Glory Farm, started in 1975 by James and Deborah Athearn, grows
about 65 acres of vegetables and small fruits on the island of
Martha's Vineyard.Small successive plantings of a wide variety of
crops supply the Farmstand from May through December.Crops include
sweet corn, lettuce, carrots, beets, tomatoes, melons, potatoes,
beans, squash, pumpkins, and more. Our herb garden supplies a full
assortment of culinary herbs. We also raise four acres of cut
flowers, and small plantings of strawberries, grapes, peaches, and
beach plums.We keep beef cows on pasture in Chilmark for which we
harvest 45 acres of hay and we also produce eggs, pork and fresh,
pasture-raised chickens to sell in the Farmstand. Twenty-three
acres of our vegetable fields are farmed using natural practices
and only OMRI certified fertilizers and pesticides. We manage the
rest of our land with a minimum of pesticides and with attention to
the long-term health of the soil.The farm name grew from the vision
of the sun rising over lush, green fields, cows with udders full of
milk ambling past bountiful gardens and hedgerows lively with
honeybees: true wealth of nature's glory.Each year we meet a new
crew of farmers, bakers, cooks, and Farmstand staff who become part
of the farm family. The farm has benefited from a variety of
wonderful people who have endowed Morning Glory with their own
special contributions.LOCATION: MA, EdgartownPI200513781
