The Wednesday Chelsea Farmers Market is the place to find Deb Marks and her wide range of plants and produce from Marks Farm and Greenhouse in Britton, Michigan.
You’ll always find plants for sale from Marks ranging from vegetables to herbs along with hanging baskets, succulents, and seasonal vegetables like cucumbers, lettuces, spinach, and onions.
In addition, Marks Farms raises beefalo, a cross between beef cattle and buffalo, and sells the meat. The family farm also offers a CSA program.
You’ll also find seasonal fruits at the Wednesday market along with cheeses and French baked goods, pottery and soy candles.
The market runs from 2-6 p.m. and is located at the Chelsea State Bank parking lot at the intersection of M-52 and Old US12.
