West Tisbury

West Tisbury, the bucolic heart of the island of Martha’s Vineyard, prides itself on its genuine rural qualities, its well-protected natural resources, its resident writers and artists, its ocean beaches, its neighborly sense of community, its wildflowers, its homespun general store, its fertile farmland (a winery, a strawberry farm, a llama farm, and hundreds of cows, sheep, and onion patches), its summer farmers’ market, and its boisterous agricultural fair each August. This slow moving and simple rural village was the fastest growing community in the Commonwealth through the 1980s. For many of its residents, West Tisbury’s biggest problem is the threat of being loved to death.
