Located an hour outside of Toronto, the nearby countryside is home to many local farmers and crafters who bring their products to our iconic market. Since 1975, visitors have enjoyed St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market where over 300 vendors gather each week inside three main buildings and in an outdoor area that swells as the growing season progresses.

Fresh local fruits and vegetables, quality meats and cheeses, locally-produced maple syrup, honey, preserves, baking, authentic cuisine from many cultures, imported produce, various gluten-free and organic options, local crafts and housewares are just a slice of what you’ll find here. Visit our skilled and friendly butchers offering enticing cuts of meat, who will happily produce custom cuts and special orders. The St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market is also well-loved for its ready-to-eat foods prepared on site. A great place for breakfast or lunch — try some fresh apple fritters, sausage on a bun, donair kebab, pizza, souvlaki, sushi, falafel and more.

Excerpt from stjacobs.com:

The red brick structure built in 1914 on the corner of Cedar and King was, until recently, the home of the Calvary United Church congregation. Now it is the home of Toy Soup, a long time favorite shopping destination for kids! Note the buttresses at the sides of the building and the decorative stone work at the peak of the bell tower. Note also the original stained glass windows.

St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church

The congregation was organized in 1864, and met in the schoolhouse, which is located behind the present church. The cornerstone for a new church was laid on May 21, 1866 and the brick church which was built adjoining the school, was dedicated on August 22, 1866. Land was purchased for a cemetery in 1868. Rev. Daniel Stahlschmidt was the first pastor. The congregation had become part of the Elmira Parish as of December 1865 and this association remained until 1905 when the congregation was joined with Conestogo. Rev. A.R. Schultz of St. James, Elmira had been pastor to the St. Jacobs congregation from 1879 until this time. A parish hall was built in 1905 and in 1918 the church was enlarged - a tower and main entrance were built.

Land was purchased in 1956 on the north side of the church and on August 13, 1961 the ground breaking service for a new church was held. Construction began immediately and the final service was held in the old church on November 18, 1961. Dedication services for the new church were held on May 27, 1962. The congregation celebrated the church's 125th Anniversary on September 8, 1991.
