聖雅各農貿市場
聖雅各農貿市場（St. Jacobs Farmers' Market）是加拿大安大略省的一個農貿市場和跳蚤市場，位於滑鐵盧區北國王街以南，鐵路軌道以西。它是加拿大最大的全年農貿市場，[1] 是附近社區居民以及來自加拿大國內外遊客的熱門目的地。[2][3] 每年吸引大約100萬遊客。[4]
聖雅各農貿市場由基奇納和滑鐵盧的八名農民建立於1975年4月[5]。其中的Shantz 家族管理市場四十多年，直到2017年。市場最初只是「人行道上的帳篷」[3]。1986年，建成兩層高、24,000-平方英尺（2,200-平方公尺） 的木建築，[6][3]框架使用來自不列顛哥倫比亞省的橫梁[1]。
市場的主樓在2013年9月2日被大火燒毀[7]，沒有造成人員和牲畜的傷亡[2]。經過修復和擴建，耗資500萬美元，34,000平方英尺（3,200平方公尺）的市場於2015年6月11日重新開放。[4] 市場於全年的周四和周六上午7點至下午3:30開放。
與原來的主樓一樣，市場下層出售食品，上層出售手工藝品。購物者可以一站式找到各種肉類、奶酪、烘焙食品和當地美食。
