​Ingredients for a successful adventure

Frequently Asked Questions.



What can I expect of a Farm. Field. Sea. adventure?
Guests are invited to dive behind the scenes with the food purveyors of Martha's Vineyard. Some adventures require walking and/or a physical activity, others do not, we ask guests to listen to their own bodies to assess the difficulty and possible risk of the tour.


Will the schedule be exactly what is listed on the website.
The sample schedules paint a fairly accurate picture of what you will experience with Farm. Field. Sea. Be assured, however, that any change that we may make will be based solely on how we can create the best experience possible for you.

What if there is bad weather?
The sun always shines on Martha’s Vineyard! Okay, maybe not always.

  • Oyster Farm Tours: your comfort and safety is paramount to us. If there is inclement weather that will compromised either, we will cancel the tour and you can reschedule your event (subject to availability), receive credit towards a future event or request a full refund.
  • Pop Ups: the event will proceed as scheduled in light rain and other mild weather conditions. In the event that we have to cancel, you will have the opportunity to reschedule your tickets (subject to availability) or receive credit towards a future event. We do have excellent back-up plans in case of weather meltdowns, but for the most part, IT IS ON! So please dress appropriately.

Do I need to know anything about the pop-up dinner locations? 
Your meal will be held in an amazing bespoke location, where you will dine with your new friends and with Farm.Field.Sea. collaborators you have met along the way. 

Can you accommodate people with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians, vegans, or people with food allergies?
Some of our dinners do offer a vegetarian option. Please specify these requirements when your reservations are made. While we certainly respect dietary choices and restrictions, we're not able to offer menu substitutions. Our highly talented chefs create a dynamic menu based on that day’s harvest. The cooking spaces and locations are casual, so we will be without the benefit of a full restaurant pantry.

Can you tell me about the custom dinners/lunches? 
Due to the challenges caused by Covid-19 we will not be hosting custom events in 2020.

Are the excursions dangerous in any way?
We do go 'off the beaten path' via car, foot, and boat. So, while adventure is the name of the game, safety always comes first. All excursions are taken at your own risk. For our oyster tours, please note - 
Consuming raw seafood, shellfish may increase your risk of food-borne illness.

What do I wear/bring?
Please bring: rain jackets, rain/muck boots, short and long pants, flip flops, bathing suits, walking shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, water bottle—and layers! It can be chilly at night. Be comfortable!

Can we bring kids?
Please check the adventure description to ensure the Farm. Field. Sea. excursion is appropriate for your kids.   
​
Do you do custom events for groups, companies or businesses?
Yes! We can plan a custom event for groups. The group size due to Covid-19 restrictions are ever changing, please contact us for details.

What if I purchase a Farm.Field.Sea. adventure but then have to cancel?
For Farm.Field.Sea. ticketed events, refunds are not available. You are welcome to transfer your reservation to friends, family, or to that nice person you met on Craigslist. We require that you contact us with an e-mail address for the new ticket holder five days prior to the event. If FFS needs to cancel the event because of inclement weather, you can either book another adventure, or we will refund you your full fee.
