Welcome to the off-season. The air has a nice bite and the beauty of the Island enfolds us with shorter, golden days. In our final Issue of 2021, we jump into the colors, food, wine, and coziness of the off-season. We caught up with the M.V. Fisherman’s Preservation Trust, whose work and focus are supporting Menemsha’s fishing fleet, as well as feeding the Island. How many restaurants do you remember at the location State Road restaurant now inhabits in North Tisbury. Preserving the bounty of backyard summer tomatoes and old-fashioned canning. Enjoy some oysters, friends, and the creative, delicious food at Beach Road restaurant prepared by Island-grown chef Frank Williams. Warm up with a great soup recipe from Catherine Walters, and eat some Island pork!
This past year has been a wild ride, but the core of the Island and Edible Vineyard remains the same — great food, great stories, great community. We look forward to our off-season of rest and renewal, and to more great experiences next year.
