The agricultural renaissance on the Vineyard has shown the Island not only is a fertile place to raise crops and livestock, but also a place where a thriving informal network of woman farmers has grown.
The resurgence, in fact, taps some very old roots. When Vineyard men went to sea in past centuries, Vineyard women ran the farms.

My Hide and Seek Pencil
Even tho’ I keep a pencil by
my phone
Ready to use in case of need

I start becoming apprehensial.
It’s not here! It’s not there!
