The Wednesday Chelsea Farmers Market features a variety of vendors including long time fixture at both the Wednesday and Saturday market Duane Bordine.
The Stockbridge resident owns 10 acres of land on which he’s raised plants and flowers since 2005. Bordine grows and sells dahlias, zinnias, snap dragons and gladiolas.
He offers rewards cards for returning customers and enjoys sharing his plants with kids at the markets.
There are other varieties of plants at the Wednesday market along with seasonal fruits and vegetables like raspberries, blueberries, squash and potatoes.
The market is located at the Chelsea State Bank parking lot at the intersection of M-52 and Old US12 and runs from 2-6 p.m.
These are the Wednesday vendors, though not every vendor is guaranteed to be there.
