Chelsea's Saturday farmers market brings together local growers and producers every week from May through late October at 222 S. Main St. in downtown Chelsea. Running from 8:00 AM to noon, this weekly market captures the heart of the growing season in Washtenaw County, Michigan, making it an ideal destination for vendors selling seasonal produce, baked goods, dairy products, flowers, and prepared foods. The market serves as a gathering space where community members connect directly with the farmers and artisans who grow and make what they sell. You'll find the typical range of farmers market offerings here: fresh vegetables and fruit that change with the seasons, local honey, cheese, eggs, and baked goods from area producers. Many vendors also bring cut flowers, potted plants, herbs, and specialty items like jams or prepared foods. The market actively supports organic growers and welcomes vendors offering conventionally and sustainably grown products alike. This is the kind of market where you can expect genuine farm-to-table products rather than resold goods. What makes the Chelsea Farmers Market accessible is its payment flexibility. The market accepts credit cards for convenience while also honoring SNAP/EBT benefits, WIC vouchers, and Senior FMNP benefits, which broadens the customer base and supports community members across different economic circumstances. This infrastructure means your customers come from diverse backgrounds and shopping preferences. The weekly schedule from May 4 through October 26 follows the natural rhythm of Michigan's growing season, so inventory and vendor mix shift throughout these months. Spring brings greens and early crops, summer brings berries and peak vegetable season, and fall brings apples, squash, and root vegetables alongside late-season herbs and flowers. If you grow or produce food items seasonally in the region, this market offers consistent weekly placement during your peak selling months.
