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

New bands, new vendors and no dogs. It’s farmers’ market season and the 43-year-old West Tisbury Farmers’ Market is under new management.

Lily Walter’s Slip Away Farm on Chappaquiddick serves the community there with a farm stand and community supported agricultural shares. Farm workers also make the trip to Edgartown every Friday morning to deliver produce to the restaurants in town.
