Chelsea Farmers Market

8:00 am, Palmer Commons

Saturdays from 8am-1pm | May through October

Palmer Commons

For over 25 years the Chelsea Farmers Market has brought high-quality food and artisan products to the Chelsea community. This season promises several new vendors along with the return of musical entertainment and new events to engage the visitor, both young and old.

The Market offers seasonal vegetables and fruits of all types, meat and poultry, eggs, honey, maple syrup, coffee, a wide variety of breads and bakery items, herbs, hand crafted artisan products such as jewelry, birdhouses, body care and pottery. Organic and naturally-grown offerings available.

The market will be offering the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which allows Bridge Cards to be used at the market information table in exchange for Bridge Card Tokens to purchase food items. We are also thrilled to participate in the Double Up Food Bucks program, that matches every dollar of SNAP with a FREE dollar to be spent on fresh fruits and veggies.

The market also participates in WIC Project Fresh, Senior Project Fresh, Senior Market Bucks and Prescription for Health. See our Assistance page for more details.
