MAY 18, 2018 ~ FIRST MARKET OF THE 2018 SEASON!
What a beautiful day for a Farmers Market! The sun shone, the sky was blue, and that amazing patchwork of green that is the hallmark of May was everywhere to be seen.
Butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, farmers, cooks, craftspeople, and customers!
ALL came to the first market of the season on Chelsea's North Common on Friday May 18!
We had 11 vendors - 6 farmers, 2 artisan craftspeople, and 3 prepared food vendors who also sold crafts. Three vendors were totally new to Chelsea Market and more will be coming on board as the season progresses.
Doug Perkins played his heart out for us and everyone loved him and asked for him to come back! The Market Cafe will begin operations on May 25 with the Hayward family serving smoked chicken, salads, and dinner rolls and we got several sign ups for the cafe for later in the season

Like our Vermont gardens this market will GROW very quickly. We have some great vendors coming on board as the season advances and plans to introduce a
COMMUNITY TABLE where we will sell local dairy items (cheeses, milk, yogurt) and seasonal items such as springtime foraged items, (fiddleheads, ramps, mushrooms etc.) along with summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries) and anything else that will bring variety to our market. CFM will charge 10% of the sale price.
If you don’t live here, ‘Come to Chelsea, it’s a BEAUTIFUL drive’ - it really IS!

Please tip our talented musicians, if you can! They play for us out of their love of community, not because of the size of our budget! Thanks from the CFM Board.

The Chelsea Farmers Market is a weekly community event on the North Common in the heart of Chelsea, Vermont.
The market provides a space for neighbors and friends to gather, play, eat, shop, dance, and enjoy the market's many offerings. From live music, to children's events, to festivals, the Chelsea Farmers' Market is a great place for families, friends, and neighbors. Averaging 15 vendors per market, it's a great place to pick up fresh, local staples and goodies like eggs, maple syrup, veggies, poultry, beef, honey, and DONUTS! In 2018, the market will occur on Fridays from 3-6pm, May 18th through September 28th. We will also have our special Holiday Market on the second Saturday in November, 9am-2pm, at the Chelsea Public School Gym. Follow the market on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! |
