Strawberries are predicted to be at this Saturday’s Chelsea Farmers Market, which runs from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at Palmer Commons.
You’ll also find rhubarb and radishes, greens, mushrooms, and potatoes.
Cheese will be available along with fresh breads, cookies, and cakes.
You also have the choice to order online as long as you do so by 6 p.m. on Thursday at the website https://openfoodnetwork.net/chelsea-farmers-market/shop.
When you pick up your order, you will be directed to the parking area and asked to stay in your vehicle and display a sign with your name on it. Market volunteers will wear masks and observe proper social distancing while delivering orders and collecting payments from customers, which must be made with exact cash, credit care, or SNAP/DUFB.
At the on-site market, everyone is encouraged to wear a mask, and vendors, volunteers, and market staff are required to wear a mask.
Market Manager Emily Griswold asks anyone with any sign of illness to please stay home.
Everyone is asked to practice social distancing of 6-10 feet and not to linger.
Shoppers will be asked to follow one-way pedestrian traffic signs using one entrance and one exit. There will also be hand washing stations.
