St. Jacob's Farmers Market

Neal and I had a really nice trip to St. Jacob's today.  We wanted to get some fruit and vegetables and this is one of the best places to get it.  We got some grapes, cherries, peas and zucchini that were picked that morning right from the farms in the area.  You can't get more local than that.  I really think we should support our local farmers.

While you are in town you can walk around and see what people are selling and food and then when you are in need of some air conditioning you can cross the street a go into the outlet mall.  The outlet mall is a bit disappointing as there are a lot of empty stalls now, but it's still nice to walk around there.  Then when you are all finished there you can either take a horse and buggy ride or drive your car into town and there are more shops and restaurants.

The town of St. Jacob's is a Mennonite town.  Unfortunately, with each passing year we see less and less Mennonite people.  If you are going to visit the town of St. Jacobs then you should go on Saturday but be prepared for lots of walking and a really difficult time finding a parking spot.
