About this place:

The St. Jacobs Farmers Market is open Thursdays and (with more buildings open) Saturdays year round, with an additional Tuesday market in the summer. The market's origin in the local Waterloo County Mennonite community defines the character of the market, and much of the available foods and crafts as well, but the market also reflects the changing nature of the city it lies on the outskirts of. A train runs to the market from downtown Waterloo in the summers.
