This is one of my favourite day trips from my parent's who live in Ontario. It's about a 45-minute drive northwest from Mississauga, past Guelph. St. Jacob's has one of world's largest farmer's markets. The area is home to a Mennonite community. It draws people from all over who've heard about their great shopping area, which has both good deals and great finds. Whether it's furniture, antiques, crafts, clothing or home decor you're looking for, St. Jacobs is such a fun day of browsing and discovering. It's a quaint town with lots of places to eat, whether it's fine dining or a casual lunch you want to grab. It's a typical sight to see people eating ice cream cones or savouring homemade fudge. My favourite time to go here is Christmas, when everything is beautifully decorated and lit up. You can take a carriage ride through the village, chat with locals and learn more about the Mennonite culture that's rooted here.
