Please stay at home if you:

2. Have been in close contact with anyone who has been sick or is currently sick, is being tested, or has been diagnosed with COVID 19.
3. Have travelled outside of the country within the last 2 weeks.

Please be patient and respectful of all other customers, vendors, and employees. It may not be the same shopping experience you have had in the past, but we all need make accommodations during this time to ensure the protection of all those visiting the St. Jacobs Market District. Some vendors have been temporarily moved to accommodate a different market layout, please call the market office or email marketoffice@stjacobsmarket.com for more information before you come to find a favourite vendor.

As always, we appreciate your continued support.
