Each week at the Chelsea Saturday Farmers Market, more and more produce is arriving. Check out what’s new on May 28 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Palmer Lot.
This season, Chelsea Update is profiling vendors at the Chelsea Farmers Market, and this week, and this week’s featured vendor is HumusFalafil
HumusFalafil has been making and selling falafels and hummus for just about a month, though the rich combination of flavors tastes more like something that’s been around for a lot longer.
Ferial Rewoldt retired from her career as a nurse at the University of Michigan and had an idea to sell hummus. She lives in Ann Arbor and was born in Lebanon where she was influenced by the cooking.
“I grew up with all kinds of spices and lemony food,” said Rewoldt.
She sells falafels, hummus with pita bread, and baklava at HumusFilafil.
“Stephanie (Willette, market manager) has been a great support,” said Rewoldt. “She has guided me every step of the way.”
Now HumusFilafil is a busy stop for hungry shoppers. Rewoldt, who is an active volunteer in Ann Arbor, is pleased with her debut at the market, and plans to involve young people who need hands on experience to assist her.

Below is the list of vendors who are expected to be there. Please keep in mind that sometimes the vendors aren’t able to attend the market and that planned products are not available.
