St. Jacobs Farmers' Market
The St. Jacobs Farmers' Market draws thousands of people every week, both locals and tourists. In fact, it is probably the most popular tourist attraction that Waterloo County has. Early on Labour Day, September 2nd, the main building at the market was destroyed by fire.
Three days later the market was open for business with outdoor vendors and I was there with my camera.
I have included a couple of photos of the charred remains of the building, but most of the following pictures show what the market is most famous for - its fresh produce and people, including both vendors and buyers. The people in the Kitchener/Waterloo area are very fortunate to have such an abundance of food grown locally and so easily accessible.
"They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest."
Psalm 107:37 NIV
