Winner, Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Best Local Cuisine cookbook in the United States.
 Everyone on the the Island of Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts eventually ends up at Morning Glory Farm -- celebrities, Islanders, summer visitors, foodies. 
Buying fresh, locally grown and prepared foods from Morning Glory is a rite of passage. Here, rich in detail and lush with the photographs of Alison Shaw, is the story of how the farm came to exist, the family that makes it happen, and the food that excites us all. The 70 recipes include favorites from both the farm stand and some well-known Island chefs. 
The Morning Glory Farm story is a romantic one: A young husband and wife hailing from different ends of Martha s Vineyard, with different backgrounds and different expectations in life, carve a few acres out of woodlands and plant what turns out to be a crop of wormy corn. 
Thirty years later, the worms are gone, and the couple plant, cultivate, harvest, and sell dozens of fruits and vegetables, prepared dishes and baked goods from a rustic farm stand that is the epicenter of fine, locally grown foods on the Vineyard. They supply restaurants with their produce restaurants that then brag about using Morning Glory products and they literally have people waiting in lines to buy just-picked corn and just-baked pies. 
And they do this with the help of a large and loyal crew and two sons who work alongside them planting and harvesting by hand on this most traditional of farms. It is a lesson in sustainable farming that is not to be missed. 
This book tells the story of those thirty years, and gives you recipes of the food they offer for sale, along with Jim and Debbie Athearn s own family recipes and recipes from some of the Island s favorite chefs.

Vineyard Stories

WoodenBoat magazine says this book "delights the eye while informing the mind." It takes you through the construction of Rebecca of Vineyard Haven, a sixty-foot wooden schooner designed and built by one of the few boatyards in the United States devoted exclusively to the design, construction and repair of traditional wooden boats. At the time Rebecca was constructed, she was the largest sailing vessel built on the Island of Martha's Vineyard since the election of Abraham Lincoln and the only boat of her type being built anywhere in the world. In words and extraordinary photos, you learn that every part of Rebecca is built or cast by hand by the few craftsmen in the world who still do this work. She is, as one of her builders calls her, poetry on water. Jon Wilson of WoodenBoat magazine calls this book "exquisitely beautiful." And singer James Taylor, whose boat was the first one built at the yard, labels the work being done there "astonishing." In a world that puts the word "disposable" in front of everything from cash to razors, the story that Schooner shows and tells will appeal to boat lovers, book lovers, and everyone who cares about the skill required to build something significant and useful and lovely, not just for today and tomorrow, but for the ages.

This is the delightful, fact-filled history of one of the shortest, oldest, and most unusual ferries in the country the Chappa- quiddick ferry on Martha s Vineyard. It includes stories about the blind man who skippered it for nearly forty years, the seaplane that struck it in 1937, and the roles it played in the filming of the movie Jaws. The book includes a centerfold illustration showing how the ferry works and The Chappy Ferry Movie hosted by Dick Ebersol, former chairman of NBC Sports, and produced by John Wilson, who has had a twenty-year career in sports television and who has loved the ferry all his life. The story of the Chappaquiddick ferry, which travels only 527 feet between two islands, is a history that is nestled into the lifeblood of Martha s Vineyard as vital as the whaling era that left behind Edgartown s beautiful captain s houses. It is the oldest business on the waters of the Vineyard and has always been at the heart of the waterfront that helped define Edgartown as a fishing, whaling, and recreational center. Its brief trek across the harbor from the big Vineyard to tiny Chappaquiddick has been continually marked by drama and hijinks. Its twelve owners and captains have shown a passion for their work that continues today. The Chappy Ferry Book tells an amazing, dramatic, myth-busting, two-hundred- year-old story for the very first time. It is filled with historic photos, many previously unpublished, as well as beautiful present-day images from the Island s premier photographer. It was written by a man who says he fell in love with the ferry when he was four years old. And what you don t read in the book, you ll see in The Chappy Ferry Movie, a short film on DVD that celebrates, among other things, the success of the one-minute conversation.
