Despite a light morning rain, cheerful crowds headed to the Agricultural Hall grounds on Saturday morning for the first West Tisbury Farmers’ Market of the season.
Throughout the market familiar vendors were back, representing the broad spectrum of Island farms, from Morning Glory Farm, Beetlebung and Tea Lane Farm, to smaller purveyors like Island Bee Company, and Flat Point Farm with its goat’s milk soap and wool.
30 on the Agricultural Society grounds, having made the temporary move last year from the Grange Hall due to the pandemic.
Shoppers filled their bags and children frolicked about, bringing back a sense of normalcy to an Island institution founded in 1934 in response to the Great Depression and then revived in 1974.
