St. Jacobs Market & Village

Step back in time as we travel to St. Jacobs, known for the largest population of Old Order Mennonites in Canada. There is something for everyone at the St Jacobs Market. It is the perfect time to purchase fresh vegetables and fruit from Waterloo’s own backyard, as well as maple syrup, cheese, meats and much more. Don’t be surprised to see horse and buggies clip-clopping along on the rural roads as we travel the short distance between the market and downtown. You’re sure to find more treasures in the one-of-a-kind shops along the Conestoga River. The day will be complete with a visit to Picard Peanuts, the home of the Canadian Peanut. Be sure to bring along your cooler today, to take home all your goodies and treasures. Lunch is not included but you can find many spots to eat at the Market or in the Village.

Activity Level: Moderate to Active – requires walking around the market all afternoon but there are plenty of places to rest.
