(Chelsea Update would like to thank Abby Hurst for the information in this story.)
Agricole, the planned year-round, indoor farmers market and community café for the Mack Building on Jackson Street in Chelsea, reached more than half its $50,000 crowdfunding goal during the first week of fundraising. (That total has now reached almost $35,000.)
With this fundraising campaign, Agricole owners are seeking a matching grant from MEDC’s Public Community Places program.
Those wishing to help Agricole reach its goal by April 7 are encouraged to learn more at the campaign at: https://www.patronicity.com/project/agricole_farm_stop#!/
