Farm.
At North Tabor Farm, a 6-acre family-run farm off North Road in Chilmark we meet Matthew Dix & Rebecca Miller learning about the intricacies of growing highest-quality produce—from their popular greens, famous shitake mushrooms and beautiful tomatoes. We learned how to select the best of what the soil has to offer throughout the growing season, and why loving care for animals translates into good meat.

Lunch.
Then off to Beetlebung Farm, Chris Fischer’s family farm in Chilmark where food and farming have been central to the Island family for twelve generations. After a personal tour with Chris to harvest the final ingredients for lunch, we headed into the outdoor kitchen with his team to create a simple meal/

Ah. The reward. Our lovely al-fresco lunch on the farm.
