St. Jacobs and Woolwich

St. Jacobs and Woolwich Don’t be surprised to see horse and buggy traffic as you explore the side roads of Woolwich Township, or the quaint village of St. Jacobs. Roadside stands beckon you to buy produce straight from the farm, or from the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market – the largest in Canada.

Discover local heritage at the “Mennonite Story” in the Visitor Centre at St. Jacobs, and at the nationally famous Elmira Maple Syrup Festival.

Ride the Waterloo St. Jacobs Railway to the unsurpassed shopping destination of St. Jacobs, and stay a while longer at Benjamin’s Restaurant and Inn, to sample some of the area’s famous country cuisine and world class country hospitality.
