Cap off the Independence holiday week with a visit to the Saturday Chelsea Farmers Market at Palmer Commons. The market runs from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.

Michigan cherries, both sweet and sour, have arrived, along with raspberries, strawberries, potatoes, zucchini, beets, mushrooms, and a variety of greens. The Chelsea market also has vendors selling baked goods, honey, eggs, cheeses, meats, pottery, jewelry, and soy candles.

Among the bakers is Nick Raterman, a Chelsea resident who bakes a variety of sourdough breads, which are naturally fermented. Raterman’s breads start with three ingredients: flour, water, and salt. The choice of Raterman sourdough breads keeps on growing and include original, asiago rosemary, multigrain, kalamata olive, sesame, and rye wheat.

Saturday market vendors this season include Brieland Shoultz Farm, Bordine Farms, Goetz Family Farm, Heim Gardens, Jacob’s Fresh Farm Shares, Kapnick Orchards, Lake Divide Farm, Merkel Gardens and Greenhouses, Tantré Farm, Two Tracks Acres, La Baguette, Lakehouse Bakery, Stone Hearth Bakery, Sweet & Salty (cookies), Raterman (sourdough bread), Fluffy Bottom Creamery, Para Para Creamery, H&H Sugarbush, LLC, Shoreline Wild Salmon, Affeathermations, Awakened Provisions, Bristle’s Handmade and Homegrown, Debbie’s Beads, Lavender and Honey Herbal Apothecary, Country Hills Pottery, Elderwoods, Hoppy Soap, Holdwick, Santa Rosa Watercolors, Smellz so Good (candles), Thistle Blossom Herbal, and Roaming Goat hot food.
