The Farmers' Market St Jacob

Hugh, David and I went to the St Jacob's Farmer's Market one Saturday which you can see is rich with fresh produce. We took a small tour via horse drawn cart to a Mennonite Farm near there. This was most interesting indeed, as on the way the tour guide told us all about Mennonite beliefs and how they are part of the community, but apart in the sense of their beliefs.
