Anyone who has been reading Chelsea Update for any length of time knows that I am a huge fan and supporter of Chelsea’s two farmers markets and I’d love to see you Monday night between 5:30-7:30 at the Plaid Melon Cafe downtown for a fundraising Yellow Door to benefit them.

The suggested donation is $15 and the menu sounds heavenly.
There are four kinds of soup:
Soup 1 – Lamb / White Bean / Spinach / Feta (broth)
Soup 2 – Ham / Potato / White Cheddar (cream)
Soup 3 – Chicken / Potato / Ginger / Pecan Croutons (cream)
Soup 4 – Spinach / White Bean / Pesto (broth)

Salad 1 – Cabbage slaw w/ carrots and watermelon radishes
Salad 2 – Buttercrunch and red leaf lettuces w/ carrots, strawberries and pickled onions

Assorted Breads, Coffee, Tea

Plaid Melon is donating the space and the following local vendors have supported this special fundraiser. (And, hopefully, I’ve named each of them below. If I missed anyone let me know.)

Chelsea Alehouse Brewery, Frog Holler Produce, Millpond Bread, Stonehearth Bakery, Brieland-Shoultz Farm, Fresh Coffee, Crooked Carrot Farm, Mama Mo Foods, Zatkovich Pastures, Golden Fleece Farm, Jane Fink, Cakes by Penny, Goetz Farm, Two Tracks Acres, Tantre Farm, and Goetz Greenhouse.

There will also be a drawing for Dahlia bulbs provided by Bordine Farms.

And while on the topic of supporting community efforts, I’m hoping that if Chelsea Update has helped you be better informed or helped you promote an event, group, or organization with stories or, if you just enjoy reading the publication every day – please consider making a donation of any amount to my one-person efforts. I work super hard on it every day and rarely get a full day off because Chelsea Update continually brings you “All the News That’s Fit to Print About Chelsea.”

Donations can be sent to Chelsea Update, 18829 Bush Road, Chelsea, MI 48118. And thank you all so much in advance. I love bringing you the news daily because the Chelsea Community is such a wonderful place filled with great people who never fail to let me know how much they appreciate my efforts.

Hope to see you Monday night and have a great Sunday, everyone.
