Chappaquiddick (Edgartown)
Derived from a Native American word meaning “separated island,” Chappy, as it is called, is located off the eastern end of Edgartown and accessed by a three-car ferry. There are about 100 year-round residents and many more seasonal homeowners. With more than 800 acres of public beach and conservation land, it draws saltwater fishermen, kayakers, and bird watchers. There is no commercial zoning.

That old phrase “love is in the air” never seemed truer than during a walk in the Chappy woods one day last week.
Most of the folks that have to spend the winter away from Chappy seem to live in places where flowers and trees bloom about a month ahead of us.

Although I have been a farmer for over 10 years, I continue to be amazed when a seed or bulb evolves into an entire plant. How can so much life emerge from the simple act of placing a seed in soil?
