The first Saturday Chelsea Farmers Market of August is back at its regular location at Palmer Commons, 304 Main St. The market runs from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

Sales are brisk for some of your favorite summer vegetables and fruits like corn and peaches.

The choice of fresh produce abounds and that includes green beans, zucchini, cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes.

Blueberries and cherries will be for sale along with plants and flowers.

Look for locally baked breads, cakes, cookies and muffins, as well as peanut butter, jam, olive oil, and coffee.

Plenty of crafts will be for sale too including Lily Paddock’s creative crochet items and Megan Hayduk’s Acuarela Artistry featuring watercolor greeting card prints that capture nature’s beauty.
