It’s with great personal sadness that I’ve posted the extended obituary for Jeffrey Howard Flintoft, who most people around town knew as the owner of Chelsea Market and the operator of the meat/counter deli.
Jeff died this week from cancer, after closing the meat counter he manned for so many years. I, like many folks in town, was a regular customer of Jeff’s, and looked forward to seeing his smiling face at least a couple of times a week. He was always willing to lend a hand, took care of special orders with obvious relish, and in general made Chelsea a more pleasant place to live for all of us. He leaves behind a wife, two daughters, and a town that will surely miss him.
Visitation is Wednesday, services are Thursday, and donations can be directed to the Chelsea Community Hospital Cancer Center. Details are in the extended obituary.
Mmmm, fruit and veggies. Here’s the lineup in store for you at the downtown Chelsea Farmers Market on Park Street Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon:
Back Forty Acres will have pasture-raised chicken and duck, chicken liver, rabbit, pork and free range chicken eggs.
“Never cooked duck or rabbit?” Stephanie Doll asked. “Just ask us at the market! Always glad to share a few tips!”
Tantre Farm will have arugula, green beans, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, Swiss chard, collard greens, cucumbers, Italian dandelion greens, eggplant, garlic, kale (Green Curly, Lacinato and Red Russian), kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, melons, okra, onions (flat Cipollini, sweet red, sweet yellow), peppers (green bell, hot, sweet red, Padron), potatoes (All Blue, Red Norland, Yukon Gold), sweet potato leaves, spicy greens mix, summer squash, tomatillos, tomatoes (cherry, green, heirloom, plum, slicing), zucchini and watermelon. They’ll also have fresh cut flowers and a wide variety of herbs.
TJ Farms is out this week.
Chelsea Children’s Cooperative Preschool will have a non-profit booth, there will be children’s activities, and the Bob Skon Trio will provide music.

The New Chelsea Market meat and deli counter, which was operated by Jeff Flintoft, closed abruptly over the weekend as he decided to retire. We’ll have more details, but here’s the letter from Kevin Riley and Francisca Fernandez, who operate the rest of the store (and do not plan to close).
Details as we have them.
“Dear Friends and Customers,
“Since we began our store in 2007, we have attempted to make the New Chelsea Market a thriving part of the downtown business community.
“As many of you already know, the past two weeks have brought changes to our location. Jeff Flintoft, who had been proprietor of the meat and deli business for many years, has decided to retire, which will leave a significant absence in our local business community. We are saddened by this decision, but know that it has been made in the best interests of all concerned.
