

After our shopping experience at the Farmers' Market, we go on our guided bus tour of Mennonite country with a local tour guide.

Included in this tour is a visit to a Mennonite General Store and to the kissing bridge, the last covered bridge in Ontario. There will be some wonderful photo opportunities for those you who are camera buffs.

Village of St. Jacobs

After our bus tour, we return to St. Jacobs to spend some time visiting and shopping in the quaint shops in this beautiful village. The main street and side streets are filled with shops of all kinds. Visitors usually go home with gifts, new pieces of art by local artists, intriguing Waterloo County handicrafts and furniture, food, antiques, books, clothing, toys...the list is endless.

St. Jacobs also has The Mill. This is an old grain storage facility with silos that has been converted into a very unique museum and has exhibits such as the Maple Syrup museum, the quilt gallery and a model railway exhibit amongst other things.
