I've always maintained a stubborn distance from flower farming.

Island farms are growing more food, thanks to better infrastructure, attention to soil health, extending the growing season, and capturing more food before it goes bad.

The Edgartown farmstand will close Feb. 2, with plans to reopen in early April.

An abundance of sweet corn from Morning Glory Farm will be distributed to Islanders in need on Thursday in Vineyard Haven.

Things are looking up. Proof that summer actually will come: Morning Glory farm stand opened on Tuesday. My meals are more delicious already.

Morning Glory Farm is moving its farmstand opening date to May 5 at the request of the Edgartown board of health.

Morning Glory Farm introduces its second cookbook with a reading on Tuesday at the farm stand. "In this book, vegetables are the stars," said Jim Athearn.
