Farm women from St.James

Summary of the St. James Market Place

A spirited group of farm women got their heads together and shared their wise ideas with each other, after the closing and demolition of our church. Being a close knit farming community we didn't want to see the community disappear. Thus, came up with the idea of putting our small businesses together and work to keep our small community alive. Looking not only for ordinary folks to browse around, but a unique people looking for something different. We move forward with tremendous support from our community and surrounding area.
