This place is mind boggling. You can find fresh foods, hand crafted specialty products and cheap imported ripoffs all next to each other. The hand crafted Mennonite products are wonderful. I saw some of the most gorgeous hand made quilts I've ever seen. Delectable home made Mennonite foods, too. And actual farmer's market produce. But beware of the tons of... More

St Jacobs Farmer's Market is one of the best farmer's markets I've been to: so much to eat! And it's all so good! There are lines everywhere for a reason. But don't worry it's not frantic, it's not overly busy, everyone is having a good time and socializing and before you know it you'll be having a conversation with the... More

I would advise anyone who is coming here for locally grown produce, to be very careful about choosing the right vendors. Make sure you ask where it is grown and how it is grown. I went in early June, so obviously there are some fruits and vegetables that are not yet in season (ie. sweet corn, apples, pears, peaches, some... More

Great Farmers' Market! Foods, meats, clothing, plants, vegetables...We were looking for Mennonite/Amish foods and we found them- the meat and bread selection was incredible. Pack your coolers and pick up some meats and cheeses (can bring back to the US). Right across the street from an outlet area, small farm animal petting area for children, many vendors, ample FREE parking.... More

Lots of vendors, meat, sausages and reasonable prices. Pastires, and home goods, vendors with stuff upstairs. It's a fun place. Great food court with great prices. Fun place to visit.

Great place to spend a few hours. Lots of fresh vegetables, fresh meat, lots of baked goods, and gifts. This is a very popular place to go. Open every Thursday and Sat in the winter, and one more day in the summer.

We drive about 45 minutes to this place about once a season and it is worth the drive. There are great mennonite products, like maple syrup and very hot horseradish, as well as some great butchers and some fresh farmer's produce. It is also close to an outlet mall and then to a nice walk and lunch through St. Jacobs... More

Or you'll ending up eating everything! Wow, the local food was fantastic and fresh! Inside is packed with stands that feature cheese, cured meats, jams and jellies, baked goods, apple fritters , and more. The German bakery with the muffins and apple fritters were standouts! Stay at the St Jacobs Marriott Courtyard within walking distance. It recently has been renovated... More
