Farm.
North Tabor Farm.
Our hosts Rebecca Miller and Matthew Dix at North Tabor Farm, took us behind-the-scenes of their 6-acre family-run farm off North Road in Chilmark. Out into the fields we got our hands dirty, learning about the intricacies of growing highest-quality produce—from their popular greens, famous shiitake 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.

Dinner.
After a brief rest, we joined back at the Beach Plum Restaurant for our evening ‘feast’, sharing a communal meal with new friends and the farmers we met during your journey. The multi-course dinner was accompanied by 'small batch' wine from Thirst Wine Merchants and beer from the local brewery Offshore Ale Company.

The dinners' proceeds benefited Island Grown Schools.
