**Review for their pick your own strawberry**…read more The price for 2018 is $6/kg, which I remembered it was $5/kg when I last went here for the 2016 strawberry season. They have a pretty large strawberry field for customers to pick from. You can either bring your own container to buy a basket from them, and they will weight your strawberries at the end to determine the cost. There is no time limit of how long you stay in the field to pick, and they have free parking on site. It appears that this year the yield was lower than usual, as the strawberries were mostly smaller than the ones I picked back in 2016. However, they still taste really good despite the smaller size. The strawberries go back fairly quickly, so you should eat them within a day or two after picking, or store them in the freezer to make smoothies. They also have other produce available for picking, which I think corn is coming up later in July. You can go on their website to see what's available and the prices. They also have a market on the other side of the street for customers to buy fresh produce from, much like a farmers market

A recent bus day trip included a stop at this market and it was a delightful little place. Lots of…read morepreserves, fresh baked goods, produce and even some frozen options. There is also gelato and ice cream offerings. I got myself a strawberry sundae that hit the spot. I also picked up some ambrosia apples, an unique maple chipotle pepper seasoning, red pepper jelly, strawberry cream honey (!!) and a corn dip. The last thing I hesitated on until a customer said it was amazing. Sold! I bought a frozen one to survive a bit longer and I haven't tried it yet, but considering the enjoyment of everything else, I trust it will be good. My sister got some fresh corn on the cob and her whole family wished she brought home more. So if you're in the area, do yourself a favour and see what Herrie's has to offer.

There are many vendors selling food and they're all busy! After wandering around the market for a while, it was time to get some lunch. With tons of choices, and everything looking good, we took a little while to decide. We ended up with a chicken pita, roast beef pita, and a roast beef sandwich. We also had a couple different types of freshly made potato chips. It was all good. Of course, we had to have some apple fritters, perhaps the most popular food item at the market. The lineup went out the door, even though it was drizzling a bit. It was worth the effort. They were hot, freshly made, and delicious! There is so much to see, do, buy, and photograph at St. Jacobs Farmers' Market. The produce market alone offers so many great photo opportunities of picture perfect fruits, vegetables, flowers, and more.

Grampa's Pretzels inside Peddler's Village is an absolute must-try when you're at the St Jacobs…read moreMarket! Even if you're not typically a pretzel enthusiast, this place will convert you. While you won't find any actual grandpas on site, what you will discover is a team of three generations of skilled women meticulously crafting the ultimate soft pretzels right before your eyes. From shaping the dough to the boiling and baking process, it's a mesmerizing experience. Be prepared to wait in line for about 20 minutes to place your order, but trust me, it's worth it. Grampa's offers options, including sugar cinnamon and the classic butter and salt. They even provide a side package of mustard if that's your preference. What sets these pretzels apart is their perfect soft chewiness, unlike the typical hard, snack-type pretzels you might be used to. And they don't skimp on portions here - you'll receive a generous serving. Most patrons don't settle for just one; it's common to see people buying multiple pretzels. So, if you find yourself in line, embrace the opportunity to get a few more of these treats! Grab a beer from TWB across from it to complement that pretzel. As many shops in this area, it's just a counter but there's a few spots to sit inside the Peddler's Village and also outdoor patio seating.

The Antique store is quite awesome if you are into fun old signs, coins and trucks. St. Jacobs Antique Market: Antique market as they had quite a large selection of awesome things but everything was very expensive! You can expect everything from furniture, art, china, militaria, coins, jewellery, mini vehicles, etc. If you love watching American Pickers, well you will love this place as this is the aftermath of buying it cheap, cleaning it up and selling at a very high price. They also have bulk shop just like bulk barn attached to it. Over all if you are checking the market out make sure you check out the Antique store as well.

Parking is free and make sure you check out the expensive wide variety of Canadian pottery including pottery made on location at Conestoga River Pottery shop. All in all a decent day trip.
