Usually they have dishes out for you to…read moreactually try the flavours before you buy, but we got in a bit late so they cleaned all that up. They have coated nuts, ones that are roasted in a specific flavouring, etc. So it's a nice variety for you to take home and try / gift to your friends/ family! They also have some unique snacks and candies like banana chips, special kettle chips, home made candy, and I hear they got some popsicles/ ice cream in the summer ;) Nice place to stop by and grab a treat if you're heading for Saint Jacobs! Oh! And everythings quite a nice, decent price.

I have to visit this little peanut shop every time I visit St. Jacobs. It's a landmark in the area…read moreand for a good reason! They have an extensive selection of flavourful nuts and chocolates. I remember seeing peanuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds, and they have different each one in different flavours. They also have chocolate blueberries, cherries, raisins, cranberries, and clusters. Best to just go and check it out for yourself as I can't remember all their products. You won't be disappointed! They're all fairly priced as well. Most items are about 125g to 200g for $2.99. Some products come in a smaller and larger package. Must-try items: peanuts enrobed in a crispy potato chip shell and caramel crisp clusters They're highly addictive! The caramel crisp clusters were so good that I almost finished the entire box in one sitting. Soft chewy caramel dipped in chocolate with little crispy pieces! Craving it from just thinking about it. The crispy potato chip peanuts come in many flavours and I have never seen it being sold anywhere else! Super crispy shell! They have little containers of peanuts on the shelf above some products for you to try before purchasing. They have the crispy potato shell for sunflower seeds too, but there are less flavours to choose from. I believe they also sell ice cream during the summer and the staff are very friendly. St. Jacobs is a beautiful quaint little town near Waterloo so aside from going to Picard's, you can also stop by the town (another 2-3 minute drive). Definitely worth visiting!

For many years my family bought all its meat from Stone Crock Meats & Cheese. However, in 2021 the…read morebusiness was taken over by something called the Fat Sparrow Group. All the long-time, friendly, and expert staff were gone. The product selection has declined as has the quality - a recently purchased chicken pie would have been more accurately described as a chick gravy pie. And, one day there was no bacon - a butcher shop with no bacon, unheard of. It's sad to see a local business that we've supported for many years go downhill.

Stone Crock Meats & Cheese is a cute little shop not too far from the Stone Crock restaurant and…read morebakery. They have a pretty good selection of raw meat, deli meat, cheese, eggs, pickles, and other condiments. The prices are a bit higher than what you'd find in a supermarket, but that's generally the case of all shops in the village. Tourist prices, I guess. I have purchased their eggs, hamburger patties, and pepperettes (the jalapeno flavoured ones are delish) and they are all fresh and tasty. I'm not a cheese fan so I can't comment on the selection or quality of the cheeses.

The terms "free-range" and 'no antibiotics" used by the super friendly staff left me curious. What do these terms mean exactly? I looked this up. I am going to eat the meat I bought, apparently it is tasty. I'll go back if I like what I eat and I will ask more questions! Perhaps The Poultry Place might comment here and educate me.
