Memorial Day weekend has arrived on Martha’s Vineyard, bringing with it a mix of uncertainty and optimism as Islanders navigate the shifting political and economic climates. 

Owners Molly and Eric Glasgow announced last week that they will pause operations in the fall. The couple plans to continue to farming, but they doubt they will continue to sell cheese.

On the Great Plains of Katama surrounding Herring Creek Farm in Edgartown, broad fields of sandplain grasslands rippled in the gusty winds as spring unfolded in all its glory this week.

Here’s the Martha’s Vineyard retreat you’ve been waiting for—a beautifully appointed Edgartown compound set on 1.5 acres, and bordered by 25 acres of conservation land. This property includes a 5-bedroom main house, a 2-bedroom guest house, and an elevated pool with mahogany decking. Located just 0.2 miles from Morning Glory Farm and 1.5 miles from the village via bike path, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and proximity. 

Martha’s Vineyard Community Services respectfully appeals to the Island community for support.
