  • Beetlebung Farm

    MakersChilmark

    Beetlebung Farm is a historic market garden of more than six acres in the heart of Chilmark town center on Martha's Vineyard. Four generations of the Fischer family farmed the land from 1961 through 2018, and its current stewards are turning it into a four-season regenerative farm. The fields grow vegetables, herbs, flowers and berries, with fruit trees, a small apiary and a young food forest. A nineteenth-century barn holds the year-round farmstand, a kitchen whose grab-and-go menu changes day to day with the harvest, and a stone mill and bakery making slow-fermented sourdough from freshly milled Northeast grain. The farmstand is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8am to 5:30pm. Cape Cod Certified visited and photographed Beetlebung Farm in person.

  • C.B. Stark Jewelers

    MakersEdgartown

    C.B. Stark Jewelers is a Martha's Vineyard jewelry maker with a seasonal shop at 10 Main Street in Edgartown and a year-round store in Vineyard Haven. Its story began in the summer of 1966, when Cheryl Barbara Stark took the ferry to the island to teach jewelry making. Cheryl and her partner Margie Meltzer grew it from a twelve-foot-square garage into a full-service jeweler. They have created more than five hundred original island designs in gold, silver, and platinum, including grape clusters, the Vineyard silhouette, town signs, and the Gingerbread Collection inspired by the Oak Bluffs Camp Ground cottages. The shops also offer repair, engraving, and custom design. Cape Cod Certified visited and photographed C.B. Stark in person.
